Just hanging out

Well Lorin and I have just been enjoying being parents and watching Paisley grow. We love it! I can't believe how much she has changed already. I wish that I could slow it down. Paisley's favorite thing to do(other than eat) is to take a bath. I hear most babies don't enjoy this but she loves it. She just sits there looking around and happy as can be in the water. Today I decided that I would get her in the tub with me and kill two birds with one stone. Well she had a different idea. She loved it but just as I was about to have Lorin get her out of the tub she decided to fill up our bath water with poop. She is a pooping machine but I love her to death. I couldn't help but laugh. This is just a picture of Paisley hanging out on the couch with her daddy today.

Paisley's first photoshoot

Today Paisley had her newborn pictures taken. We had a little bit of a hard time getting her to cooperate sometimes. We stripped her down to get some cute pictures of her in her daddy's hands and she peed in his hands and all over the floor! Then she did her business in a bowl that we had layed her in for some pictures. What a mess! But it was so much fun. I can't wait to see how they all turned out. The girl that took her pictures posted a few of them for previewing on her blog. The web site is katieportraits.blogspot.com if anyone wants to check them out.

Happy Birthday Lorin!

Today is Lorin's 25th birthday so yesterday we had a little party for him with some of our family. Even though Lorin is turning 25 he is still just a kid at heart. At the party yesterday someone told me that the kids were outside and had turned the hose on to play in the water. So I went outside to see what was going on and I found that the kid who had turned the hose on was Lorin. He was soaking all of the other kids with the hose. Will he ever grow up? I hope not!

Baby Paisley has finally arrived!

Paisley Jo Mickelsen

Lorin was holding her up with one hand in this picture and I was sitting next to him freaking out!

Paisley Jo Mickelsen was born on April 1st (no joke) at 12:00 p.m! She weighed 6lb 2oz and was 18.5 inches long. Wow! What an experience. Lorin and I knew that we would love her but I don't think that we fully understood how much until we finally got to hold her in our arms. We have never been so happy in our entire lives and we don't know how we ever lived without her! We could just sit and stare at her all day. Here are some pictures of our little girl. I hope everyone enjoys them as much as we have.
