2 Months

 During our visit to Utah/Idaho little Jay got to meet all of her cousins! Little Maddie has been so excited about meeting Jay since she found out I was pregnant with her and it is adorable, she was so excited to hold her! Oldest and youngest of the bunch, so sweet!
 After Auntie Dana's long wait, she and Jay finally met! 
I love how the older girls love little Jay! To them she's almost like a real little doll! Everyone enjoyed getting snuggles in!
Snuggles with Auntie Laikin
Mom and Dad went out for a little fun in Idaho! 
Momma and Baby at Grandma Cindy's house
Back in AZ we had a few visitors come to meet the wee one! Jaemi and Jaymi meet at last! 
Despite the warmth outside, having a fireplace, once fall hit I couldn't resist building a fire and snuggling up with a cup of hot chocolate!
Happy Halloween!!!! Little Jay dressed up as a monkey, Isn't she a doll?
I couldn't stop myself! I mean how cute is this? My little pumpkin!
How lucky are we? November and we are out for a walk in the sunshine, beautiful Arizona
We love visiting Daddy at work, just helping Dad make the schedule!

I absolutely can not believe how quickly this little girl is growing up! She is becoming so much more engaged with the people around her and her surroundings! And look at those chubby thighs! I love them!

Here are a few more adorable shots of her during her 2nd month of life! :)



We love our little Jay-Bird!

Family Pictures by Noelle Murray

While up north for the baby blessing we ventured to beautiful Rexburg to visit my sister Noelle and get our first family pictures taken and boy did they turn out amazing! Thanks Noelle, I could not be happier with them!
Baby girl and Daddy playing before pictures!
Daddy didn't waste any time, she was barely a month old and he was being rough already
 So sweet
 One of my favorites, look at those pretty sparkly little eyes! 
Even though it looks beautiful in the pictures, it was freezing outside! We had to constantly warm her little hands and feet up! 
 My beautiful family!!!
 Little munchie

 I love those toes!
 Mama and Baby Jay
 Look how beautiful this little meadow is, the way the light it hitting the grass! Thanks again Noelle for the gorgeous pictures!

A Beautiful Blessing Day

October 14, 2012 we had the opportunity to bless the beautiful little girl that has graced us with her amazing presence! It was such a sweet experience to listen to Ren bless his little girl, I was such a proud wife and mother in that special moment. 
We had many wonderful family and friends come to support our sweet little one. Look at all those good looking people! (Side note: Thank you so much Lauren for hosting the shindig for us in your beautiful home! You are a wonderful host!)
My beautiful family! Jay-bird was a little tired after all the chaos but she was such a good girl and didn't make mom's nightmare come true by screaming through her entire blessing! 

Me and my little angel! (Another side note: Look at her beautiful blessing dress! Thank you to me amazing mom for making it! It was the prettiest little thing I have ever seen! Could not have been happier!)
The best examples of mothers that I have in my life! My beautiful sisters and Mom! I am very lucky to have them!
4 generations: Great Grandma Showell, Grandma Jensen, Me and Baby Jay!
So much fun to be reunited with my best friends from high school! Absolutely loved seeing them!!
My sister Noelle captured her in her beautiful dress looking so peaceful! I Love her in this picture!

1 month

My sweet little girl is one month old! What? I absolutely can not believe how quickly time passes! No child understands it when their parent tells them to stop growing until they have a child of their own! I really really need little Jay to stop growing!
Sweet girl right before being discharged from the hospital! Daddy insisted on her wearing her Jordan get up! She looked pretty cute!
 Welcome home baby Jaymison! Grandma Jensen decorated the house to celebrate her arrival
 Baby girl snuggling with Grandpa in her nursery for the first time
 Family galore came from Utah and Idaho to see the new babe! We were so incredibly blessed to have my mom stay with us for 2 weeks after Jay was born to help her daughter learn how to be a mom herself after which Ren's mom Cindy came to help out as well!  
 Family photo
 Baby girls first real bath! She did so well, not a single tear!
 Snuggles with Daddy, Jay has had him wrapped around her finger since day 1!
 While my parents were still in town we ventured out to dinner to celebrate Rendo's 25th birthday! Even though his birthday will always follow Jay's by 2 days we wanted to make sure he felt special too! 
 Party with friends and of course Ren's favorite, ice cream cake to celebrate!
Jay bird had quite the eventful first doctors appointment! After noticing a bump on her clavicle, naturally I panicked....at her first appointment we came to find out that she had fractured it when she was born! Sad sad day! But....she is a tough little one and it never even phased her!
Mom and baby Jay posing for a picture to send to Dad! 2 weeks after she was born Ren had to leave for manager meetings! Luckily his mom was there to keep us company during his absence! 
It wasn't until I was a  sophomore in high school that I took my first flight! Jay definitely didn't follow in her mom's footsteps down that path since her first flight was a mere 3 weeks after she was born! Cindy, Jay and I ventured to Utah/ Idaho for Jay's baby blessing! She was WONDERFUL! Didn't make a single peep! 

My sweet little girl had a wonderful first month of life! She is absolutely the sweetest baby that exists and she has made the transition into motherhood quite enjoyable! I could not ask for a better baby and I can not seem to get enough of her and her yumminess! Luckiest mom in the world! Here are a few pictures of her throughout her first month for all to enjoy!
