Ball Catcher!

Paisley has been working and working and can finally catch a ball! She is so proud of herself.

"You so proud of me!?!"

Can't you just hear the squeals??? Love it!

Paisley's Thoughts

Paisley and Rodney just looked through all 570 pictures on my phone. She was very interested and could pick out all the Christmas pictures from the past, as well as telling Rodney where we were in almost every single picture. The girl doesn't forget a thing, I tell ya! They were talking about fall and winter and how much we love those seasons... pumpkins, leaves, trick-or-treating, Christmas, presents, Paisley's 3rd birthday, and so on.

Paisley's thoughts...
"In the winter I wear a coat and hat because it be cold, brrr!"
"Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to Paisley! I get presents!"
"Ooooo the house be so pretty at Christmas."
"Me not eat pumpkins, that be silly!"

Love the innocence of a 2 1/2 year old!!!! 

Life is so simple to her!

Fun with Family

Just kidding! That's not our family...just our cute little "monkey butt" baby, Beckett!!!!!!

I couldn't resist!

Mom, Paisley, and I visited Aunt Mary Lou (my grandad's sister) just a few days before Beckett arrived. She really enjoyed seeing Paisley. Now to get Beckett to see her sometime very soon!

Grams, Bob, Teresa, and Chuck came for a visit Friday evening. Paisley really enjoyed showing "Bobby" all of her toys and giving him all kinds of directions!!! Yummm to the peach pie and homemade blackberry ice cream we enjoyed last night, and some more today!!

My Uncle Bob, Aunt Sandy, and Jake came Friday evening also.

Paisley and Jake had SO much fun!

Play-Doh fun!

Jake showing off the tooth he lost! His first one!!!!

Nana and Pop came too!!! Busy night showing off a beautiful baby!

So many uses for a slinky!

Who knew laundry baskets could be soooo much fun!?!

A quick, awkward good-bye hug! 

Those cousins don't get to see each other nearly enough. 

Can't wait for the next visit!

Nana and Pop can't come without presents. :) Beckett got some cute new clothes, a hat, and his very own "Lily"...a dog (Skippit) blanket by Bunnies By the Bay. You know how we love our Lily Mae and Friends!!!! I'm glad Nana loves to shop!

Paisley thought Pop needed to take a nap with her blankets and friends. 

Hard to take a nap with a 2 1/2 year old sitting on your belly!

Rodney's Uncle Richard and Aunt Rena came for a quick visit on their way to the lake Saturday morning.

So blessed with the visits from family and friends this weekend. More to come the rest of the day!!

And now a few more of our 2 little rascals!

"I'll give you your paci, Beckett."

Big Foot and the One Eyed look....hilarious!!!

Lookin' SO big and alert!

Paisley enjoying some "tummy time" also.

Beckett obviously wasn't too happy about it. :( We'll get there!

Big Sister + Little Brother = ~L~O~V~E~

Just pictures this post...hope you enjoyed!

To Dr. Nassim (pediatrician) Friday at 9:30. I'll do an update tomorrow about that appt.

A Relaxing Evening

Paisley is all about helping so far...

especially when she can steal a kiss from Mommy!!! :)

Snuggled up tight in his own bed!

Oh my goodness!

Sweet and cuddly!

Love, love, love being home and soaking up the relaxing moments of just being a family.

The Last Few Pictures From the NICU

Probably my favorite picture of Mr. Beckett yet!!!

Close second

And the award for our favorite nurse goes to....Kimberly!!!! Couldn't ask for anyone better!

My last check-in at the NICU requesting permission to see my baby. Thank goodness!!

Some quality Daddy time before heading home.

A shot of the NICU set-up and Beckett's "home" for his first 20 days. Then getting dressed to go!!

 

 

Paisley waited patiently with Nana and Pop in the waiting room for "her Beckett" to come out! 

Thank goodness for the ice machine and little cups!

FINALLY!!!!!!

Loaded up in Mamaw Jones' (Rodney's mom) car since the Jeep is being worked on. Grrrr Bales!

What an unbelievable feeling to be home as a family!
