All American Girl

My dad (now known as Bishop Caldwell-congrats dad) pointed out to me that Swedyn is a Red, White & Blue girl. Redish hair, white skin, & blue eyes. She is just so dang cute. I love her perfect skin, her little puggish nose, big bright eyes, perfect kissable lips, and her oh so happy smile.

She's a Heartbreaker...

If these pictures dont break your heart I dont know what can...

Swedyn HATES, and I mean HATES her car seat. If she is put in the car seat and is not sleeping she screams. It is so sad and it is really the only time she crys.

I was riding in the back with her trying to calm her down, trying to give her a paci ( which she will not take ), rubbing her cheeks, talking to her and finally she fell asleep which resulted in these heartbreaking pictures. She has tears stuck to her eyelashes.

Swedyn is 2 months!

These last 2 months have gone by so fast, and have been nothing but wonderful. Being a mother is the best thing in the world. Swedyn is such a good baby ( except in her car seat, she hates it ) she is getting so big and she is much more interactive now. Here is a few things she has done in the last month.

2 Month Shot Advice.. Please Help!

Swedyn is going in for her 2 month app. next week, which means time to start shots. I really need advice on what to do. Scott and I dont want to give her all her shots all at once, and want to space them out, she is too tiny to have so many. I have heard some people wait till the baby is 2 yrs of age to even start them. ???

If you are a mother, what have you done for your babies?

Swedyn Loves when Grams carries her around like this, she is one spoiled little girl, she does not like to be put down unless it is in her bouncer or her swing, other than that she wants to be held and kissed non stop.

This week we were able to spend a few days in the valley visiting Scotts family and seeing some freinds that havent seen Swedyn. It was so nice to have the whole family over for Sunday dinner, Swedyn was able to meet all her cousins. She is going to have fun when she is able to play with all of them.

Scotts 1st coyote. Preston and Scott went on a full day of coyote hunting, these boys came back saying it was the best day of their lives ( geez thanks Scott )

Swedyn 6 weeks.

This is what diaper changes consist of....SMILES.... For some reason she loves her diaper changed and smiles and trys to talk the whole time. She is getting so big already and smiles and responds more and more every day. Those little cheeks are getting chubbier and chubbier. Her hair changes from red, to brown depending on the lighting, in these pictures her hair looks really red.

My freind Felicia Farr Jensen came home for Christmas and it was fun to get our little ones together, Felicia and I have grown up together with our parents being good freinds and we have many pictures of us growing up together, now we can have pictures of our kids growing up together. We miss you little Judd, dont grow up to fast.

Scott loves his little girl, he is such a good dad. I love to watch him interact with her.

I love those lips

My Angel...

Thank you Becca ( http://www.polkadotsngiggles.blogspot.com/ ) for taking her pictures, I am in LOVE with them.

Here Comes the Bride...

Cordae and Preston are getting MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes my little sister is engaged as of December 22. We are excited to welcome Preston Stradling into our family. They are a perfect couple and meant for each other, even though Preston is from St. Johns, we still like him.

Swedyn is 1 month old today... time sure does fly. She is getting chubbier and growing every day. We love having her in our family, even at night we still love her when she doesnt want to go to bed till 1 or 2. She has been a good baby so far, she doesnt cry much only when she is frusterated with eating, we are still both learning it seems like. 1 month has gone by so fast, it seems I was just at the hospital having her.

Swedyn Punkin Love is 2 weeks

I love this little girl.. I try to take pictures of her when she is awake and alert, which is hardy ever, she sleeps ALL day.. She sure is fun to have and I want to brag and show her off non stop. ( those perfect little lips are to die for )

zzzzzZZZZ

Swedyn always has to have her hands out of the blanket when she sleeps. I am thinking this is how she was in my belly, she loves to sleep like this.
