Future Hunter

Dad took Paisley out for an antelope scouting trip this week, here are some pics of the future hunter (if she wants to, of course!).

I like to think of this one as "Raise the Roof!"

Stretch it out.

New Parents Bath Time

Paisley is getting used to having bath time a couple of nights a week, but we are still a wreck every time. "Is this too much soap?""Is the water too cold?""Is the water too hot?"

Well a funny thing happened last time, I thought I would share it with you.  We were of course going through all the normal questions and arguing if we thought the water was too warm or cold, when I look over and Tom is rummaging through the utensil drawer for something.  He pulls out his ELECTRIC MEAT THERMOMETER and sticks it in the bath water to see what the temperature was reading.  I could not believe that he used it, but I guess that was his man's solution to the problem.

After he took the temperature, we then started arguing about what temperature the water should be reading for a baby's bath.  The dilemma continues in the Witkop house...

Paisley Pics

Here are more pics of our precious Paisley.  These are some of our favorites from week 2.

We all survived our first bath.  WHEW!  That was stressful....and slippery :)

Chillin' with mom.

This is our favorite thing that Paisley does right now- she is mid-stretch.  This makes us laugh, even at 3 AM!

Snuggle time with dad.

"I am this big!"
This is her first sleeper that actually fits...kinda

Paisley Florence Grace Witkop

Here are some photos that my sister was awesome enough to take and make into announcements for us.  Paisley Florence Grace Witkop came into this world at 1:36pm on August 1, 2011.  She weighed 6 lbs 11.6 oz and was 20 inches long.  After one week, she is already up to her birthweight again and will sleep about 4 hours between feedings at night (fingers crossed that this will continue). 

She already has her dad and mom wrapped around her little fingers, and has made a big impression on her canine sisters.

Things are going well for both mom and baby as we continue to heal.  We appreciate all the well-wishes and prayers for us as we continue through this life-long adventure. 

More pictures to come soon.
