Maggie did get an early Christmas present. 

Caesar is pissed that there aren't any presents for him under the tree. 

Going to Kansas City...

Paisley and I went to Kansas City over the weekend to spend some time with my dad, and also to give Charles some time to himself to study for finals. I wish there were sound effects for this picture, since both of them were snoring loudly.

She's always happy in the morning

I'm not the only one that misses Daddy when he's gone all day.

Caesar likes to sit on my lap and help while I'm
at the computer. Generally he bangs on the
keyboard while I'm typing.

What the hell is wrong with Kansas?

Trump or Monkey?

Petunia & Paisley = BFF

*Disclaimer*

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck just had a baby girl whom they named Violet. For the record, Violet was one of our name choices, and if we have another girl some day, that will probably be her name. So in case that happens, I am stating now that we are not naming our child after Bennifer 2's child.

Cats

Caesar has enjoyed climbing in the
Christmas tree ever since he was a kitten.

And we wonder how the couch gets so hairy...

Curls!!!

Cuddling with Maddox

Nuditity!!

2 month birthday

We went to the doctor today for Paisley's 2 month checkup. She weighs in at 11 pounds, 13 ounces, which is the 75th percentile. She's 23 3/4 inches, which is still the 90th percentile. The doc says she's doing well, and remarked on how well she's holding her head up. Here she is in her darling holiday outfit from Aunt Bev, happy and unsuspecting of what lays ahead for her.

Getting bundled up, cuz baby it's cold outside. Sorry, cheesy.

Getting her shots, which had to be the saddest thing I've ever seen. I've never heard her scream like that, and Charles and I were both blinking back tears. I think the nurse thought we were a little loony, but it's heartbreaking to see your child in pain.

3 bandaids. She should have gotten 4 shots, but they were out of 1 so I have to take her back next week. I'm not looking forward to that.

After screaming, she immediately passed out, and slept through grocery shopping, the 25 minute drive home, and stayed asleep in her carrier at home, which she's only done one other time. I woke her up to eat, but she passed out again in her cradle. She then passed out again on our bed, in this picture, and is now sleeping on mama. She screams if I put her down. Poor baby, I feel so awful for her.

Charles says that this pose is similar to the ones his classmates make. 

Charles is missing out on all the fun

Dress

We received this gorgeous dress in the mail yesterday from Julianne and David, Charles' bro and wife. Julianne made it for Paisley-how cool is that? It's beautiful, and it will be perfect for her to get her pictures taken in. Thank you! We'll make Paisley sit down and write a thank you card soon.

Thank you Aunt Cake

Paisley's Grandma Karen, to whom she bears
a striking resemblance.


I said that she had Bartholomew lips from before
she was born (or rather Lee lips?). I also see
where she got all the hair.


It's strange that she takes after Charles so much,
since the Walker genes seem to be very
prevalent. My niece and nephew look just like
their father, my brother, and not much like their
mother at all. I don't mind that Paisley looks
like daddy, after all, I think he's pretty cute.
