Makin it!

I am so glad to say that we are making it! Hahah The beginning of this week was a killer. I got super sick. I got a temp of 103 and was crazy! I was fainting and doing some crazy stuff... then Belle got sick with a temp  of 104. But finally we are well and have been doing great. Hopefully this sickness will hopefully be our last for a while... we will see. I can't believe Paige is a month old already. It has been a long month but such a wonderful one as well! The kids have been earning money... Belle has gotten fixed on barbies for some reason. One of her friends has lots so she wants some sooo bad. So I told if you want it you earn it!! And boy has she been trying her hardest to do chores around the house, be out of the ordinary kind, share when she really does not want to, not throw fits when we have to come inside from playing, etc. Cash has gotten into this earning money as well- He wants a Buzz Lightyear toy. Don't tell Belle but he so far has made way more money!!! I love watching them fold their clothes, put them away, wash windows, clean side boards, take the trash out, etc. It has cracked me up to see how important it is to them!

This month we also have been going out much more! We got to see some cute baby animals! Belle was in love with a little white baby goat! I thought she wasn't going to leave it's side for bit.

And speaking of cute babies we have had a lot of time loving our Paige! Holy cow is this little girl sweet. She can make me smile so big even when I am sicker than a dog! She looks so much like my our kids but very different. Cash and Belle loved being left alone when they were babies. They slept so good by themselves. They seemed to have a stubborn personality the moment they came out. Paige on the other hand can't stand if I am not holding, touching, sleeping, etc. by her! I can't leave her very long with out her needing me right by  her. She snuggles so much. I will be laying next to her and she some how wiggles right up into my face.

We took her yesterday for her one month check up and she is doing great! She weighs 9 pounds and is 22 inches long now. She has gained a pound each these last 2 weeks! The doctor said she was so alert for how old she is. Paige smiles so much which should happen yet but she smiles!!!

Our whole family is in love with her. We can't quite get enough of her. She has Daddy wrapped around her finger. But so does the other kids as well. Monkey has had to be gone a lot for school and his millions of tests so any second he gets (which usually is late at night) I find him just holding her so close for a moment.

Cash even NOW can't get enough of her... finally! I think he has figured out Paige is going NO WHERE! So he spends as much time in her face saying, "Hello Miss Paige!!" He has turned into quite the protector! Anytime she cries Cash can't handle it. He begs me to help her. I have to be so careful to watch this little guy with her because he wants to hold her constantly!

My favorite time with the kids is after baths before bed... We all snuggle up and read books. Or the kids read books to Paige. I can tell Paige loves Belle and Cash... She smiles at Cash anytime he is in her face and tries to eat Belles nose and makes the cutest sounds when they are talking to her. Belle of course from the beginning has been so perfect with Paige. She really is her second Mom.

Even though this last month has been out of control- I wouldn't trade it for anything. I have come to love these three more than ever! I have seen them grow up a little more. It is hard for me to think how big they are getting. I almost wish they could stay as little as Paige... But then not!!! On to month 2. Paige is getting her baby blessing tomorrow and Chloris made her such a beautiful dress. I am so excited and so proud of these 3!!
