Little girl update

It seems like the little girls are growing like weeds these days. Last Friday, Anistyn turned 20 months, and paisley turned 6 weeks. I can't believe Paisley is 6 weeks! She is such a great baby. Starting about 2 weeks ago, she has started sleeping through the night (she goes to bed around 9:30 and wakes up between 5 and 6:30, then sleeps again until 8 or so.) I have been blessed with amazing sleepers- Anistyn was the same way. Paisley is still an amazing eater, and a very relaxed baby. Anistyn on the other hand.... She is a crazy energetic fire ball, who is always making us laugh. I wanted to document a little about the new things she has learned. 

*she is talking a ton. She asks for a bite if your eating something and she wants some.

*she asks for a cookie if she wants something to eat.

*she asks for her "cuppy" if she wants a drink.

*she says please and thank you.

*she loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse, and sings and dances to the songs, and does a few words in the show, like calling for "toodles" 

*shes obsessed with shoes, and always wants them on, even when she has feetie pjs on.

*she loves to hold her baby sister.

*she loves her "cousin" hallie, they are pretty cute together. They even face timed today, now Anistyn keeps asking to talk on the "pad"

*And my favorite, she folds her arms, says her own version of her prayers, and says amen. (this makes me feel like a proud mommy, and feel like I'm doing something right.) 

**we also did something else that has proven that our little girl is becoming a big girl. Anistyn has gone to bed with a bottle of milk since she stopped nursing. She has never been a big drinker of milk in her sippy cup (but loves water). On Sunday I put some milk in her cup during breakfast, with a little chocolate, and she drank it up! I decided to try putting her to bed with milk in her sippy, and it was successful. We were successful all Sunday and Monday. I was feeling so successful, that I decided to take the cup away all together. We decided we would give her some milk before bed, but not let her have the cup in bed. She decided she didn't want to drink milk before bed, but slept pretty well without it. The downside of this.... She was a MONSTER for a couple of days. She also wouldn't ever drink milk. It had me worried that she wasn't getting enough calcium. Luckily, we changed sippy cups and she has drank a ton of milk today. It's been a frustrating few days, definantly trying on both rob and I ( I feel like it was harder on us then it was on Anistyn ) I wanted to give in last night, and let her Have a bottle, but I'm glad we didn't. She has been a lot better today, and I'm glad we have broken the bottle habit. Next: the binky!!!

***thats all I can think of to write for now. Here are some pictures. 

Our little daredevil. 

Sleepy head

Such a beautiful little girl!

She has been smiling for a couple of weeks, but this was the first time I was able to get it on camera.

Maybe she isn't a byu fan....
