mommy moments

The other day I had one of those mommy moments. You know, the ones that make you feel so special and so happy and every time you think about it, it makes you want to cry a little.

 

Paisley had gotten shots the day previous day and I knew she wasn't feeling good. We were up most of the night and she just couldn't stay asleep for longer than 30 minutes. Finally at 6:30, after being up since 4 trying to get her to sleep I decided we'll just get up for the day. She had a low fever and I could tell she wasn't feeling good at all. I cuddled her and played on the floor with her and she fell asleep on me sitting up. It was the cutest thing-she just wanted her mommy! I remember being sick as a little girl and all I wanted was my mom to cuddle me and hold me, and now I am the one she wants. I am the one she needs to make her feel all better. It was such a special moment between me and her, and I will never forget it. I love being your mommy Paisley Jane bug.

Mini Vacation

Over Presidents' day we took a mini vacation down to St. George. We went down with Jordan and Kristy and stayed with Kristy's parents at their house. We went rock climbing, played games, ate delicious swig cookies, but mostly enjoyed some sunshine and warm weather. It was a nice break from school and work and it was just what we needed. Paisley did great on the car ride. We stopped in Fillmore on the way down and I fed her real quick, but other than that she slept and played with Kristy :) On the way home she was so exhausted from our weekend, not to mention she didn't get a nap all morning, so she slept the entire way home. She really is such a great baby and always delivers when she needs to.

Last 4 pictures are Paisley on Valentines Day :)
