Have you hugged a penguin today?

Under it all

Under it all: Long sleeve onesie and a pair of tights. Oh and I had to put shoes on under the feet, in order to keep the feet on!

A little blurry.

Paisley had a wee bit of an attitude this morning, would smile for Joel.

And one more!

She's very eager to feed herself. Always grabs the spoon right before it goes in the mouth, and stuffs it in herself.... not as neatly as mom or dad would, but she gets it in.

Paisley enjoyed her sweet potatoes this week.

Story time

Paisley loves story time. No matter how cranky she is, as soon as you sit with her and a book she's happy (and then starts to eat the book), but she enjoys story time each evening, which is usually Daddy time.

57 days til Christmas!

That's right, only 57 days, time to get organized. This year we are making all of our gifts (at least at this point). So I've been busy getting them started, hopefully I can get them all done.

Less than two weeks, we are headed to Vancouver to introduce Paisley to a lot of my family members. She has many aunts, uncles and cousins anxious to meet her. There will be many firsts for Paisley, including her first airplane ride.

Pictures of food to come, still haven't connected the card to the computer. But in the mean time we have some oldies we can post.

So we've been slacking in the blogging department.

This week was a big week for Paisley. On Monday she got her first tooth and rolled over. On Tuesday she sat on her own for almost 5 minutes, and today she had her first food. It was finally time. She had started eating every 1-2 hours, and waking a lot at night. So hopefully it helps. Well, I can tell it already has. I'm thinking I might actually get some sleep tonight. Last night I only got 2 hours... and that was broken into 4 short segments.

We took some food photos. Those will come later this week.

Photo shoot of Matt

Matt and I did a photo shoot on Monday in hopes to get a few decent shots before his show in Calgary on Thursday night. These are a few of my favourites.











If you want to hear Matt perform tomorrow evening, here are the details:

Paisley Fix

Here's a Paisley fix for the grandparents for today.

Fantastic Weekend

This last weekend was the annual Calgary Classic. Which is a paper crafting event for us Alberta girls (there are also events in Edmonton and Olds every years as well). I had such a great time, and got lots of visiting with my online friends, as well as lots of inspiration. I got my paper crafting mojo back! This is my second year in attendance, as well as the 2nd year its been run. It's lots of fun, there's challenges, swaps, door prizes, make and takes and all sorts of fun and exciting events. ALthough my time at the actual event was more limited this year, due to Paisley's schedule, I had a blast.

First off, the ladies that welcomed me to their table when I arrived on Friday (I think I was only invited because Paisley was with me at the time ;)). Deb, Linda and Geri (I sat near Deb and Geri last year as well): Not the best pictures, I didn't bring my camera out til I was about to leave, and just snapped them quickly.



There were so many talented ladies there. Here are some of the swaps I received (once again, terrible pictures, as I waited til 10 pm to take them:











And here are a few of my creations on the weekend:





I had one other card that I swapped out that was a flower, but I gave them all away.... so none to take a picture of. But I do plan to recreate it.

Anyway, great weekend for me. Paisley stayed with Josh and Grandma and Grandpa Schroeder. Saturday she wasn't a very happy camper, and wouldn't eat much, but Sunday went much better. Sunday evening we got to FEAST at Great Grandma (Gigi) and Grandpa Ritz's before heading back home.
