8 Months!


Aislin is 8 months today! She is such a joy to have in our lives.
I feel like I have never laughed so much. She is such a funny girl.
She now weighs 19lbs!
She is working on crawling, but she just isn't that interested.

In other news, Jordan's youngest sister, Lorraine stayed with us on her layover from Russia to Oregon. We are so glad Aislin was able to meet her.


We can't wait to come to your wedding in August Lorraine!

New Tricks!



Aislin has decided that she is a puppy! She likes
to pant and growl.
This is just a glimpse into her fun personality.
Aislin, you crack me up, chica!

Baby Steals


If you don't know about them already....
Baby Steals is a cool site that gives you a steal on awesome maternity and kid stuff at a fraction of the normal retail cost. Every morning at 9am MST, babysteals.com has a new steal. You have to be quick, because a lot of the stuff they list is so cool it sells out fast! I have gotten several products, including Baby Legs and a That Baby cd/dvd combo. Anyway, check them out. Above is a picture of Aislin wearing a pair of her Baby Legs.

Easter 2009!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter! I know we did.



Aislin was excited to see what the Easter Bunny had brought her. Mostly she liked to play with the grass and suck on her Giraffe Easter egg.

She got new Baby Legs, and two new books! Jordan and I have helped her with her candy.

After Church, I made steak medallions, roasted carrots and potatoes, and steamed broccoli for our lunch/dinner. Afterward, we were all tired and took a 2 hour nap. We decided to go for a walk since the weather was so nice. Aislin loves her stroller. She likes to look around at everything. Plus, she laughs at Harley a lot while we are walking; and since he likes to be out in front, she gets to watch him sniffing around.


While we were walking we stopped and let Aislin experience grass for the first time.

She was not sure about it at first.

She ended up deciding that it wasn't for her just yet. She started to get upset. She did find it fascinating though, because when I put her back in her stroller, she was leaning over the side staring at the grass. She did this the rest of the way home.


When we were a couple blocks from the house, I hit a curb and Aislin hit her face on the tray, so Jordan carried her the rest of the way. Harley was huffing and puffing at this point, so I put him in the stroller. He seemed to enjoy feeling the wind on his face. The cute lazy mutt!


We hope everyone had a great Easter! We are especially grateful for our Savior at this time of year, when we remember the incredible sacrifice He made for us.

A Sensitive Palate.

Here is Aislin having her very first experience with food.


Do you think she wants more?
I think we'll wait a bit longer to try again...
I offered her some more a little later, and she was not into it.

7 Months!

Aislin turned 7 Months on Sunday!
She is quite the little talker. She loves to just babble, and she laughs all the time at everything and nothing. She is such a happy girl, and her joy is contagious.
She loves watching her Baby Einstein Videos....and Mommy can actually get a shower when she's watching them...
Aislin can only roll onto her tummy from her back if she is leaning back on a pillow.
She says "Mama" ALL the time... and has no trouble expressing her very strong opinions.
She ate some rice cereal for the first time yesterday... video coming soon.
We love her so much and look forward to continuing to watch her learn and grow.
