Holy Moly!

one of Payslie's favorite places to play
Peace

helping Mommy mop the floor

she loves to empty her diaper bag and throw it's contents all over the floor.

cutest little camp chair she tried at cabella's (she will most likely have this for our next camping trip, it is just too cute not to have!)

she loves to eat the bubbles in the tub

bubble beard

waiting for the results of the baby contest we entered her in.

discovering how fun it is to play in our cupboards and pull everything out.

swimming with Daddy

we love swimming!

rasin feet!!!! haha we maybe were swimming for too long!

Holy moly! It has been a long time since I posted last. I'm really bad at that. I don't post forever and then I have like three months to catch up on.

These are just some random pics of what we have been up to the last little while. Payslie, as you can see is getting so big so fast. She has 5 almost 6 teeth now. She is trying to walk on her own, the most steps as of today she's taken by herself is 9. It will be so soon now that she will just take off! She gets into EVERYTHING!!! I don't know if I want her walking yet :) She finds it so fun to clear things off of every surface she can reach or every bag she can empty and spread everything all over the floor. Her favorite words to say are; "kitty", "whoosat" (who's that), "dada" and a lot of other jibberish words. She waves and blows kisses too! Her fits and her attitude are also getting bigger, she is quite the little sass. She does not like when we tell her "no" but will test her limits and see how much she can get away with before you come and get her....oh how I love our little stinker!

Getting Big

you can't see her sign but this is 10 months
11 months!
I can't belive she will be one in a month!!

Easter

Jason and Payslie playing in the grass in their new Easter outfits

haha I LOVE this picture. This is a typical Payslie fit. It is the cutest thing but oh my goodness, does she knows how to throw fits! (what do we have to look forward too?!? ...SIGH)

Bryce Canyon

some of the pretty views

Payslie chillin on the 4-wheeler

getting ready to go swimmimg at the hotel next to the campground. It was cold outside that's why she has her beenie on!

For spring break this year we went camping at Bryce Canyon with my parents and Squish. It was fun but cold. It was our first camping trip of the year, and Payslie's first ever. She did pretty good, but I don't think she enjoyed it as much as we did. She didn't understand why she had to wear her beenie and mittons to stay warm and would take them off, but then she got cold and didn't like that either. She did enjoy the 4-wheeler so we rode around the camp alot with her. Overall we had fun and got to enjoy the beautiful views Bryce Canyon has to offer.

Sick Baby :(

Payslie at the Doctor with RSV

At the hospital waiting to get mucus suctioned

Just after she had to get blood drawn for some tests.

Our poor little Payslie has had quite the last few weeks. She got really sick one Saturday and so on Sunday we took her to an insta care and found out she had a double ear infection and the doctor sent us to the hospital for an RSV test. Well, sure enough, along with her poor ear infections, she had RSV as well. We had to take her to the hospital a couple of times to get all of her mucus suctioned out of her chest and help clear out her sinuses. I hated that. It was so sad to hold her down while they stuck a tube 6 inches up her nose, and down her throat :( Ugh, needless to say it was a rough week or two.

Well, just when we thought she was getting better, she came down with a fever. She didn't have any other symptoms or anything but we took her to the doctor and he said not to worry but come back if it lasted for another 3 days. So......3 days and a fever of 103.3 degrees later, we were at the doctor's office AGAIN. They were concerned that her fever had lasted 5 days now, but also that she had no other symptoms so they had us go to the hospital and do some blood tests, and we had to get her suctioned again so they could test her mucus as well. They said if they didn't find anything from the blood work they would probably have to do a catheter and test her urine. (Luckily we didn't have to do that!!) The only thing they found from the tests is that she had a viral infection called Rhinovirus. I guess it is basically like a common cold and can be caused from having RSV, so luckily it isn't anything to worry about, I just wish she didn't have to go through so much to find out she had a stupid cold!

Our Poor baby is so sick and afraid of doctors now, I think this experience has scarred her (and me) for life.

Payslie

Payslie's cute earrings

Daddy holding Payslie and Jason

(they are almost 2 months apart but they look like twins!)

Payslie fell asleep like this just watching tv with Daddy. I think she wore herself out crawling around.

Watching Jazzmin through the glass door.

WOW! A lot has happened since I last posted about Payslie. She is now, very mobile, and can crawl and climb up on everything. She has her two top teeth now along with her two bottom ones. She finds it very entertaining to grind her top and bottom teeth together and the sound of it drives us crazy!!

I took her to get her ears pierced when she turned 9 months. They are so stinking cute and don't bother her at all. She doesn't even know they are there.

She loves her puppy Jazzmin. As you can tell from the pictures, she is a very large puppy! but they get along great. Payslie sits by the glass door and watches her play outside, and when she comes in Payslie watches her play and giggles everytime Jazzmin walks by her.

Payslie can give kisses now. I love it! When you ask her for kisses, she opens her mouth as wide as she can a lays a big slobbery one right on your cheek. My favorite thing is when she looks at me or BJ and gives us a big fat kiss with out us even asking!

Oh man, I could go on all day about all of the cute (and not so cute) things that she does. We love our little stinker more than anything!

Yard Work

BEFORE

AFTER

We have finally started to put our yard in. Our builders put the grass and a tree in the front, but we wanted to add some stuff to make it look better. We still have a lot of plans for it, and we are not even close to being finished, but this is a start!
