Turn of the Paige

Most parents worry over how their oldest child will receive a new baby.  Just as we did.  Kayla had been interested with babies anyway, she played with a baby doll we got her for her birthday really well.  She loved feeding her baby, putting her to sleep, and flinging her around.  Ok, so it didn’t [...]

Now, what has happened in my little girls life since a last posted.. almost a YEAR ago?  My last published post was in September, and the most immediate thing after that was her two year birthday.  Since she’s shown to be our little artist, we threw her an Art themed party.  We did some crafts [...]

Probably a few months before Kayla was 18 months we started requesting crayons when we went out to eat with the kids menu to keep her occupied.  At first she was like any other toddler confronted with a new toy. She put them in her mouth a lot. We’d scribble with her and she’d copy [...]

It’s been awhile since I posted something, and this time it’s not just because I had forgotten or didn’t have the time.  This time we were hit with some news that truthfully, for a while I didn’t know how to even begin writing about.  Not long after finding out I was pregnant, Kayla devoloped a [...]

Marshall and I use a playcare at a small outdoor mall in an overall nice area, with a great movie theater nearby, and lots of good restaurants. It’s great because we’re still close by while we go out for the night, all the “baby huggers” as they’re called are certified in CPR, Kayla gets some [...]

Ever since Kayla started to show any sort of personality, we realized it was going to be interesting.   She was, and is, no quiet baby when she decided on something that she wants.   She is smart, lovable, sweet, shy, stubborn, fun, and something I’ve come to notice, strange. As you might have noticed, [...]

Kayla is officially a toddler now.  Ever since christmas she has really ramped up, and she’s walking faster and falling less everyday.  She had a bit of a set back last week with an ear infection that made her look more like a drunken sailor, but the doctor cleared that problem right up. Since she [...]

It’s officially 2011!  The last year has really flown by for me, and it’s been a really great year.  I’ve watched my sweet, quiet baby girl turn into this very charming, menace of a toddler.  She has definitely kept me on my toes the last year.  Whenever you think you’ve finally got a handle on [...]

Let me start this off by saying that I had some major plans for Christmas.  I bought stockings for the whole family, I actually busted out the Christmas decorations (which is something I haven’t done in years), we had a small tree to place the presents under, and I even bought a small ham to [...]

As one of the cousin’s birthday gifts from their loving Gmama, she got us a photo shoot with Mary Cyrus Photography.  She’s not only Marshall’s best friend’s wife, but also the wonder behind the camera from Kayla’s 3 month photos. So, while our photo session had to be split up into two separate ones because of [...]
