Hunger Games

For the first time since my freshman year in high school I actually read a book that doesn't have to do with pregnancy or Autism. I use to hate reading. I even tried to read the Twilight series and I just couldn't get past the first page. The Hunger Games is amazing, I couldn't put the book down. Paisley's bath time went from 20-30 minutes to 45+ minutes. The night I finished the book I had a dream I was training for the games haha I woke up laughing.

I never understood people that would wait at the book store for hours waiting for the next book to be released, or the people that would go to a midnight showing and dress up as a character. But now I do, haha. I am so excited for the movie to come out, I have been counting down the days. Although, I am still not going to go to the midnight showing (that's not my think, I have a record for falling asleep in the previews). I figured Ryan and I will go when all of the teeny boppers are in school the next day.

Paisley Has A New Love

Many of you have seen the video of Paisley and her reaction the the song "You Lie" by The Band Perry. Well, she now has a new love. The other day we were watching the Today Show and Paisley was starting to get a little fussy. The new boy band "One Direction" came on the television. She then turned her head towards the T.V. and started to quiet down. I sat her on the floor and she crawled right over to get a closer look. I couldn't stop laughing so of course I took a video of it.

Working Out SUCKS

I have been trying to lose weight for a while now and it is so hard. I lost 7 pounds and then I put it right back on, just like that. I have been really good about watching what I am putting in my mouth and I have also stepped up my exercising. I take Paisley on either a walk or a jog every night/morning with the exceptions of Mondays and Tuesdays (Ryan's days off). The other day I ran 2.10 miles without stopping (I have never done that before). Then today I took an hour spin class and only got off my bike once to fill up my water bottle. I just don't understand why it is so hard for me to lose weight. Why does it have to be so dang hard. I just want the easy way out and get lipo or something.

I use to love being in pictures (not in a vain way) and goofing around with friends and now I HATE having my picture taken and being in large groups of people. I am now the person behind the camera instead of in the pictures. I think Paisley and I only have a handful of pictures together and if she is in the picture with me it is just of our faces or I am putting her in front of my body.

Sorry, I just had to vent I guess with having a crappy day and getting sick yet again it's all just weighing on me. I'm not writing this so people can respond nice things to me. I just don't understand what else I can do. It's so frustrating.

Another Sneak Peak

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!

Where Have All Of The Binkies Gone?

I can never find a binky when I need one the most and this is why. Paisley has been throwing them behind her bed. 

9 Month Sneak Peek

This past week Paisley and I went out to Overton to get her 9 month pictures done by Korindi. Korindi is really good about posting a sneak peek of the photo shoot. I literally sit by my phone/computer from the minute I leave her house refreshing my facebook waiting to see what picture she is going to post. This time there were THREE! I love the work Korindi does, she is AMAZING!

I can't wait to see the rest!

Party Naked

Paisley hates to get her diaper changed. The minute you lay her down she screams. Sometimes I have to put her diaper on while she is standing up. It's obvious who is in control in this situation :). Sometimes I let her catch some fresh air and this last time I couldn't help but to snap a picture of it.

365 Days With You Week 9

OOOPS

Paisley left not one, not two, but three surprises in the bathtub last night. It was actually really weird because I was thinking to myself "I'm so happy Paisley has never pooped in the tub". Then about 5 minutes later I heard a fart and I looked at her and then I saw a green/brown cloud come out behind her. Was she reading my mind??? I then drained the tub and filled it back up. About 3 minutes after that she did it again. This time I couldn't help but to laugh because right after she did it she turned herself around to watch the water go down the drain, as if she knew I was going to drain the water. At that point I felt like she did it on purpose because of how much she likes to play with the water going down the drain. So once again I drained the tub. By now Paisley had been in the bath for about 15 minutes. I typically let her take a bath for 20-30 minutes because she enjoys it so much. I was debating on just taking her out but I decided to fill it up again, hoping that she had released everything. NOPE... She pooped again. What the heck! Was the water that warm that she had to poop three times in the tub? At that point I was done with empting it and refilling it so I took her out.

Silly little girl

9 MONTHS OLD

I couldn't get her to smile for the life of me

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? 9 months old... Where has the time gone? I feel like she was just getting her 6 months pictures done and next week she will be getting her 9 months done. I love this stage that Paisley is in right now; if I could freeze time this would be it.

Paisley is now.....

~Still doesn't have any teeth

~Still LOVES bananas

~Loves playing peek-a-boo and patty cake

~Sits on her knees and plays with her toys

~ Reaches for me when other people are holding her (not in a bad way, she will let anyone hold her, she just knows how much fun I am. She mainly does this when I am just getting home from work) :)

~Takes 2-3 naps a day

~Goes to bed around 6:30 or sometimes 7:30 (if she doesn't take her third nap)

~Wakes up at 7:30 on the dot everyday

~ Still pretty much only says dada. She does the baby babble which makes me laugh.
