| Paisley sporting her thinking glasses. She loved them. |
As soon as we got back Chris went out to sea and back to reality we were. Before we left Paisley wanted to play with all of her toys, you could tell by her eyes but she just couldn't put together that if she used her hands she could do it. By the time we got back She was all over her toys and grabbing at things including my face and pinching my neck and putting her hand in my mouth as I talked to her. This being very amusing to her. It's like a lightbulb switched on when we were home or it could of been all the stimulation for other people she saw while we were home. I don't think Chris or I held her until it was time for her to go to bed.

It was also time for her to go in the bathtub. Her small bath that we set on the counter by the sink in the bathroom just wasn't cutting it anymore and for my small stature she was too heavy to lift out of and bring her safely to the towel because of how high it was and how pathetically short I am. Come on now, was I adopted or what? So I went out and bought an elmo no slide pad for the bottom of the tub and a little thing for her to lay on that raised up in the back to keep her head up. I put her in it the next night after I bleached the tub and made it sparkling for her. She was very unsure of what was going on but wasn't upset by it. She's very interested and I try kicking her feet and splashing but she's still in the figuring things out mode.
Thanks to my wonderful parents they sent us home with a video camera so every little thing I've been videotaping now even though we could do that with our camera this is much more effective and I can keep taping as long as I want and not have to worry about filling the memory card quite as quickly. I had Paisley on the floor, video camera in hand and recording, hoping she would roll over, she kept rolling to her side and wanted too but it ended up being a bust. I wrote Chris an email about it and I received one back informing me I was not allowed to do that anymore until he got home because he wanted to be there too when she rolled over for the first time. So I haven't put her on the floor since. hehe
Her 4 month appt. was when she turned 4 months on the 12th. She was 15lbs and 8oz's and 25.5 inches long. She was perfect. We had the same nurse and Dr. as her 2 month and there still in awe at how easy going and happy she is. They say she's perfect. She got her shots and cried for all of two seconds like last time.
I did a bit of christmas shopping online for Chris since he's away I figure they'd arrive before he got home and I could wrap them and have him done before thanksgiving. Well so far 3/4 of it have shown up and hoping the rest of it shows up tomorrow. Very excited with what I got and the bargain shopping I did. As well as getting money back for what I bought because I went through ebates. yippee! Still not sure what we're doing for Thanksgiving and the last email I got he wanted to go on a cruise. I can't count how many different things I've looked up to do but i'm done looking. We can have a nice dinner at our place as a family, I already bought the bird just in case we couldn't figure out what to do. So we're covered.
and last but not least. The wrapping up of what's been going on. I've finished steam cleaning the house. Hurray! I just couldn't stand it anymore everytime it rains or the sprinklers go off at night and the sun hasn't hit the back yard yet the dogs track it all over the house and stains the carpet. Well stains no more. I'm pretty sure I shampooed and went over the living room carpet 5-7 times I lost count after 4. It looks awesome. I rearranged the computer room but now quite sure if I like it yet and rearranged the living room which was a big deal when we first moved in and could only find one way to put the furniture that we liked. Well, I've seem to have found another. It needed to be rearranged to fit our christmas tree and by George I think I've got it. Hopefully Chris will like it when he gets home. So now that the carpets are done and the furniture's in place I can focus on cleaning the rest of the house and catching up on laundry which is one load but it needs to be done. Well, I believe that's about it for catching up on what's going on out here in Cali. Finally time for bed!
