Lookin' good!!!

One of my favorite thing about Paisley is the abundance of hair she has!  I know some of you out there have kids with so much hair it makes Paisley still look pretty bald... but after talking to Kyle's sister... I should (and am) grateful that Paisley got my hair and not from Kyle's side!  We don't want a bald little 3 year old running around!  Paisley and I sit down every day and we do her hair... just like my mom did with me!  My favorite look on her is 2 pony tails, so she has that hair-do a lot!  But my mom had some fun ideas while she was here, and I loved that she got to do Paisley's hair since that was a story I heard so often growing up!


I know she is my kid so I think she is absolutely adorable... but come on... how can you not love that face??!!

Chew it Up!

I feel like  most of my posts are about Jaxton... and they probably are!  He is one crazy kid!  He "go go goes" NON-STOP!!  I used to call my mom all of the time and just cry, because I am so exhausted from him, and her response was always "Shan, he is just a little boy".
Kyle and I were in the process of decorating Paisley's room (which is A-DOR-ABLE by the way) and part of that process was touching up the paint.  Jaxton was of course running wild and Pais was right on his heels!  Next thing we know, he is on her crib and falls off.  We noticed a little bit of blood in his mouth and I assumed he bit his lip and carried him downstairs to snuggle till he felt better.  He opened his mouth and blood came pouring out!!  I started screaming for Kyle and once he got downstairs, he picked him up and we rushed out the door.  While getting the kids in the car, I called his Dr's office to see if I should take him the Instacare or the emergency room.  They said if he bit down on his tongue, like he had, the Emergency room would be able to more thoroughly treat him if something had gone wrong.  We waited in the waiting room for a long time, then we waited in the room for a long time... and then Jaxton wouldn't let the Dr look at it.  He became hysterical.  It took me holding his top half, Kyle holding his legs and the Dr trying to pry his mouth open for him to see that he hadn't gone all the way through the tongue.  He referred us to an ENT specialist and put Jaxton on a liquid diet until then.  When we went to see the specialist he said it should heal just fine but that we need to watch that no food gets lodged into it because the tongue heals so quickly that it could heal over it and that would be a problem.  So far nothing!!  It is healing great and looks much better.  I tried to photo document the worst of it!  He likes to show people his "owie"... and tell them "the Dr looked and helped him feel better"... but hey, whatever story he likes, works for me!  I can guarantee it won't be our last trip to the emergency room.

















My mom had come to help me the next day.  Which was such a blessing!  But while she was here she said "This kid seriously does not stop... I get why you are SO tired all of the time!"  Haha!  And she thought I was complaining about nothing!!
