The past couple of months have brought on so many new changes...
Paige is growing up so fast! She is definitely becoming her very own little person. She has been so much fun lately! Not that she wasn't fun before, but she is just learning so fast and doing so many new things! Paige has been eating solid foods since Christmas. This is one of her very first experiences with pureed veggies. And by the way, she LOVES veggies! Which I am so thankful for, hopefully that means that she won't be a picky eater. Although, she didn't do very well at first with fruits. She just didn't care for them. I don't know if they were too sweet or what, but she eats everything now. She eats solid food three times a day: Mid-morning, late afternoon and then right before bed, this is in addition to nursing her every 3 hours. YES, at Paige's last Dr. visit the Dr. finally gave us the OK to stop feeding her every 2! (this was for her acid reflux) It has been so much easier on me, let me tell you... and they decreased her acid reflux dose down to just 2 doses a day now too. We are going back for her 9 month appointment and she is going to decrease it even more, which is great news!
We have been using the walker that my parents got Paige for Christmas
as a feeding chair for Paige, which worked great. See previous picture :)
(That walker serves so many different purposes!)
But, we needed to graduate to a bigger chair for her so feeding time was a little easier. Well... we decided that we had a little money left over on a gift card that Scott's Dad gave us for Christmas (Thanks Grandpa Willoughby!) So we bought her a high chair. It has been awesome! She loves it! She plays in it, eats in it, watches mommy cook dinner in it... she has so much fun.
Love this next one...
We had just gotten home from church and she was sitting down to eat her afternoon meal and she just looked so darn cute, I couldn't resist! And plus I hadn't taken any pictures of her sitting in her BIG girl chair yet.
She is getting so smart... she loves her leap frog table that Uncle Seth and Aunt Tara gave her. It has legs on it, but where she can't really stand up yet without me sitting right there to make sure she doesn't fall, we take the legs off so that we don't have to be right there the whole time while she is playing with it. She has figured out all the buttons and whether she needs to slide them, pull them across, or push them. We go through phases of all we hear is...
"lights on... lights off...lights on... lights off...lights on... lights off..."
You get the picture ;) But she loves it and that makes us happy!
She is rolling all over the place now!
We lay her in the middle of the floor and look away for a few seconds and...
This is how we find her!
She tends to migrate anywhere there is something on the floor.
This is one of her favorite places, under the table...
She loves to sit and scrap her nails on the wood and hear how it sounds,
and do you SEE all of the attached pieces of hardware, yeah...
need I say more? Silly girl!
Wearing Daddy's hat. So cool! Scott thinks that Paige looks so cute with his hats on. He is always putting them on her, and of course she just sits and grins at him.
(I think she has already got him wrapped around her finger... although,
who doesn't she have wrapped around her finger? Look at that smile, how can I resist!)
Paige now wakes up from her naps and plays in her crib. This is usually how I find her when I walk through the door. SO CUTE! Although, not so cute when it's the beginning of nap time!
She loves to play in the bars.
We can usually hear her banging her binkie on the bars over the baby monitor :)
Did I mention that she loves the coffee table?
So, the other day Paige wakes up from her nap and her hair is standing straight up! This picture is not so good at showing it, cause her hair is so fine... but it was super funny! She looked so cute! Anyway, lately we have been giving her food that she can pick up with her fingers and she thinks that is pretty cool. She does a pretty good job of getting them in. Takes some effort, if she can't get it in her mouth with just one hand she uses the other to help "guide" the other one in. FUNNY! And she just picks the food up and keeps putting them in her mouth as fast as she can pick them up and put them in. Her favorites are rice puffs (which are what she is eating in the picture), cherrios and cheese :) We have been trying fruit and veggies too... but she's not to keen on the texture I think. She does chew, or should I say gum? the food, which is pretty fun to watch :) WOW, did I really say it is fun to watch her "gum" her food? I am soooo officially a parent!
She is talking all the time... and not always at appropriate times. I think her favorite times to talk are when we are at church. You know when it's really quite. Like during the sacrament and during lessons when other people are actually trying ot pay attention! Life of a parent, I know...
Anyway, I tried to get a better video than this, but to no avail. When you get up close to her with the camera, all she is interested in is the camera's bliking red light that goes off when you record. So, of course all her attention just went from talking to watching with delight and curiousity... Anyway, needless to say I took it from across the room on a zoom, but still worth while for mommy, so I was OK with it and I can still watch! :)
And for some other exciting news, tomorrow will be our first official day that we will be looking at houses! We are so excited. We have been driving around town for the past couple of weeks just looking and dreaming waiting until Scott took his boards. Well, with the boards over and passed we finally sat down and called a Realtor. So we are officially in the process of buying our first home. We meet with the Realtor tomorrow to take us around to look at some prospects... So, whatever the outcome, we are excited for this new chapter in our lives none the less.
Wish us luck!
