Our Flamingo

Paige is doing so many cute things! At our Cinco de Mayo party we put her in Colin's swing. She lit up! She loved it! You can see in the picture she was pretty happy. I happened to catch her waving too.
You should see Colin with her. He loves Paige. He was trying to feed her at the party. Which of course she was more than happy to taste test. After a while I was worried that too much of the food might upset her stomach. Colin wasn't very keen on the idea of not getting to share his food. He was pretty persistent about it but he finally gave up after a while. He is so sweet with her!
Adam can balance Paige in one hand and hold her up straight out to his side. It is her favorite thing to do. She gets the biggest grin on her face. She is so confident she will balance on one foot like a flamingo. I love her sense of humor, she brings us so much happiness.

New Things

I have been trying to teach Paige some new things. We have been playing Patty Cake, Peek-A-Boo, and a few other things. When I clap when we are playing Patty Cake she can't stop blinking or flinching. It's so funny and cute! I have a hard time blinking if there is a loud or repetitive noise, and it looks like she does too. I love learning new things about her personality and who she is. Love you baby girl!

Kisses

I love it when babies give kisses. It's usually followed by s stream of slobber, but it's so cute. Paige has been stingy on kisses for a while, especially with Dad because of his scratchy face. So, yesterday we worked on kisses. I would make an O with my mouth and put it on her cheek and make a noise similar to, "ooowwwaaaa". I had Paige giggling pretty good. She thought it was funny and wanted to do it too. So now she is on a kissing rampage. We are all a little bit slobbery but it's worth it for the kisses we get!

Goopy Girl!

I took some pictures of Paige today and wanted to post them. Our family has been hit with allergies, asthma ect...and you can probably see that her poor little eye is all goopy. She's still adorable, goopy eye or not!

I love this hat. My grandpa use to wear hats just like this one, excluding the bow of course. I know grandpa would of loved seeing her in it! I can just see them in their hats playing in the dirt together in the garden. Miss you Grandpa!

Bye Bye!

Paige is waving goodbye! Although she is a little stubborn sometimes and doesn't want to. She is also rolling all over the house. We are going to have to get a gate soon. Today she rolled from the living room to the kitchen where some cheerios were on the floor. She was pretty happy with herself eating her snack. She will be crawling before we know it, and I will be scrambling to baby proof the house...YIKES!

I know, I have heard all the huge flower jokes already.
I really don't like that binky, it's ugly, but it's her favorite!
I love how much they love eachother!

Soccer Girl

Today both the boys has a soccer game. The weather was horrible. It was so windy our chairs were knocking over and garbage was flying everywhere. Paige fell asleep at Brysen's game. Then we came home so Jake could change clothes, and we were off again. Paige was front and center for Jake's game. Everyone gushes over her. It's pretty cute. Reggie, our old neighbor stole her for a while. He has 5 boys so he loves getting to hold Paige. It' a wonderful feeling when others, outside of your family, love your children.
She has been looking so big! I have had her in 12 month pants. I bought a cute jacket at Old Navy and she looks so much older than she is. She is growing so fast. I will have to get recent picture up soon. Love you baby girl!

Happy Girl

Tonight we went and grabbed a few things from Lowe's and Sam's Club. When we got home Heidi called to see if I wanted to go on a walk. I grabbed Paige and Heidi grabbed Mallory and we were off. If you know Heidi, you know that she is in great shape, and....I am not! She was very nice and took it easy on me. I am not sure exactly how far we walked but I believe we walked over 2 miles in an hour. which is 2miles less than Heidi's normal walk.
Paige was so good the whole time. I thought for sure she was going to drift off to sleep right away, but she hung in and enjoyed the walk. I can't gush enough over what a sweet girl she is. She is almost always happy. When we were at IKEA today she was just happy to be there, and never fussed. OK I know she's not perfect, but I was so worried about having a girl. I know we have far to go, but I have heard how hard girls are and I guess I thought things would be tough from the get go! I know, I know ,talk to me in a year and we will see how I feel then! Love you baby girl...
