Month to Month...pure bliss!

I have been so slow at blogging the last few months! I want to most importantly for myself so I can keep track of my baby's growth and life! Follow along if you would like as well.... :) I sure think my baby is the cutest thing around...along with every other mother, but mine is really the cutest. ha.


1 MONTH
  • Still loves to scratch her face! Hand protectors still needed :)
  • Very attentive since the day she was born! Eyes wide open, has to see everything...
  • LOVES binky. We transitioned to the yellow one from the hospital one cause she kept it in better...able to keep her binkies in pretty well since birth
  • Started sleeping at least 5-6 hours after 3 weeks. Wow, it was heaven! 
  • Loves to be rocked to sleep in her swing or sleeping with Daddy on the couch
  • Exclusively breastfed



Didn't like Mommy putting her next to bear...
Love this cute elephant outfit! Still so tiny! 



First bath went from this...


To this in a month...She loves them now!

July 7th...Blessing Day! Thanks to all Jadelyn's family and friends for supporting us and coming to see her on this sacred, special occasion...



Momma loved picking out Jadelyn's dress for her special day. It wasn't easy, and she regrets all those years she could have learned to sew! But alas...found one, and it matched Jade perfectly. It was originally long sleeved, but my wonderful sewer friend Barbara changed it for us...Thanks Barb! 


The day was filled with family and friends and love. Ate delicious food at the clubhouse and baby finally got a nap when the celebration was almost through ;)


First Sunday back to church in June due to Mom's illness and Dad's back surgery :) Almost made it through, had to leave a little early :) 




Pooh Chair! Thanks Aunt Sandy!




Baby girls hair has always stuck straight up! Especially after baths....


Daddy holding Jadelyn after 2 month shots :( She's always got her eye on Momma! 



Just wanted to cuddle...fast asleep...poor baby, did so well though! She was fine after the first evening. Slept pretty well that night and was 100% the next day....

"I love the Twenty-fouuuuurth of July!"


Ready for a day in Park City shopping with the girls!!



Family Pic!!!


Two words: GLOW WORM!!! 
My friend told me a little while ago that she starts using this when her kids are 3-4months old when they nap/bedtime to associate it with sleeping. She doesn't get to play with it out of her crib. This is the day I gave it to her and she loved it! 


You press on it's belly and it lights up and sings for 5 minutes as it lulls baby to sleep. I wish I could create something like this! People are so smart. We love "Glowie"... We work really hard to establish a sleep schedule over here so we all don't go crazy, if you haven't noticed. This has definitely helped! 


Oh my goodness. Even though being a first time Mom has its challenges, I've learned so much! I LOVE babies. Its been so much fun to experience being a Mom with Jadelyn. She is such a sweetheart, I mean look at this pic! I love babies!


Sitting with Mom on the porch! Bright sun! 


Love her smiles...

Happy 30th & 3 Months




Happy 30th Babe!

Josh turned 30 on August 1st. Yes I know I am late, but I put this as a draft and then forgot to post it...oopsy. Oh well its for the records anyway. For Joshua's Bday we went to Chuck a Rama with my family...




And to Goodwood with Josh's Fam! Then to Kaylene's after for cake and ice cream for the boys!...Baby O turned 1! These two boys are so much alike in their looks from when they were both newborn. No wonder they share a birthday now. We love the Crandall and Pace family! So much fun celebrating and always with delicious food!



Ty Ty loves uncle Josh! He always asks about him when he is not around and loves to play and mess around! I guess he thinks Josh is silly cause he gets a huge smile on his face and starts chasing, taking him by the hand or jumps on him hahaha.

This describes their relationship...Ty loves to play with Uncle Josh!
Love my sistas and niece...I seriously couldn't live without my family. I love that we are a  family full of fun girls and a boy too! And beautiful as well. They are my best friends and I love them dearly.

Baby girl sleeping...Her eyelids always turn a light pinkish color when she sleeps. So sweet. 


These two ladies share a birthday as well! Why is it that when you share a birthday you both have to look like each other? No wonder I don't have anyone born on my bday cause my whole family is BLONDIES! Maybe Baby Kingston???? 

My niece is as gorgeous as the day she was born! And my sister Cumorah is one of the most caring and thoughtful people I know.

Kingston Fam...plus baby to come in Sept/Oct!

Daddy's Girl- only dark ones in the family. So glad I wasn't the milk man's baby. 

Birthday Boy...Love his smile.

Gma's girl..loves her tongue!





Jadelyn- 3 months old!


Love my little family!!!

This was from a few weeks ago but I forgot to post it!!!!
