welcome back

wow. christmas break was awesome and i have so much to journal about. so here goes on getting caught up on our crazy life. first things first, paisley has discovered a new toy: her thumb. now she enjoys sucking on it( how her little baby thumb is satisfying to suck i will never know) and her binky-great! the only down side is her poor little chin. it is all red and bumpy most of the time because there is constant slobber on it-oh well, her overall cuteness definitely makes up for that.

paisley loves hanging out with her in-town grandparents. she does a variety of activities with them as shown here:

paisley opened her very first christmas present ever-a book from uncle chris and aunt skeeter-chris read it to her. grandma jensen also read some dr. seuss with her. clearly, paisley will be just like a jensen and love to read.

lastly, we have discovered that our little miss is (sad to say) a couch potato! the girl loves to watch tv! she will twist and wiggle however she needs to to be able to see that screen. she loves catching up on oprah with me and football with daddy. (don't mind my awesome green sweats and pink flip flop slippers-hey, i can't be glamorous all the time) also we have gone to two movies recently, bed time stories and the curious case of benjamin button-both of which we enjoyed and paisley did too. she will usually sleep though part of it, but then she will happily sit on one of our laps and watch the screen. i sure hope its ok that at 3 1/2 months old she has already seen a pg-13 movie, probably not come to think of it.....dang we are slacker parents. do you think the images will effect her negatively?? can she even see that far yet?? i hope not, i just want to protect her from the media of the world for as long as possible. it will be hard with some of the movies out there that look dang good, we need a clear play a-sap.
