may happenings

so once we got home from walt disney world last month, paisley had a a new sense of movement. i think tristan gave her lessons when i wasn't looking, she now stands up using anything and everything and she officially made her first mess with things stored under/next too my desk. she was very happy with herself as you can see.

several times in may we went to one of the many local parks and let paisley have a ride in the swings. she loves them! these pictures are from memorial day, she loves to reach out for chris. she looks like such a big girl in the swing all by herself, she is growing up too fast already!

we have a bunch of family birthdays in may and june, one of them was robin's (chris's dad) it happened to fall on a saturday so we took their boat out for spin around the bay. the first half of the trip wasn't super fun-paisley really didn't like the life jacket-it was too big for her, and cut off her cheeks, also it was a nice sunny day and rather pleasant on ground, but add wind and cold ocean water and all the sudden it is pretty chilly. so, not so fun, but then we docked at anthony's (a restaurant right on the bay that has a dock right on-so fun!)and got some fish tacos, and shrimp cocktails.

we sat in the sun on the boardwalk and enjoyed the yummy food. on the way back paisley fell asleep while we were checking out some other boats by the dock and surprisingly stayed a sleep for the bumpy boat ride back to the car. the second half was a lot more fun, although i am not sure i would recommend a baby on a boat ride, not as fun for them. (notice how paisley feel asleep with her little face smashed between the life jacket-so cute!)

here are some random pics, paisley is a cute paisley print dress, showing off her big girl skills with a sippy cup-yeah shes talented. also, her discovering the bookcase-fun, and yes i did dust it as soon as i saw this picture-our hall doesn't have very good light and i never realized how dusty it had gotten. lastly, her sleeping-i just love those chubby cheeks!

lately paisley has been putting everything in her mouth, and then leaving it there while she goes about her business, it is pretty funny. she also loves to munch on carrots as you can see.



maybe she does this to help ease the pain of these suckers coming in:


these pictures were taken several weeks ago, you should see these teeth now-four on top and two on bottom--it is crazy! she looks different with little teeth poking out.

ps--it looks like we might be in a house by the end of summer, we have a lot to do, but i will post more on it soon!
