Paige's 4 month dr visit

We went to the doctors for her 4 month check-up. Here are her stats:

13lbs 7oz
24 1/2 inches long

But she has a small head.

She did pretty well. Until of course, she got her shots. 2 in each leg and an oral one too. She screamed for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours (Not constant- she slept for some of it). But then she was right back to her normal smiley self.

Plus she has thrush in her mouth and on her bottom. So we have a round of Nystatin for her mouth and for her bottom. I am also having to put some cream on me too so we don't pass the infection between us.

So that was our not so eventful, yet eventful day.

The real EASTER Story

A few weeks ago, Justin & I were visiting his Grandma at her ranch in Watsonville. She has had this really cool old car just parked in her garage for about 20 years. We always wondered what she was going to do with it. So Justin decided to ask her. Well it just so happened that a few people were interested in buying it so she was thinking about selling. We said, well if you are going to see it, we would love for you to consider selling to us first. That way it will stay in the family. So she thought about it and decided that was perfect. She also mentioned that it must be a God thing since we asked her right at the perfect time. But God just kept on showing us how much he wanted us to have the car.

Justin was originally going to go get this next weekend, but Grandma & Chrissy were worried about someone stealing it (And he was a little on the obsessed side). He woke me up yesterday (Saturday) morning around 7am (Yes, the one day the baby and I were actually sleeping in until 8am) and had this crazy idea about renting a truck so he could go get this car. I told him he was crazy and went back to sleep. When I woke up, I thought it through and we starting looking for ways to get it. We couldn't rent a truck because it didn't have a tow package and it seemed like none of our friends were available. But by the afternoon, our neighbor Glen was available.

Then they went to Uhaul to rent the trailer, but when they got there the trailer they had was not the right size for the car. The Uhaul guy was calling other locations, but not having much luck. Justin was close to breaking. Right then, a guy that had moved his stuff from Virginia, happened to be returning the right size trailer (Again- God Thing). So the neighbor, Justin and our friend Mike made the journey to Watsonville. It took a little while to fill the tires (Only three would fill up) and get it on the trailer. They did it with just enough daylight to see.

They got back around 9:30 PM, unloaded and then decided to wash it (apparently, there was a lot of bird poop).

This morning, Justin was out there by 8am and neighbors were crawling out of their houses. Several of them were helping him wash this car. He is so excited. Next step- making it run.

By the way- It is a 1956 Mercury Montclair.

Paige's First Easter

I will begin this post by saying that I wasn't going to buy Paige an Easter basket. I just did not see the point. But when I was at Wal-Mart with my mom on Friday, she convinced me to buy this one. It is larger than the baby (And so is the bunny I think).

Easter has been a great day. I will tell more about last night and this morning in the next post. For now, I will just talk about part of the day. My grandparents, George & Doris are visiting from Mass. We all went to church (We were going to go to Santa Cruz for church but that did not work out) and then we had a wonderful Easter dinner. We went for a nice walk and it was a great day. Paige has been a little cranky, but I think she is teething and is very gassy so she must not be too comfortable. See some pictures below.

March Update

I know I have not been good at updating this, but we have been busy. My Nana and Aunt Kathy were visiting. I went back to work a few weeks ago (always challenging), then I was sick and Justin got food poisining (We think). So it has been hard to keep posted. Paige is doing good. She will be 4 months on Sunday. I will update after her doctors appt. Here are some recent pictures of her.

She loves the exersaucer her Aunt Mikaila bought her.

Paige Rolls OVer

Paige rolled over for the first time today. Justin & I were not there to witness it since we were working, but she loved it so much she rolled over several times. I was able to catch this video when I went to pick her up.
