Friday, April 11th - Paige went on her first vacation :) Colton and I took Paige up to Flagstaff to visit my sister and her kids. On Sunday, Colton drove home to go back to work... boo... while my sister, her 2 kids, Paige and myself packed up in my car and drove to Vegas to surprise my little brother at his volleyball tournament. We stayed in Vegas until Tuesday then Paige and I drove the 5.5 hours back to Flagstaff to drop them off and 3 hours back to Mesa. Paige did AWESOME! As for me, I never want to drive again...
Sunday, May 4th, 2014 - Colton blessed Paige at church. He always used to tell me, "aside from my wedding day, I have looked forward to blessing my first child the most" and secretly he always hoped he would have a daughter to name Paige first so it was even more special. What was ever more special to me, she was blessed in the same dress I was blessed in.
Tuesday, May 13th, 2014 - Paige found herself a best friend. This "best friend" has to travel with us where ever we go. This pink giraffe calms her down when nothing else will. At night, I just lay her in her crib with the giraffe on her belly and she passes out. Cutest thing ever! She loves holding on to it.
2 Month Check Up:
Monday, May 19th - 2 months, 1 week, 2 days old
Weight: 11lbs 13oz
Height: 24 inches
Shots received: 4
Reaction to shots: Cried for about 30 seconds then fell asleep.
2 Month Update:
Sleep schedule: Paige goes to bed around 8:00pm and sleeps 9 hours straight. She then wakes up, wants to nurse for 10 minutes and goes right back to sleep for another 3-4 hours. I am not sure I can call myself a "true mom" yet because I have not had to stay up longer than 20 minutes with her at night. I sleep better now than I did when I was pregnant. Knock on wood.
3 days old on the left, 2 months old on the right:
Her 5 Current Loves:
1. She loves to smile. She wakes up incredibly happy! Who wouldn't after sleeping 12+ hours a night!?
2. She loves bath time. She will sit, just kicking around, in the bath for 30 minutes a night if we let her.
3. She loves to sit up. She's been sitting in a bumbo since she was 7 weeks old.
4. She loves to be tickled, especially by her dad.
5. She loves "talking"! She tries so hard to make all the noises and sounds we make. She almost can giggle/laugh.
More Pictures, just because I'm obsessed with her cute face :)
She loves when her cousins want to play with her... even if their dolls are almost as big as her!
She went to a lot of her uncle's volleyball games in her short 2 month old life
