9 Months Old

Wow I'm so behind on these I never even took a "9 month" picture of Paisley :( I found one that will have to make do.

9 Month Stats:
height- 28 3/4 in. (75%)
weight- 18 lbs 12 oz (45%)
head 18 in (90%)
WOW big head haha! I don't think she has a big head but 90th percentile haha
Anyways... These next few months are some of my favorite, this is such a fun and adventurous age for babies. Paisley tries so hard to keep up with big sister. She is cruising the couches and even using her walker a few times. She lost a lot of her "Chub" this month. She got the stomach bug a few weeks ago and never really put the pounds back on after that!
She is SO happy!! I love having a happy baby. We have discovered that she LOVES the show Yo Gabba Gabba. WEIRDEST show EVER!!! but she LOVES IT! She loves music and dances along every time she hears it. She also starting sleeping through the night FINALLY this month :) Hey she beat her sister by 3 months so I will take it! My kids love to eat at night, but I was so happy that I finally got Paisley to give up her night feds. Yay for 12 hour nights!
We Love you Pais-a Pais, Paisley Daisley Doo, Paisley P, Bugga Bugga, Chubba Chubba
This girl has lots of nick names :)

Hard days can be good days

You know those days when the spirit is tapping at your heart reminding you how very blessed you really are, well yesterday that happened to me all day! Church was wonderful!! Jeff took Paisley for me so I could actually stay and listen to RS. It was a wonderful lesson and the whole time I was thinking about everything that happened in the birth of Paisley. There are still times I look at her and just start crying, I feel guilty sometimes for how perfect she really is. I feel so lucky to have witnessed such amazing miracles during that time. I never want to forget the peace and love I felt during that time. I know all of that happened to change me, to put me back where I needed to be in life. I keep hearing families who are have lost their sweet babies during birth and it BREAKS my heart. One sister bore her testimony about this during RS and my heart just broke, for the 2 hours I thought my Paisley was gone I have never felt such heart ache in my life and I can't imagine how I would have survived if she really would have left us that night.
I am forever grateful to my Heavenly Father for all the miracles that's were blessed to my little family. I pray we NEVER forget!

This hangs on my bathroom mirror and I look at it everyday and smile. This is a card from my mom that came with flowers the morning after my delivery. Those words were a small ray of sunshine when I felt like I was sitting in a dark dark hole.

Some say when you give a child alone time

they just open up and talk talk talk, well in out case we have a cute little girl who TALKS TALKS TALKS all day everyday, so it was funny to watch her last night as we took her out on a little one on one date that she was actually silent for a moment! :)

Jeff and I went to go see a movie this weekend and Liberty felt very left out, so for a little special FHE night we took her to see Winnie the Pooh. She was in HEAVEN! She talked about it all day, she was gonna go see a movie and have popcorns! My mom was nice enough to watch Paisley for us so we could really enjoy a night with just our Liberty. Liberty was so sweet and talked to Paisley all the way to grandmas house explaining to her that she was gonna have fun too, but with grandma. Cause little babies can't go to movies just big kids like her. My heart was melting in the front seat as I listened to the sweet conversation.
We did have to laugh as we drove to the movie after we dropped of Paisley that Liberty was silent, Jeff and I were talking about all the movies we had taken her to see in a theater. We thought she was in her own little world, after we stopped talking she repeated back to us the whole conversation we had just had with each other. I'm telling you this girl is a SPONGE! It was kinda an eye opener that we need to watch what we are saying in front of her!
Once we got to the movie Liberty was SO excited, she held onto her ticket all night, even while she was eating her snacks and candy she would not let either one of us hold it, or put it down. She definitely started to talk again, and was loud and asking question through the whole movie :) (That's our Liberty) at the end of the movie we told her she could run around the theater and explore, you should have seen her face, she was out of that chair and down in the front so fast!
Love my Liberty girl and I"m glad we were able to spend the night together!

Just when you think you can't love them anymore

Dinner at Baja Fresh a few weeks ago, LOOK at that face! LOVE that girl! 

they FINALLY sleep 12 hours straight, and you fall in love all over again!! 

Last night I told Paisley I would nurse her till she was 2 if she would just stop waking up for a feeding haha I guess that's all it took! 

(don't worry we will not be nursing her til she is 2, great I lied to my child! hehe) 

You know your from AZ when...

It's stormy and 108 outside at 6pm, and you run out to ride bikes outside while it's "nice"

Summer Fun Part 1

We have had a fun filled summer! Here are a few things we have been up too.

Mothers Day

What a wonderful day! My girls and Jeff spoiled me, its nice to have a day with breakfast in bed, nice cards and gifts! Yes I'm in a robe! We have 8am church so this was kinda rushed, I was actually steeping into the shower when Jeff came in with breakfast haha

Sleep Over

Liberty had her First sleep over with cousins, it was a last minute idea but we loved having cousin Ally from Jeff's side and cousin Kallie from my side. Those girls had so much fun! They played hard, took baths and had ice cream! They all feel asleep as soon as I put on a movie for them.

Rose Creek

We made a Cabin trip, we started out the weekend with the Williamsons and ended the weekend with my dad and family coming up for a visit. I love the cabin and feel so blessed to be apart of this family who is always so willing to let us enjoy it!

Bath time

Just random cute pictures of the girls taking a bath.

Fathers Day

I'm pretty sure I was super lame last fathers day and didn't really do anything for Jeff so I knew I had to make this year special. Lindsey and I got together with all the kids and made Jeff and Reggie shirts. It says "hands down best dad" It was quite the adventure getting all the hand prints on our shirts! :) Jeff also got a new pair of shoes and a tool box! We then spent the rest of the day with our dads! I hope it was a special day for Jeff.

8 Months Old

Man I'm behind on these :)

This year is flying by and I don't like it one bit!

My chubby little girl is growing up too fast and losing her chub! :(

At 8 Months old Paisley is a happy busy girl!

She she crawling around everywhere. She loves to pull her self up onto anything and try to walk. She loves it when we will walk her around the house.

Every morning Paisley usually wakes up before Liberty, we will be playing in the family room but the minute she hears Liberty yelling for me she gets a huge smile and starts crawling towards Liberty's room. I will often put them both in Liberty's bed where they will play for a good 30 minutes before either one of them is ready to get out.

Paisley is a NOISY little girl. I was embarrassed the other week in church with how loud her jabbering was getting.

It brings me such joy to watch my little miracle baby growing and learning everyday!
