Times of Change

The leaves aren't the only things changing around here....


I can't believe that this little girl is 5 months old :(

She is changing so much! Is always wide eyed and wanting to stand up and look at everything around her. She is starting to get better at sitting up by herself. She can do it for a while if she sit and stares at her feet :) but if she leans for a toy or gets excited she falls over! She is eating oatmeal and rice cereal and has started on vegetables!



Another thing changing, is that my sister and her family are moving to the Chicago area. We are trying to get as much time with them before they move.

Last weekend we went down to their house and watched my nephews play soccer.

It has been fun living by them the past few months and watching them grow and watching Paige interact with her cousins.



Of course Paige had to get in some play time as well!

We are loving fall and all the beautiful fall weather.

BYU Game

Of course while we were in Utah we had to go to a football game! We went and watched the BYU vs University of Central Florida game. The girls and kiddos made it to half time and the big boys stayed until the very end.

Paige did pretty well even though it was way past her bedtime!

Luckily the cougars won or else it would have ruined our weekend!

Missouri BFFS

Don't worry this is a little family tradition we have!!

While I was in Provo I had to call up our groupies from Missouri and we went and had lunch and took it to good ole Rock Canyon Park and ate and talked while the kiddos played. It was so good to catch up and see these girls again and see their little babies and how big everyone is getting. We miss them already and can't wait to see them again.

Utah Vaca

We went to Utah and tried to fit in as much family time as possible. We flew into Utah, hung out for four days then went to Boise for a couple and then a surprise visit to Idaho Falls to see Ryan's parents! It was a fun but fast trip! Love you all and can't wait until our next family vacation :)

Airplanes

Had to hurry and tell this story before I forgot about it...

Paige and I survived our first plane ride together! We traveled to Utah to see both my family and Ryan's. Paige did great on the first trip there and I was glad because I was so worried. I started to get worried again the day we were traveling back to Michigan. I tried to keep Paige's naps short so that she would take a long nap on the plane.

When we got to the airport security was a breeze and we got to our gate fine. I changed Paige's diaper so she was ready for a nap. Gave her a bottle and we boarded the plane. Right when they pushed away from the gate and started to take of Paige POOPED!! REALLY!! I have to sit here and worry that everybody on the plane would smell this stinky diaper, then Paige fell asleep. Yep! The seat belt light finally goes out and Paige is out cold. So I wrap a blanket around here hoping to keep the stink from creeping out. Paige finally woke up and I took the opportunity to change her. Changing a diaper on an airplane is kinda hard. Those bathrooms are tiny! We sit back down and I had Paige lying on her back in my lap when I started to feel something warm on my jeans. I picked her up and looked up her back... You guessed it EXPLOSION!! I had to stand up and change her again in that tiny little bathroom. I never pack an extra outfit because she never does that! She has only exploded twice in her life, now three times! I hated myself for not stopping and packing her pjs to change into. Now I had to keep her in a blanket to hide the big yellow stain on her back.

We finally landed in Houston and I had to run, seriously run, to the train to take me to the other terminal and run to the end of that terminal to board the plane. I was the last one on the plane and probably looked like a crazy woman running with a baby in the airport. I felt Paige's diaper and it was still fine from the last time which is good because I didn't have time to change it. We boarded the plane, sat down and then I felt a little wet part on her back. AGAIN!!! REALLY! AGAIN! She pooped her pants again as we were taking off. Sorry exploded again! Now she has exploded four times in her life and two of them were in a 3 hour time period. Lets just say that outfit is still soaking :)

That must have hit the spot because she slept the entire flight! Yes three hours in a poopy diaper and a stained outfit. Now I wasn't so made at myself for not packing her pjs because those would have been ruined too! I was so ready to get off the plane give her a mini bath in the kitchen sink and go to bed. I was so lucky to have gotten seats next to people who didn't mind sitting to a baby and actually played and helped entertain her.

New Week

HAPPY MONDAY!!
It's going to be a fun yet busy week... We have a lot of cleaning and laundry to do so we can pack and head to UTAH on THURSDAY!!

We are both excited for a vacation and to see family. So grandparents these pictures are for you to hold you over for FIVE MORE DAYS :)

Heartbreaking

Paige has come down with a little cold... Well thats what we hope it is, I made Ryan get out all of his medical equipment and check her ears and listen to hear breathing, pretty much I was freaking out because my calm happy easy going baby girl was screaming all night, constant runny nose and coughing. Finally around 2 am I put her in her car seat and drove around Grand Blanc until she fell asleep! She has been sleeping in her little chair because she doesn't want to lie flat, I enjoy the cuddle time but really enjoy sleep too.

Her nose has stopped running but now her voice is gone! Listen to her cute little squeaky voice. It is heart breaking that I can't do anything to help her. And I want to cry every time she opens her mouth to laugh or talk but nothing comes out and she has to try so hard for a little squeak.

Oh Paige get well soon!!!

A Jumbled Mess

Things have been a little crazy around here with family in town and driving back and forth to my sisters house to hang out with her family and her adorable new baby!


But in the last two weeks I turned 24 and we celebrated by going to Famous Daves for dinner. Ryan had to work late and that's all we could fit in before dinner. He was nice enough to bring home a cake. You know you are married to a doctor when your birthday cake comes from the hospital cafeteria!!


The weather has been cool the last couple of days and I am really excited because I have been waiting for it to get cold since March so Paige could wear this cute puffer vest!! It's still a little big but hey she's stinkin cute :)


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!


Paige keeps getting bigger and bigger! She rolled over a few weeks ago from her stomach to her back and hasn't done it since :( sad but now she is getting close rolling from her back to her stomach. Anybody else's kids stop rolling over after doing it??

Well back to Paige... We started giving her rice cereal and she is doing pretty well with it.



Scrumptious! Ok thats all that is really going on here... We just busy with work, church (oh I got called to secretary of young womans and Ryan is sunday school teacher of 15-16 yr olds) and being the coolest parents EVER!!

Just the Girls

Earlier this week we went shopping, of course, and my mom got all the grand daughters matching dresses.

Paige looked so cute just had to show you the pictures of them!

My Baby

Precious child,

Chosen daughter

While not of my flesh,

You were born

Not under my heart,

But in it.

Happy 4 months Paige

WE LOVE YOU!!
