Another first!

PAISLEY IS 3 MONTHS OLD TODAY! Time sure flies!
Last night was Paisley's first night in her crib in her own room for night time sleeping! She took a bath at 7:15pm (Mommy did it all by herself!) and ate at 7:55pm, was asleep by 8pm, woke up at 9pm got her diaper changed and went back to sleep at 9:15pm and slept til 6:15am with only one mini interuption at 3:15am for a binky to be put back in her mouth! She then ate at 6:15am and went back to sleep at 7am to wake at 10:15am!!!! We've got a sleeper! I did cheat and put her in her bassinet at 6:15 when I fed her, just out of laziness though!
I'm so proud of her, here's some pics! She's growing so fast!

Life is Good

I figured it was about time I posted again with some updated pictures of our almost 3 month old (she turns 3 mos old on Weds!). So here's what's new with us:

Jake sold his motorcycle and is now on the hunt for another great deal he can sell again and make a little profit when he's ready.














He's also in finals week of this term and has passed his judo class and is now a green belt in judo!







Over spring break he will be studying for the DAT so on June 1, we can start applying to dental schools! He's really been working hard at school and he's doing great in spite of having to take Organic Chemistry!



He's also a great Dad and Paisley just adores him, she will just sit with him for hours!



















and she loves her Daddy!



















Because she's turning 3 mos old soon, I had to get her nursery put together, here's a picture of the bed with it's new duvet cover and her crib (a steal on craigslist!)


She is doing great with her crib already, she's only played in there and had 1 nap in it, she slept her normal nap, no problems, we are really lucky!


She's really growing and has been holding up her head really well and is doing little baby push ups and of course rolling over.



We've even experienced some real laughs, she's only laughed during her bath, she loves when the water runs over her, it tickles!



She's also our cute little supporter of her Auntie Marsha, here she is in her divensurf wear!

And that's our story lately! We are going to be taking her 3 month old photos soon, so I'll be posting those after they are done!

Sleep Tracking...neat find

So I know a lot of you aren't tracking your children's sleep because they are all old enough to have regular schedules, but some of you might be having more babies...and I think this is super cool and free so far!

Check out Paisley's site, it's pretty neat to help me prepare for her going into her own crib and room in two weeks. We decided to make that transition over Jake's spring break so it can be more of a joint effort :)

Okay here's the site : http://go.trixietracker.com/site/paisley

Sleep Training...????

So today is the first day I've really tried to make sure Paisley's naps are taken in her bassinet and only for the last few days have I been making sure she sleeps at night in the bassinet too...it's rough, I love cuddling with her, but everything I've read tells me I've got to get her used to sleeping on her own.

I feel blessed because she doesn't have trouble putting herself to sleep if she's tired I can set her in her bassinet and w/in 5 minutes most often she's asleep. We also ended up with a video baby monitor which is probably the only way I feel like I can be apart from her. It's fantastic I would recommend it to anyone!

So anybody have any suggestions on getting over the anxiety of putting your baby from their bassinet to a crib in another room?

Rolling Over!!!

Today is a landmark day, Paisley rolled over for the first time and I caught the second and third times on video....check it out!
