Easter Weekend

It is Wednesday evening and I'm still on a high from this weekend.

On Friday Aspen turned TWO MONTHS old! Somehow that happened. Also, she has gotten even cuter than the last time I blogged. Somehow that happened too! 


She now loves to stretch out her little hands! 

Friday she got her two month shots. I was really worried about that and I figured that she wouldn't be herself for the next few days but I was wrong! She cried really hard when they gave her the shots but I calmed her down quickly and that was the end of the shot trauma! She was totally sweet over the whole weekend. 

Friday she also met her Papa Ballard and most of her Hatch family for the first time! Living so far away has been hard these last few years, but even more so since Aspen entered our lives. Her family has been dying to meet her these past two months. 

Saturday was spent doing some shopping, some park hopping, and some cuddling with the little sweetie pants.

Sunday Caleb gave Aspen her baby blessing. Afterwards we all crammed into our house and ate crepes while giving the princess more loves. My mom brought my blessing dress that my Grandma Pulver sewed for me and Aspen was able to wear it for the day. I'm thrilled to have been able to use it! My Grandma is such a talented seamstress!





We also got some family pictures throughout the weekend which are pretty cute as well. 









Our little Aspen has brought us so much joy and it was good to spread that joy around with family this weekend. :)

Sunshine and Daisies

My baby girl is almost 8 weeks old! I can't believe that much time has passed sine she arrived. I thought I'd share a few pics of how she's changed so far! So, let's rewind to day 1.

So tiny and helpless and perfect, right? :)

At week 1 she was opening her eyes much more often.


Week 2


Week 3


Week 4

Those checks are filling out :) 

Week 5


Week 6

Week 7


And today which would be 7 weeks 3 days




She's starting to interact more with Caleb and I. It's fun to play with her, see her smile, and hear her little noises! I love showing her off! :) 

***** I have to be real here and mention that being a mommy is freaking hard and sometimes it flat out sucks... but for today let's pretend that everything is all sunshine and daisies! :)
