Chappell of Love: Paisley is 8 Months Old!

My sweet girl is 8 months old. Every month I am more amazed with this little blessing. I always wanted a daughter and you have made me so happy Paisley. I cherish the time I have with you while you are so small. I hate to see you grow so fast, yet you fascinate me every day with all the new things you pick up on. According to our home scale you weigh . That is probably not the most accurate, but it will do for now.

This month you celebrated two things with your big brother. His first birthday and his Easter Egg hunt at school. You wore your adorable Easter bow I bought you and I couldn't believe it. Most of the picture I have of you lately with a bow on are only because I put it on your head and snap away very quickly. I cannot get you to keep a bow on for more than about two minutes. I am hoping that you outgrow this very quickly. I LOVE your sweet little bows.

This is your new favorite toy. It is the only thing I have ever been able to put you in and you not cry after five minutes. You love to bounce up and down. You will stay in this as long as I am in sight and if I venture too far you get upset. Then there is usually no recovering from that so I wind up having to take you out. HA!

Your daddy was very proud at Lucas' birthday party. He picked this dress out for you the night before at the store and made sure that everyone there knew it. He loves you so so much.

Your brother insisted on having his picture made with you in the big birthday chair. You have two very proud brothers Miss Priss. They are not the least bit embarrassed to talk baby talk to you. Blake doesn't care about being cool when you are around in front of his friends. You are extremely adored...

You playing with your cousins Colton and Grace. I cannot wait to see how the three of you interact as you get older. Although we all want you to stay tiny as long as possible.

Peter Cottontail came to visit you for the very first time. You got a cup and snack bowl, some bath toys, your first bikini, some onesies, a purse teether, and some peeps.

You might take after me just a little already. Your daddy helped you hunt some eggs and you were very proud every time you found one. You would hold it high and smile and squeal.

The dress you wore on Easter may be the most precious outfit I have seen you in yet. You looked gorgeous and so very sweet.

Bath time is your favorite time of the day. We do it in the sink and the tub. You splash and splash until you start to get cold. Even then, when I take you out you cry every single time. I am hoping that this means you will like the pool this summer.

Nap time is a must for you. If you do not have enough sleep you let the world know it. This makes for some difficult days sometimes though. You are a light sleeper and fight sleep like no other.

The park is a favorite of yours still. As long as you are outside you are so happy.

We started puffs and yogurt bites. You love them. Usually when I cook dinner I am feeding you these to keep you occupied...

You love to play all sorts of games. It is so funny because you make them all up yourself. You will stare at your daddy and when he looks at you you hide your face until he looks away. Then do it over and over again. You laugh so hard!
