EASTER 2011

This Easter was so much fun with Paizley. She loved all the candy and searching for eggs. We started off Easter Saturday at the city egg hunt. Paizley only got one egg. That was perfect for her though and she did it all by herself, unlike all the other kids! Then we had a party at my sister's place. We had yummy food and Paiz got to search for more eggs this time...she loved it! Her expressions when she would find an egg was priceless! That night we had more yummy food at my in-laws. The next morning was Easter Sunday and we let Paiz look in her Easter basket. She was SO excited. Christmas all over! She mostly loved the candy, but enjoyed her other things too. Then Craig did a short lesson on why we celebrate Easter. We showed her a picture of Jesus and told her that's why the Easter bunny comes to celebrate Jesus. We had to keep it simple and on her level! We finished it off with a yummy breakfast and day at church. Here's all the pictures from the weekend:

15 Months

Today was Paizley's 15 month check-up. I know I say this everytime, but I can' believe she's already 15 months! Good times. Here are her stats:

Weight= 20 lbs- 9%

Height= 2'6"- 33 %

Head= 76%

She still has a big head, but that's because she has such a big brain and is so smart! Still super tiny for her age too. That's ok, she's healthy and adorable and that's all that matters. She's right on track with everything and here is alittle about what our princess can do: loves books, drawing, playing outside, playing ball and catch, playing with animals, loves playing with other kids, can almost do a forward roll by herself (we might have a gymnast on our hands!),loves to dance and sing, make messes, and can say some words like mama, dada, wawa, please (in sign language), hot, eyes, Jesus (she really can!), and cheese. That's our girl and we love her so very much. xoxox

'I Do It Myself'

Paiz is all about doing it herself these days...EVERYTHING, but especially eating. She believes she is big girl who can feed herself. She is getting big, but not big enough to eat...well without getting completely messy. Oh well, this is one of those things as a mom I have to just let her do and don't worry about getting dirty. Believe me it's really hard, but she loves it.

14 Months

Here is Paizley at 14 months. One thing about her at 14 months is that she has SO much energy...so much that it's almost impossible to get her to hold still for a picture. We did get a few and that's why there are a few with mama...even thought she still wouldn't smile. She either won't smile or pulls huge cheesy smiles. What a cutie. 14 months has probably been one of my most favorite moments with Paiz. Her personality is really starting to show. She's starting to talk jiberish too and it's hilarious. Craig and I love to make up things that she's saying. She's recently learned to "wink", walk backwards, turn in circles, and balance on one leg. She gets so proud of herself...not to mention her parents! We really are so proud of her...she's gorgious from the inside out.

Isn't she the most gorgious thing! Such a doll

The Cheeser smile...love it

Projects

This was a project I did last weekend for Paizley's room. It's the letter P made out of crayons. I saw it on a TV show that I like to watch as I run on our tredmill. I thought, "Hey I could do that." Well little did I know! It was WAY harder than it looks. After about 5 hours of hard labor...I finished it. I think it turned out super super cute. So it was worth it, but I would probably never do it again! We have another project in the works...painting Paizley's play room. Every mother knows that they want everything for their kids and I've been wanting to paint her boring little playroom for so long. Well, we finally got to it. Pictures will come soon. I think it turned out so cute. Lime Green!!

Random Fun with the Marvins

Mama
Paiz and dad being silly...dad abviously was in charge of this bath! Her hair was getting so long. She just had her first hair cut actually. My sister-in-law Holly trimmed up the mullet and made it into a cute little bob and trimmed the bangs so they swish better. She's gorgious as ever!

Don't freak out...this is NOT lipstick! Only chocolate lipstick...her fav.

Wishin' it was summer

Paizley has been getting so bored since the snow came. She LOVES being outside. She is definitely her daddy's daughter. There was one day that was decent weather compared to what it's been so I decided to take her out. We just went walking around exploring. She loved it. Even though when we got back home her little cheeks were red and her nose was cold, she didn't comlain once and actually cried because she wanted to stay outside. You can tell by all the pictures she loves climbing and stomping on things. We look forward to summertime when we can spend many hours outside doing more exploring.

She looks so cute in her winter gear

This is one of my favorite pictures because it shows how tiny she is. She's pretty petite for her age and I just love this picture because you look at it and can't believe such a little thing is running around like she is!

Let's go mama!
