{My baby is 6 weeks old}

My little monkey is 6 weeks old and is the cutest thing I've ever seen. She is my little best friend and I love everything about her. She is so much fun and I don't know what I'd do without her. It's crazy how her little personality is developing. She is starting to realize when she gets her feelings hurt or when she is sad and she curls up her bottom lip and makes a little tearful noise. It's sad but sooo cute. Doug and I are the luckiest parents in the world. Here are a few more things that I just love about her.

• -I love that she wakes up in the morning so happy and just smiles and smiles.
• -I love that throughout the day we can take naps together and she sleeps perfectly in my arms.
• -I love the little faces she makes. She pokes out her little lips in a little perfect o circle.
• -I love that her fingernails are longer than mine.
• -I love that when she wakes up her hair is always in a little frizz ball.
• -I love her little mullet she has in the back of her hair. I want to put it into a little pony tail.
• -I love that she loves me to hold her.
• -I love that when I'm feeding her and she starts to get tired she pauses and makes three long drawn out hums.
• -I love her full little round belly after she's done eating.
  
• -I love how she falls asleep when I'm feeding her.
• -I love her side smiles as she sleeps.
  
• -I love her perfect little lips and her light pink eyelids.
• -I love the dark pink spot on her left eyelid.
  
• -I love her little thigh rolls.
  
• -I love that she'll stop eating and look up ate me from the corner of her eyes.
• -I love that in the middle of the night when I'm so tired and change her diaper she poop all over me.
• -I love that right when I'm done changing her diaper she'll poop again.
• -I love that I have to wait to change her diaper until I know she is done pooping....even though I'm always wrong. :)
• -I love how when she sleeps she puts her hands in the most adorable places, like across her eyes or on her cheeks, or even under her chin when she lays on my stomach.
• -I love her perfect little ears and eyelashes.
• -I love her chubby little cheeks and face.
  
• -I love her hair that sticks up on the top of her head.
  
• -I love how she always has her feet crossed.
• -I love when she stretches and sticks out her little bum and neck.
  
• -I love her little grunts.
• -I love how sometimes when she cries she curls up her bottom lip.
  
• -I love that her eyes look just like her dad's.
• -I love that her hands are identical to my mom's {all but the long fingernails :)}
• -I love that when her little eyes are closed she looks like Kari's and my baby pictures.
  
• -I love that I am her mom!!
  

Paisley on Easter Sunday {5 weeks 5 days}

One of a kind {5 weeks 6 days}

We love you Monkey!

To: "Prissy" From: Grandpa Nick

My Dad made Paisley the most unbelievable little contraption. He called us one night around 9:30 to ask if we'd still be awake in about an hour so he could come up to bring "Prissy" {a.k.a Paisley} a gift. He drove all the way up here and only stayed for about twenty minutes. After he showed us he took it back to stain it and then today, Easter Sunday, he and Uncle Buck delivered the finish product.
.......I give you.......

THE HIGHCHAIR!
.......Flip it!!.......
THE DESK!!
.......Flip it!! and.......
THE ROCKING HORSE!!
Thanks Grandpa Nick! We love it!
{Grandpa Nick always has a nick name for the grand kids and they always stick with him. One day he accidentally called Paisley Priscilla and now calls her Prissy for short ever since!}

Golfing

This Easter weekend when Grandma and Grandpa Fowles were here we were able to go golfing. Grandma Deb and Aunt Devyn volunteered to watch Paisley so I could once again take advantage to get out and go golfing with the boys. Dean took Dallin, Doug and I to Cedar Ridge golf course and we played 9 holes. We played through sunshine and rain and it was so fun. Thanks again to all of you for your help and entertainment!

First EASTER for Paisley

This year for Easter weekend Paisley and I were able to go spend some time down in St. George with my side of the family. We had a lot of fun and had lots of laughs. The kiddos adore her and take every chance they can to hold and cuddle her. We were able to spend some time at my sister Nikki's house and do some yard work for my parents and just have a good time. Well while I was at my sister Nikki's house I came across something that was very special to me. For Christmas when I was a little girl I got a matching set of nightgowns- one for my doll and one for me. I have always just loved the little doll nightgown and when I saw it in my nieces room I just about died. I was so excited to see it and in aw told the little girls about it. My sister could see how excited I was to find it and told me to take it home. I was so excited. Well when I was at my parents house, Mandi was holding Paisley while I was helping my mom. Low and behold I come around the corner and find this....Mandi had taken the time to undress Paisley and put her in the little nightgown. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen.

She wasn't very happy that I took out her binki

To finish off Easter weekend we came back to Cedar to see Dad and Grandma Deb and Grandpa Dean stayed with us. They had PJ a fun little Easter basket of clothes. Thanks so much for the fun weekend with us and for the lovely Easter basket.

I added some more clothes and the little Egg cartons of Bubble gum. It was a favorite Easter treat of mine as a little girl so when I found them at the store I HAD to get them. They were delicious too.

Happy Easter to all! Even though we got lots of gifts we still remember the true meaning of Easter and we are grateful for our Savior and all that he has done and continues to do for us. We love him!

PJ's 1st trip to Delta

This last weekend we were fortunate enough to take a trip to Grandma and Grandpa Fowles and introduce Paisley to Delta. We had so much fun and can't wait to go back. She was definitely spoiled and I'm sure she loves it there. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for lots of fun. We love you!!

They were all so sweet to watch Paisley while Doug and I got out of the house to do our favorite thing....GOLFING! It was our first date and my first time back at the game since being Pregnant. I didn't know if I'd really get back into it but now that I've gone back for a round- I've got my craving for golf back. I love it. I'm dying to go again. I could ride around in those carts all day long and enjoy a beautiful course. Thanks Babe for a great time!

Grandma Deb took PJ and me to the fabric store and bought us this material and showed us how to make these cute little bows on the blanket. We love it. Thanks Grandma!

4 weeks

Yesterday, Paisley turned 4 weeks old. It has already flown by so fast and she has grown a ton. She is so sweet and her little eyes captivate me. She is starting to smile more and more and she just has the cutest little legs and cheeks. I just want to kiss her all of the time. Her little hair is growing so much and her mullet is getting longer. We love it. She makes the cutest little noises and Doug and I just look at each other and laugh. Last night I was feeding her and she had her hand resting perfectly on my chest in the perfect I LOVE YOU. It was absolutely adorable and I wish I could have taken a picture. I took it as a sign that she was trying to tell me :)

3 weeks old and growing........

Today our baby is 3 weeks old and absolutely adorable. We love every little grunt, sneeze, whimper, poop and move she makes. Doug and I laugh so hard when we change her diaper and apparently she is not done and all 3 of us end up having it all over us. She is a blast. My favorite time of day is when she and I get to take our nap together. She will lie right in my arms and we will sleep. It's so fun and such a special bonding moment for us. It's like she knows she's with me and she will be safe. I love it and look forward to many more.
This was a picture I was took of her yesterday trying out her little chair.
I absolute love love love this picture.

Doctors Visit Again

This last Friday we took her to 2nd doctors appointment with Dr. Nielson and she was a little hungry during the visit (oops- my fault) so she cried a lot and we saw her first little tear drop. It was very unsettling. Dr. Neislon came in and did all the necessary checks and put some stuff on her belly button to help it dry out more underneath because it was still attached. After the doctor left his nurse came in because it was time to prick her foot to test her blood. The assistant had me hold a heating pack on her foot while she went to get some papers from the doctor. Paisley sat and cried and I was getting very frustrated and just wanted to take my baby and run. I hated every second of it. I just wanted to get out of there and save her from what was about to happen even though it is for her own sake and good reason. Finally when the assistant came back in we were ready to get this over with. I was able to hold her while they pricked her foot which was comforting but not comforting enough. She began prepping the foot and I was almost red in the face and wanting to cry because it was the wrong foot. However, I didn't say anything. Paisley was crying and miserable and then when I heard the prick there was a sudden but short silence ... then tears all over again. It absolutely broke my heart. We go back in 6 weeks for her 2 month old shots and I'm NOT looking forward to that. :(
