Pictures!

It is so crazy how fast time seems to go now that I have a baby. I constantly feel like I am playing catch-up, especially on this blog. Here are some pictures of our little family throughout November and December.

We have been busy but having a great time enjoying life as new parents. Latest news from us- PAISLEY ROLLED OVER!! DECEMBER 7TH 2013 at 2:37 pm

 

We are excited for Christmas and love watching Paisley discover new things each day. She LOVES looking at Christmas lights. She was having the time of her life downtown and at the festival of trees. She was kicking her legs and was just mesmerized by all the lights at people.

 

We have a little group of friends that we have been trying new restaurants with each month. So far we have tried Couscous, Sugarhouse BBQ and Adobos Caribbean Grill. Each of these restaurants have been delicious and we would recommend all of them. It is so fun exploring our own city.

Blessing Day

On Sunday September 29th we blessed our beautiful little girl. Brad's whole family on his mom's side was able to be there which was really neat. Brad did an amazing job! The whole day went better than I could have hoped for, and Paisley looked beautiful! After the blessing we had a small get together at Brad's parent's house. Thanks to everyone who helped make her big day so special!

Two Months Old!

Here is little Miss Paisley at 2 months old. She gets stronger, chubbier and more fun every day!

• Can control her head
• Usually sleeps 4-5 hours, but has slept for a 7 hour stretch and a 9 hour stretch...hopefully this continues!
• Still fits in newborn clothes, but can also wear 0-3 months
• LOVES tubby time
• She's not sure how she feels about TUMMY time
• Has the cutest, chubbiest leg rolls
• Brad calls her bubbles because she "shoots bubbles out of her mouth and her bum"
• Loves to eat
• Enjoys walks and being outside
• Likes to suck on dad's nose

One Month Old

My sweet baby is already 1 month! It is crazy how fast the time goes. I am savoring every precious moment I have with her. She is so perfect and I love that I get to be home with her all day! I can see how some people would get bored and get a little cabin fever being at home with a newborn all day, but I absolutely love it! Being a mom is definitely the most satisfying job I have ever had.

 

She is such a good baby. She hardly ever cries-when she is hungry she doesn't cry she just grunts and grumbles and makes smacking noises and that's how you know she's ready to eat. It's so nice to wake up to those cute noises rather than a screaming baby :) She eats about every 2 hours in the day, sometimes she will go as long as 4 hours, but we try to do every 2-3. At night she will go 3.5-4.5 hours which is great! It takes us about an hour at each feeding to get her diaper changed, eat, burp and get her back to sleep. She loves bath time and going on walks. She will wiggle and squirm until she gets in the perfect position and then she can sleep like a rock. She is still in newborn clothes which I love! We switched to size 1 diapers-she can still fit in newborn but she fills her diapers so full that we switched to avoid leaks :) Her cord fell off when she was 10 days old. She likes to be swaddled if her arms are out because she sleeps with her hands above her head...just like her dad.

 

She is just the sweetest thing and we love her so much!
