life as we know it

First, I have to start off by saying MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I can't believe how long it's been since I've blogged. Life is so full, so busy, so fun! I'm not really sure where to begin.. but I will start off by saying that Zachs brother Jordan and his wife Abigail moved back to Washington. They moved back last week, and we have spent almost every day with them. We love them and are so excited to have them back!

We had an awesome Christmas this year. Our weekend was jam packed with family, food, mimosas, games, presents, pictures, laughter, and friends. Zach and I just kept looking at each other smiling, so thankful for such an awesome family. We are so blessed.

Of course, it was Paisleys first Christmas, and that was extra special for us! She wasn't too into opening presents, but she did like to try and eat the tissue and wrapping paper. She also turned 10 months old yesterday! 10 months?! I still can't believe it. I was just telling my mom this morning, "This is THE BEST age." (I'm not gonna lie, I say that EVERY month.. :) She is just so sweet.
She is really into giving hugs, especially to her baby dolls.

She loves her soft blankets, and Ugly Dolls and Bla Bla's, because she can lay her head down on them and "hug" them.

She is soo cuddly, it melts my heart.

She is still typically pretty quiet, but when she starts "talking" she doesn't stop, and knows how to get louder than the loudest person in the room.

She has 4 teeth.

She sleeps 12-13 hours at night with two naps during the day {it tooks us 8 months to get there, I NEVER thought I'd say that, so I hope that is encouraging to some moms out there}

She says DADA, MAMA, HI, UP

LOVES to wave.. all the time!

Loves people, loves to be passed around from person to person

She is just an all around joy to be around and we are so thankful for her!

Last, but, certainly not least.. WE'RE MOVING!! TO FIFE!!

She is just such a cutie! And, what an awesome little sleeper! Please tell me your tricks :) We are still struggling with nap time, Georgie will only sleep for about 30-40 minutes at a time during the day...

Oh man, I wish I had tips because I would be using them on my next child A LOT earlier on!!!! :) The only thing that I DID do was stop swaddling her when she was about 6 1/2 months, and she got a lot better at sleeping, especially at night. Other than that, she kind of just figured it out and we had to break a few habits by letting her cry it out a few times, too.
