Fast Forward

I'm way too behind to update everyone on all the Paige stories, so I'm just going to do a very brief status update and give you lots of pics! (Here you go Auntie N!)


So, Paige has greatly increased her vocaulary lately. She can shoes, house, nanny, mommy, daddy, bottle, bryce, and as of last night, night-night! It is so great to be able to communicate with her! She can really understand things we ask, and she's getting to be quite the little helper.

Farmer Girl

Daddy got new pigs recently, so it was the perfect time to introduce Paige to her farming future. Paige wasn't scared of the piggies one bit. She was very anxious to get right in the pen and follow them around. She just didn't understand why they kept running away from her!

I got smart and brought my camera to work with me so I could blog on my lunch break, with FAST internet! So it's your lucky day, here is a video and a few pics. The video is a little dark, but you get the idea.

Notice her too cute chore boots!

So, so, so far behind!

I have to apologize to the followers of the Paige Page, I have been terrible about updating lately. Mostly because I've lost patience for loading pictures from home, and lets face it, who wants to read a blog without pictures?! I really wish I could load video too, because Paige has been such a hoot lately!

So I'm going to list a few things Paige has done lately and include a couple pics that Torrie was nice enough to send me at work!

1. Paige has stopped climbing stairs, she now prefers to come DOWN the steps. This scares mommy to no end! She, of course, thinks it's hilarious.

2. Paige's understanding of words has really developed in the last few weeks. She can now "fetch" items by name. When we tell her it's time to go "night, night" she goes to the door that leads upstairs and starts pounding on it. And when we tell her it's time to brush her chompers, she sticks her tongue out. It's all very cute and exciting for mommy and daddy. It's amazing when you realize they actually know what you're talking about!

3.Paige's new "job" is closing things for us. Her absolute favorite is the dishwasher. But she can do cabinet doors, the fridge, and doors too.

4. This week Paige has added a new phrase to her vocabulary. She has started saying "Thank You". She says it when she hands you something, or is handed something. Too cute!

Other than that, she has been having a great time hanging out with her cousin Blake and buddy Bryce. She's going to be starting a new daycare in a month, which I'm both sad and excited about. I just hope she adjusts to the change well! Know Paige, she'll be just fine. Yesterday she went up to a total stranger and stuck her hands up to picked up. She's definitely not shy!!

Snowed In

Paige and I are playing hookey today. It's just too darn cold to go outside! We got some snow overnight, but the real danger is the absolutely frigid temperatures. So we're staying in and not doing much of anything. It's 1:30pm and Paige is still in her jammies. I mean really, what's the point of getting dressed? The highlights from today include getting out nearly every toy she owns, spinning in daddy's big office chair, and pushing her car around the house. I'm trying to convince Paige it's just at fun to push the car as it is to ride in it ;) Oh, and getting stuck under her pony Buttercup. Hope you're all staying warm and safe today!

Baptism

Paige was Baptised at the UMC in Riverside on January 4th. She was very good. Chris and I were a little worried about how she would react. In the last couple weeks she's decided that she's not a big fan of water on her head anymore. But she did very well! Thanks to all our friends and family who came to celebrate with us!

Daddy's little helper

Paige is such a helpful little girl. She's got to be right there doing whatever it is you're doing. Be it empting the dishwasher, folding clothes, or in this case, assembling a filing cabinet.

New Digs

Nanny and Pappy got Paige a new house for Christmas. She thinks it's pretty cool. And sometimes daddy comes over for a visit.
