So I haven't updated in a long time but with the holidays things have been busy.
In the last week or 2 Phynley has really started to react to things. She will follow things with her eyes and look around when she hears mine and Stephen's voices. She becomes fixated on lights. She loves looking out the window and looking at the christmas tree lights. Here are a few cute videos of her growing up *sniff*
Phynley likes to pose in her sleep.. We have caught a few of these poses on camera. I just love to watch her sleep sometimes. I wonder what she is dreaming about. She gets little smirks on her face and smiles (mom says it's just colic... ). Here are some pictures
Last Saturday we were up in Heber making gingerbread houses. It is a yearly tradition that my family does. Every year I make a gingerbread house with some type of theme. I have done a peppermint palace, all white "winter wonderland" house, red and green, all green.. etc. My mom has done some really fun houses too. One year she did the love shack (valentine's candy), The Nut House, and a few others. I decided since we had baby girl this year that I would make a princess house. I couldn't find a small cute princess to go in the front, but my mom was able to find a cute pink baby bottle candy. Here are the pics of the finished product.
It's always cute to see what the little kids do for their houses. This year gingerhouse day fell on the same saturday as the Utah and BYU rivalry game. Grace decided to make a BYU house and Tyson put a big U on his. Super cute. :) Sid kept coming up and telling me how much she loved my house. She loves to play dress up and be a princess. So I think this little house was fitting for her. I have to put my thinking cap on for an idea for next year.... any thoughts?
Well, in honor of miss Phynley being born one month ago tomorrow, I am going to try to catch up on a few of the cute things that have happened since she was born. This one just happened yesterday.
We were up at Coby and Katie's house last weekend making gingerbread houses. Katie asked me if I wanted to borrow a few warm suits and receiving blankets for a while. I said sure we can always use more receiving blankets and warm stuff. Phynley got 2 suits at the baby shower but neither of them fit her yet, basically they drown her right now. I am sure by january that will change. We were going to take Phynley to Grammy's for a visit so Mommy and Daddy could clean up the house a bit. I thought, "well it's cold, so I will try on one of those suits so she doesn't have to have 5 blankets on." I laid her in it and it was within about 30 seconds of the initial cry that she had fallen asleep in the suit. She loves to be warm. Her cute little hands don't fit in the arms so she looked like a penguin... super cute :)
Not very happy in this next one...
