Zachary, Rachel, and Paisley: July 2012

So this post is a little late, but its better late then never!

Paisley is now 8 months. I cant believe how fast it has gone by. She still has no teeth, but today I finally felt them. They are sticking out a little!! She also is a huge crawler. She is moving around a ton and loves to pull out all of our dvds and cds. She never stops moving. But it is so fun to see her grow and new things that she enjoys. She also can stand up and will push off of you and balance for about 30 seconds all by herself!! She does this all of the time, and we are convinced she is going to be an early walker. She is also talking a lot more. She says dadadadadadadada. She doesnt know it means "dada" but its fun to listen to her go, because once she goes, she just doesnt stop. We have also gotten a little better on sleeping. She has slept through the night a few times, and now is mostly just getting up once. If I go in and just give her a bottle she will fall back asleep. We do need to work on that, but I decided to choose one battle at a time. ( I feel like this is going to be something I will be doing even as she is a teenager ;) ) She is so fun, and loves to smile. She also loves swimming and daddy, mommy, and paisley go swimming almost everyday. We also just bought her a little floater thing that she can sit in all by herself in the water. She is also doing very well on solids. She doesnt like baby food as much because big people food apparently tastes so much better. But she really isnt too picky. Paisley also loves animals and will chase a dog or cat any chance she gets. She is so entertaining and we just love her to pieces!

Zachary is still working hard at Tucanos. He is such a hard worker, and I am so grateful for him. He starts school at the end of August and I think he is excited to get started.

This summer my mom and sister came out to visit for 2 weeks. It was so fun to have them here, and I was so sad to see them go. It was so nice to have them around and paisley sure loved it to. We traveled to Rexburg and back, and then the next weekend to Utah. Paisley was a trooper and did as well as she possibly could have done.
