She rolled over!

Yes. She rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time. It was quite exciting and I think she even surprised herself. Needless to say we've tried to get her to do it again and it hasn't happened yet so maybe it was a fluke. Also if you notice that her outfit looks like it came straight out of the 70's, you're right. I wore this outfit when I was her age. Too cute!!

This is just a random picture, but most mornings when we get her out of her crib this is what we see. We have a thumb sucker on our hands and it is absolutely adorable. She also has the unique ability to bury herself under blankets so you can hear her sucking away on her thumb before you even lift the blankets. Hopefully we can break her of this habit when she becomes older but for now, I think its so cute and she usually only does it in the mornings.

Southern Utah Deer Hunt.

We spent this years deer hunt in southern Utah for Kyle's deer tag. Though the weather was perfect and the scenery beautiful, we did not see much deer that were worthy of our freezer. It was a nice get away and Taytum got to spend two days with Grandma and Grandpa Paxman so I could go. I sure love having them so close by.

One thing I love about camping is I usually get to kick up my heels and let the men folk cook. Now this is the life.

Travis and Kyle cooking a delicious morsel of sausage and eggs.

They spent forever staring and tormenting these ants and their ant hill.

Gotta love the hunter orange

The Handsome Hunter!

Silly headbands!!!

So I was driving to work one day with my sweet angel in the back seat. Now Taytum seems to enjoy her car seat and rarely fusses on our drive to work -except for this one day. The whole 10 minutes of the 15 minute drive she is letting me know that she is not happy; but I'm driving so obviously there's not much that I can do. I arrive at work and go to get her out and this is why she's fussing. I thought it was so funny I just had to take a picture. Silly headband wasn't cooperating.

Blessing Day!!

Getting Ready.

Dad helping me do up the buttons in her cute white, puffy dress.

Looking too cute.

I was successful in catching this spit up but just as we got her buckled into her car seat and was headed out the door, she let loose and yes had to have spit up down the front of her the rest of the day.

Our cute little family.

She is just too cute. I just love her so much!!

Looking absolutely bored of all the picture taking.

Kennedy, Jacey, Luke, and Taytum
I wish I would have had pictures with all of her cousins because they all love her so much but it was kind of a crazy, happy day.

Kyle gave such a beautiful blessing to his daughter and I am so lucky that he is ours for eternity

Hiking, Glassing and Sleeping. Oh my!

As you can see, after a long wait and much needed break. We sported our hiking boots and headed for the mountain for Labor day weekend. My sister graciously took our little one into her home for two nights and we spent some quality time together doing the things we love most.

We also spent some time looking for bulls and saw quite a few. Kyle is actually currently out there with his nephew helping him with his elk hunt. Hopefully they can come home successful. Here we are checking out a few bulls.

Not a monster but a nice looking bull that we got real close too.

I forgot to take a picture of our brand new tent that is huge and incredibly nice. Not to mention all the sleep I got this weekend, not having to get up a couple times throughout the night. We even got in a nap or two during the afternoons. I love sleep. Though I will admit that at seven weeks our little Taytum started sleeping through the night. On average she has been sleeping from 9:00 p.m to 5:30 a.m. I can live with that.

Taytum Update

Wow! Taytum looks so little here. I guess this would be considered our first family picture. As I was looking back at our pictures, I realized that Kyle and I were never in any of the photos together except for this one taken a couple of weeks ago.

This was Taytum's first time going to church. She wasn't being very cooperative so this is all we got. She is so cute in her polka dotted dress.

Compared to her last bath picture, she is now enjoying her bath a lot more. We have since moved on to a little tub instead of the sink but bath time is much more enjoyable these days.

And here is our little Tayters smiling and cooing. She is getting to be so talkative and I just love it when she talks and smiles at me when I walk in the room. I still can't believe how fast and big she is getting. I love the way she stretches when she's waking up and the way she always sneezes four or five times in a row. I love to kiss her cheeks that are filling out quickly and the way her eyes gets so big when her dad tries to eat her. I was lucky and had my camera ready and I just love this picture of her.

Two month statistics:

weight = 9 pounds 5 ounces (20%)
height = 21 and half inches (20%)

3 Weeks old already??

I can't believe its been 3 weeks already. Time has flown by and I can"t believe how much she has grown in such a little time. Life around the Paxman's house has definitely changed as we knew it would and we knew it would be quite the adjustment but she is precious and we just love her tons.

I love that her cheeks are starting to fill out.

I'm sad that this photo is blurry but I like it anyway.

Taytum's First Bath
She looks mildly content in the picture above but the next picture really depicts how she feels about bath time. She absolutely hates it and still screams everytime.

I love this picture, she looks so thoughtful. I just wish I knew what she was thinking.

Hey mom, stop taking pictures and catch my drool!

I love to lay on my Daddy's chest.
Poor Kyle's been under the weather and hasn't been feeling well. We spent a night in the ER and that wasn't fun but we've had some tests done at the hospital and hopefully that will show what's wrong so we can get him on the mend.

Just so cute.

The sleeping little angel.

Taytum has already blessed our home so much and she is loved by so many people. I love that she already holds her binkie in her mouth and that she has Kyle's forehead wrinkles. I love how she smiles when she's falling asleep and the fish face that she makes when you take away the bottle. We love you Taytum.

Her 2 week stats:
