Changes Changes Changes

Welcome Spring!! It has been so nice these past few days. Paige got to take her very first stroll outside today in the 60 degree weather. She just happily rode in the stroller, only squinting a few times as the sun shined in her eyes. She has become such a different baby lately. We no longer have a fussy baby!! Yippeeee! She is all full of smiles, all the time. She especially loves when people talk to her. She will give you tons of grins and giggles. She has apparently grown out of her tummy issues we had for the first 2 months or so, and hasn't had a fussy spell for a few weeks. It makes life for Mom and Dad so much easier.  But it seems everything is happening so fast. Our little baby has already rolled over a few times this week. She works so hard at it, but gets frustrated after a while. I think we are going to have our hands full when she becomes mobile;  she may be a wild one! It is hard to believe that she is almost 3 months old. Not sure where the time has gone, or how it got away so fast. 

We are all getting anxious for spring to officially get here.  We just purchased our very first camper, and can't wait to get to use it. A few trips have already been booked, and I am sure there are many more to add to the calendar. The last few years we have crashed in my mom and my sisters campers, but with our little addition to our family, we decided it was time to get our own space. Our girls are really proud to have their own camper, and cannot wait it's arrival.  There are many great memories waiting to be made!

 

Chris has been really busy at work, which is good. I have been trying to get out to do some walking, when the weather allows. I have been battling a cold for a few weeks,  and will be thankful to kick it to the curb any day now.  Holly is quickly becoming a teenager (way TOO fast), but is a pretty good kid, even despite the attitude. Alyssa too can show attitude at times, but is maturing right along. They get along like any sisters do, best friends one minute, and at each others throats the next. I guess that's what you get when you have all girls in the house. Chris is a lucky man.

Quick update

Where has the time gone? Every day time goes by faster and faster. Our baby is 10 weeks old already. She is currently up to 11lbs, and is 22" long. They grow so fast! Our nights are MUCH better. I finally get 4-5 hours of continuous sleep, which is soooo nice.

I  started back to work a week ago, so the little extra sleep is very welcome. Paige was baptized a few weeks ago, and we had a wonderful little party for her. All of her grandparents gathered at our house on Saturday night. We grilled steaks and had a great time visiting with each other.  Sunday was a big day for the little Miss, she was baptized at our church, while many relatives were present to witness such a blessed event. We then had everyone at our house for lunch to celebrate. 

Her first week at daycare was successful. She seems to love her daycare lady, and soaks up all the attention the other little kids give her. It was a little rough for Mom the first few days, but leaving her at daycare with a big smile on her face made it much  easier. 

As for our big girls, both have recently participated in their schools' science fairs. Holly earned a Garfield School First Place ribbon (voted best by her classmates)! We are very proud of her!  This was the first year of science fair for Alyssa, and she also did very well.  We continue to be busy with Girlscouts, (It's COOKIE season). Soon it will be spring break. Speaking of spring....we all can't wait for nicer weather. !! Let's hope its right around the corner.
