Floppy??!!

Paisley recently had her 4 month visit with the doctor. She is actually about 4 1/2 months, but with the holidays it pushed our visit a little later. Unfortunately, Paisley only got to sleep about 20 minutes before we went and the visit was right in the middle of her nap time. Needless to say, she was not happy to see him. She is usually sooo mellow and happy, but boy...she DID NOT want that strange man to hold her!! He asked me if I had any concerns and I mentioned the obvious eczema all over her little face and body and mentioned that I was wondering about her leg strength...(she doesn't really use her legs to push off when I bounce her) so he took a look at her and described her as FLOPPY! ugh! So, he recommended that we do a consultation with a physical therapist to see if she qualifies. They are suppose to contact me sometime this week, but we are crossing our fingers and hopeful the she wont be a candidate. In the mean time Paisley and I are practicing our aerobics! She is getting very good at the bicycle :) I've been trying to give her even more tummy time and putting her in her play yard. She also likes to sit up in bumpee chair and play with her toys. We have just been having so much fun with her and adore her to pieces.

Baby's first Holiday season!

Stan and I spent Christmas this year in Idaho with his family. It was a little hard not to be with my family this year, but it was only fair since the last couple years have been spent at my sister's house. I missed being there, but we did have a great time in Idaho and Stan doesn't get to see his brothers very often so it was nice for them all to get together.
Paisley enjoyed all the attention and constantly being in someones arms! Santa brought her a stocking full of her favorite binkis, some teething rings, and some more toys!
Stan and I layed low for New Years Eve. Paisley went to bed pretty early and Stan fell asleep on the floor watching TV. I woke him up right before midnight :)

11 Weeks Old

Just some more pictures!

Obsessed!!

Stan and I were going to take Paisley in to get some professional pictures taken, but the place was booked. So I decided to have our own little photo shoot on the couch! We'll have to get her in for some good pictures soon...she's growing so fast. We just can't get enough of her...

Not feeling too happy about this idea...

That's better!
Who really wants to wear a bow the size of their face?
Our lil chubbers!

Happy Halloween!

Paisley celebrated her first Halloween today! We didn't actually go anywhere, but I had her in her costume long enough to snap a few shots! Stan and I just stayed in and scarfed down some cookies. Halloween is one holiday that I don't get real excited for. I love the dressing up part, and seeing all the cute trick or treaters, but I really don't care for all the scary stuff! I got an email the other day entitled, "so, funny". Here I was watching a girl ride around on her bike waiting for her to run into a pole or something when out of nowhere this awful, screaming horror face pops up. I just about died! "NO THANK YOU!!! I was almost in tears, it scared me so bad. So, no scary movies or haunted houses for us...I can't even handle the dumb previews they put out for the scary movies these days. Thank goodness Stan doesn't like them either :) Have a Happy non-scary Halloween!

OH SWEET 'P'

Below was Stan's first attempt to start a blog for us...it was a nice try, but we both failed to make any further attempts! Now, almost 9 months later we've decided to give this blog thing another shot. So, here we go...

MEET PAISLEY ELLE!!! 2 months ago at 4:22 a.m. Paisley decided the wait was over. She came racing into our lives full speed ahead and turned our crazy world upside down! I had many warnings and wonders of the adventure headed my way...the late nights the sounds of a baby's cry, being in constant demand. What I didn't know was the complete, and utter feeling of peace that would and has come over me. To sit in silence and look down into the eyes of such a beautiful little thing that we were entrusted with, is an experience that has left me with an overwhelming feeling of perfect contentment. "How could we be so lucky!!??" I never imagined such a wonderful blessing and rewarding experience. We love our baby girl!
