Having A Ball!!!

We bought Paige a ball pit for Christmas and Adam just recently got the others balls that we had out of storage. They needed to be cleaned so he threw them in the tub and washed them. Well, when I went to give Paige a bath I decided, why not? She had a blast playing and was not very happy when I wouldn't let her back in after she was dressed. The other pics are of her helping dad before we painted and in her dress up clothes that Aunt Karri brought her over.

Cheeser!

Paige was such a joy at the boys' basketball games...just imagine the sarcasm in my voice. At Brysen's games she would run out on the court and try to take all the balls off of the ball rack. Everyone else thought it was cute, but she was a handful! Jake's games were in a bigger gym so it wasn't so bad. Brysen's last game she was being a nut. She keeps doing a cheese face when I take her picture. We have never taught her 'cheese' so I am not sure where it came from. I suspect it might be because of the flash.

Dishin' It Out!

Paige loves her dishes! She loves to cart them all over the house. Last night she was feeding Me and Adam some yummy imaginary food. It cracks me up that she has started this so early. She was carrying a lid around in her mouth last nightand making all kinds of goofy faces. She thought it was pretty funny to make us laugh....she's a hoot!

Holiday Hubub

Paige is doing so many cute things since my last post. We call her Godzilla or Ram-Paige sometimes. She is very strong willed, but so much fun at the same time. I feel like we are starting from scratch with a lot of things...she changes EVERYTHING! Time outs in our house are pretty much a joke. She sits by the boys when they are in trouble. If they don't make room for her on the time out bench she screams at them. I tried having them sit at the table, but she just climbs up there now. As you can see she thinks it's pretty funny. Gotta love the crazy hair and drool!




She is constantly hungry! I can't keep her tank full for anything. I gave her some carrots and set the rest on the table next to her. She wolfed them down and decided she needed more and didn't want to wait for mom to help.


Christmas was a lot funner this year. She got all kids of girly stuff. She plays with her play dishes, tea set and play food the most. She likes to tote her babies around as well. I think she will be a good combo of girly but not too prissy. Having two older brothers will help with that!

I Wanna Hold Your Hand.....

Paige insists on holding my hand all the time. Mostly when we are out in public and she might feel out of her element. If I try to let go she flops herself on the ground in a monstrous fit. When I offer my hand back the world is set right.
She is such a funny combination of fiercely independent and uncertainty.
She goes right up to people and will also just take off and wonder around. So the times that she is clinging to my leg or insisting on holding tight to my hand seems funny to me. Although it can make things difficult, I try to enjoy it while it lasts.
When it comes down to it, I love that she needs and wants me so close.

Monster Crush

Paige has never been into watching TV. Much to my dismay. Not that I want her plastered to it, but it can a great distraction when you need a few minutes.
I recently recorded Monsters Inc. and she LOVES it! It is so funny to see her watch it. She laughs and gets excited or just plain stares at the TV. She especially any scenes that include Boo.
Now I can unload the dishwasher without a little helper....thanks goodness!

All Bundled Up!

Here is Paige at the Real Salt Lake game. She was so layered up with clothes she could barely move. If she fell over she couldn't get back up. It was pretty funny. I forgot I was able to get these pictures before my camera died. She was so good besides getting tired at the end. I hope she likes sports because she's stuck with them just like me!
