Meeting Some Family

I can not believe our little one is already 11 days old. In some ways it seems like she should be older (it has been a LONG 11 days) and in some it seems like she is growing too fast already! I guess I am just hard to please haha. The doctor did originally say no visitors for at least 2 1/2 months, but then the day Paige left the hospital that doctor (a different one than the one who had been treating her the time she was there) said two months was a little excessive and that she can have some visitors just no big crowds and to make sure anyone who touches her is clean. Well, Jared and I took middle ground. We are not taking her anywhere, or really introducing her to most of our families until later (when exactally we are not sure). But my Dad and brothers drove up from CA last night to pick up my Mom, and Jared and I figured it would be alright if they met Paige.

The little boys were in awe. They would pet Paige's head like a little tiny dog haha. I guess thats all they can compare a baby to since they have never really been around one.
Grandpa (CaliPa or Pop, those are his three names) and Paige! He just loves her!
Now its time to meet her uncles! => The 'cool teenager' uncle Trey.
Kaden is such a little poser => But it seems like our daughter is too haha
The brunettes of the family. haha Cam was such a natural holding her! It was impressive.
Cole on the other hand needed some guidance. It was funny to see his reaction to holding Paige, as well as her reaction to his kisses. He is laughing because he kissed her and she made a funny face.
Today Gram (Gigi) and Pa came over to meet their little great-grandaughter. Paige had been awake and active all morning and about five minutes before Gram and Pa got here she fell asleep. Deep asleep. So she was out when they came over and there was no waking her up. haha
But they still showed her they loved her. And next time they see her they can see her beautiful big eyes.
A four generation picture! Hopefully this summer we can all get together for a five generation picture! How fun would that be?!


I have just LOVED having my family over to meet the newest member! And I really want the rest of my family to meet her, but I think we are going to take a break from introducing for a while. We want to see how Paige reacts to this group of newbies, and see what the doctor says on tuesday (her next doctors appt). Hopefully she will handle this marvelously and she will be super healthy at the doctors appt so we can worry less when we introduce her to the next group of new family! If it were up to me I would have taken her to the family party today (Lindsey's little girl's birthday party) and introduced her to everyone then, but I know that would not have been smart. I have to keep reminding myself that "slow and steady wins the race" haha But eventually Paige will be strong, healthy and old enough for all our family to meet her and even play with her! Oh I am so excited for that! =>

How do your parents like being new grandparents? It is a life changing event changing you and Jared into mom and dad but also your parents into grandma and grandpa. When will Aunt Karen and Uncle Drew be introed?
