Teddy Bear

I love this picture, my friend Mandy gave Paige this cute little teddy bear and she loves it.  She's a lover of stuffed animals, I'm sure her bedroom will be full of them in years to come.  Paige had a fun time snuggling up to Mandy, now we just need to get Paige and Mandy's little boy James together to play!

Bedtime

Bedtime has still been a struggle for Paige (and her parents).  She usually fusses for a few minutes at nap time but then falls asleep....bedtime is usually a half an hour ordeal.  It's so hard to listen to her cry, knowing that she's spit up right where she lays her head...then knowing I can't go move her becuase she'll cry even harder.  It's stressful to me and I usually end up pretty crabby around Paige's bedtime too.  Ry's good about reminding me that she's fine, but I usually find myself glued to the moniter watching her every move.  I pray that one day soon it won't be this hard, she's a stubburn cookie. 

Momma's Face

Paige has a new found love of sucking on my cheeks and chin.  Any chance she can get, she grabs my hair and pulls me close...I giggle like crazy while she attacks me.  I end up with drool all over my face, and it's pretty funny.  Ry gets a kick out of it...hence the pictures.  Thanks for all the soaking wet kisses Paige :)!

Tired Baby...

I must say that Paige is growing to like her carseat!  She used to cry the entire time and now she usually looks around and often falls asleep with minimal crying.  I had to include this picture, I think she looks so cute...notice she still has her hand on the toy.  I'm enjoying our car rides much more too!

20 Weeks

The Blizzard!

It's a snowstorm in MN today, Ryan was out at 9am to plow us out and soon he'll have to go out again for another round! 

Paige must have known that it was a cold and snowy day, she slept in until 8:15!  What a blessing for mommy and daddy, I haven't slept that late in months!  Of course she was up a few times last night, but the later wake up was great!  Since we're snowbound we're all hanging out together and snuggling...and we're all in our PJ's!

We are so blessed to have a nice warm house, I can't imagine spending my day any other way!!

Our week...

Ryan was in Texas from Monday morning until Wednesday night, we missed him and I know he missed Paige like crazy.  He was so happy to get home from work tonight so he could play with her, he hasn't put her down since...he's a great daddy.

We've had a rough week at bedtime, now that she's rolling to her tummy she has a hard time falling asleep.  There has been a ton of loud crying followed by a pool of boogies, drool and spit-up where she rests her sweet head, it's been very hard on mommy.  She seems to sleep better on her tummy but it's just hard for her to fall asleep...she is one stubborn cookie.

Paige and I went on an adventure to the mall today.  I didn't hear a peep from her at all, not in the car...not at the mall and she fell asleep on the way home, it was a huge success!  She was so cute, her wide eyes checked out all the lights, colors and people.  I wonder what her view was like from her stroller, or what she thought of all of it.  All I know is that it was a great day and I was grinning ear to ear on the way home, I know she can do it and be totally content!

So happy that tomorrow is Friday...looking forward to the weekend!
