Goodnight.....FINIALLY Sleep Tight!

Michaela is finially sleeping through the night again! For the past SEVERAL months, she has been waking up 3 and four times a night, for a snack and to play. Of course, I have been gettign up with her, despite what people keep telling me and of course it's become a habbit! So last Monday, I started the tough love theory on her. We kept the normal bath and story routine, followed by rocking to almost sleep, and then putting her in the crib. But when she woke up, I didn't give her a bottle, I just gave her a pacifier and did my best to put her to sleep. It was a tough week (by the way, people SWORE it would only take 3 nights!) but last night she made it from 8:30 until 9 this morning! I woke up all night thinking something was wrong, but instead, it was RIGHT! Yeah for my little angle!!! Obviously I don't have apicture of her sleeping all night, but what is a post without a little visual aid? So here are just a few pictures......

I am sending this to AFV!!!

Just a fun day at home

Friday was an interesting day at the Fife household. Michaela has started to crawl FORWARD finially and we were also watching Moses for the week. Not the best combo..... So Michaela would go as fast as she possible could chasing the poor dog, and about every three or four crawls, she would biff it on her little face. So my beautiful baby has rig burn on her forhead and nose..... ANYWAY, I had to resort to putting Michaela in the Pack and Play, or the Jump-a-roo in order to keep her away from Moses, but she got tired of being in it I guess. Here is a picture of how I finially wrestled her into the Jump-a-roo. Check out that look of defiance.....

After the the first day of actual crawling, and a lot of it at that, Michaela was VERY TIRED. When I put her into bed though, she wasn't having it so I let her whine for about 5 min before I went in to check on her. Here is how I found her fast alseep! Gotta love her!

Fun Videos

I bought Michaela a baby einstein sing a long book and as you can see.... she loves it! I think we read it 17 times last night!

Here is a video of my dear husband eating a brussel sprout. I think they are good :) He on the other hand.... well, see for yourself!

And this was the weekend we went to Boise, Michaela had SO MUCH FUN in the pool!

Samantha turns 24!

Okay I am a little late in posting this,(just a week) but last weekend we (meaning Jon, Marti, Shawnie and Jordan, Michaela and I) packed up the car and drove the 11 hours to Boise to deliver a mattress to Dustin and Amber. They drove up from Provo and we stayed in a hotel and swam for hours! Michaela was so funny, she seriously swam for about three hours and loved it. We celebrated my birthday at my FAVORITE restaurant, Golden Corral. Yes, that really is my favorite....! Anyway, it was cool to see the Utah Fife's, little Corban is getting so big! Anyway, below are some of the highlights.

Michaela LOVES to Shower!

Michaela loves to take a shower! I usually put her in with me and take my shower, then while I get ready,(ie, toothbrush, haircomb....essentials) she just plays in the water! It's great! She loves to drink the water as it comes out of the spout thingie. We have a handicap shower head so it reaches all the way down to her tummy and she just giggles as the water hits her belly button! I love this girl!

New baby!

I am an Aunt! My sister Savannah had her baby yesterday morning. SO CUTE! After 19 min of labor, she was born, 6 lbs, 13 oz 18 in long. So much hair! I don't understand why some babies are born bald...(Michaela...) and some are born with so much beautiful brown hair! Anyway, her name is Reagan Eleanor Winn and I love her! I love being an Aunt. Here are some pictures of the little gal.......
