in no particular order...

Lots of pictures! I really should put these up more regularly as I take them so I don't have so many on one post all the time.. I'll work on it. ;)


Haylie likes sleeping on her belly on our chest and sometimes will wake herself up if I lay her down on her back to nap during the day. The day I took this picture, I really needed a break from holding her so I laid her down on her bobby pillow just how she lays on us and she slept for such a long time! Doesn't she look so comfy and relaxed? Too bad you're supposed to have babies sleep on their backs, I think she really enjoys sleeping on her tummy!



Just a quick snapshot during one of our many diaper changes throughout the day.

This is from this past sunday. Haylie wore an adorable brown dress and cute headband to Stake Conference! She was looking so cute! Thanks to her cousin, Shelby, for letting her borrow it and a bunch of other adorable clothes! :)



Smiling some more! I love that gummy grin. :)



Snoozing in her bouncer while I got ready.




This is Haylie's sleeping setup. She loves watching her teddy bear mobile!
Thanks to her Aunt Holli for the awesome swaddling blankets! She is wrapped up in one every night!




Haylie's first bottle!
I started pumping to see if Haylie would take a bottle so we could leave her with family while we visit Utah and Haylie did great with it! Jake and I should be able to go to the temple and out on a date together!




Sometimes Haylie will take a binki. She's quite selective in when she'll allow it. ;)



This was another church outfit. Her tights don't quite fit just yet but they keep her legs warm!
Haylie is 5 weeks old now! I can't believe she's over a month old. She changes and grows everyday! She seems to be interacting more each day. She's sleeping pretty well-some nights are certainly better than others.
Jake and I are doing well, also. (Maybe some people are still interested in how we are doing) ;) We are adjusting to this whole new parenting thing and realizing how different our lives are now! Haylie has been such a blessing to have in our family. We are so excited to teach her the gospel and hope that we can be good examples to her.

She is so cute, and I am so happy to hear that you guys are adjusting so well. You had asked earlier what I miss about my baby being a new born..... Well I realized the other day (Sophie is 4 and a half months old.)that I had been tring so hard to keep the house clean, making dinner on time.....etc... that I missed out on holding Sophie. Now she is at that age where She doesn't want to be held so much, and I missed out... So that is my advise.Hold her as much as she wants, she wont want it for long.

Also, it is so funny looking at your pictures I have the same bouncer, and many of the same outfits as you!
P.S. sorry about the long post. :)

So cute! some of them remind me of Mya. She had to sleep on her tummy too- she still does! She startles herself on her back. So fun to see the pics! You look amazing!
