Missing my family

My Parents and Paige in January.

Before I had Paige I would just hop in the car and visit my family whenever I missed them. Things have changed now. I have only seen my sister once and my parents twice since I had Paige. I hate that they live so far away.

I am lucky that Nathen's Parents and Robbie, Aaron, and Cole live so close. I wish Em and her boys lived closer too.

I am happy that Adriana moved back to Las Vegas and that we have so many amazing friends. They all make missing my family easier.

My sweet babys 6 month pictures

My friend Monica took these pictures. She takes amazing pictures. It is so nice to go to her house instead of going to a studio. I can feed the baby and change diapers in between pictures. We even took a time out for a nap when she did our family pictures.

The grossest thing ever happened after we took these pictures. We were looking at the pictures on Monica's computer and Paige kept coughing like something was stuck to the back of her throat. I decided to feed her in hopes that whatever was irritating her throat would be washed down. However, that did not work and after I fed her she continued to cough and everything she ate came up and went down my shoulder all over my front and back. I held her close to me so that as little as possible would get on Monica's floor. I had it running in my cleavage and butt crack. It was so gross, but I was more worried about her than caring about what was all over me. I did enjoy the shower I took when I got home. The joys of parent hood.

Laughing Baby

Paige is so quiet when we are around other people. A lot of people ask if she even makes noise. She likes to watch people. I also love to watch people. I catch myself staring at people and then I feel stupid when they notice.

I put this video on to show that she does make noise.

She likes to growl and she sounds really mean. I cannot get her to do it for the camera. Every time I get the camera out she stops growling.

Sleeping Baby

I love to take pictures of Paige sleeping. Here are a few of my favorites.

Nathen and Paige were holding hands while they were sleeping. My flash did not work on the first picture and Paige let go of Nathen's hand while I was changing the settings on my camera. Then when I took this picture the flash woke Nathen up. He was not too happy with me, but it was so cute I had to have a picture.

My little Monkey with her monkeys!

I left her in her highchair while I was doing stuff around the house and she fell asleep.

Cousin Cole

Cole and Paige are both getting so big. Cole has been walking for a while now. He likes to push Paige around in her walker and in her stroller.

She got mad at him while she was in her walker and she followed him around the house yelling at him. I got her out of her walker and sat next to him and she was still yelling at him. I think she is going to be a bossy little girl. She comes by that naturally. I am a little too bossy.

I was worried about her being picked on since out of all her cousins she is the youngest, but I think she will be able to hold her own when she getts a little bigger.

He was so cute. I am not sure how far he would have went if I would have not turned them around.

My first blog entry

My nickname for Paige is: Pretty Precious Princess Paige

Nathen calls her nougat, cause she is as sweet as candy.

Paige helping me pack, more like unpack.

I am finally joining the rest of you bloggers. I figured since I love looking at every ones blogs, I should do one of my own.

A lot has changed in my life in the last year. They say a baby changes every thing and they do. Before Paige we use to never stay home. Now we are home all of the time. She is our entertainment. She is so cute and sweet.
