Not so long ago

As you may know, Paige had been a little under the weather lately. This is a rare opportunity for her daddy and I to get in a little snuggle time. Now that she's on the move, she has very little patience for sitting still with mom and dad. I took this picture of Paige and daddy napping together, and found an older (and almost identical) picture I had taken when she was a newborn. I can't believe how she has grown in these few short months.

Tiny little Paige and daddy snuggling.

Not so tiny anymore!

So this is Christmas.....

Christmas has come and gone, or has it? I'm sad to say Paige's first Christmas hasn't been so Merry. Her first Christmas was also her first trip to the ER. She's been battling a flu bug for over a week and we had to take her in for some IV fluids Christmas night. We also had to postpone our Christmas celebration at G & G Malichky's that was to be held on Christmas Eve. We did manage to make it to my parents and we all had fun seeing Paige with her huge pile of presents. Nanny and Pappy spoil her so much! We're looking forward to round two this Sunday at G & G Malichky's. We hope you all had happy, healthy holiday!! Here are a couple pics of Paige opening her gifts from Santa at home, and a few from Nanny and Pappy.

Paige opening her Little People school bus. She loves the little girl, pays no attention to the bus.

Opening her baby Crayola markers.

Sitting on her present, apparently more fun than playing with it!

VERY excited about her new car!!

Ho Ho Ho

Paige met Santa last weekend. She really enjoyed waiting in line and playing in the gym with her new friend Halle, but didn't know what to make of Old Saint Nick. She studied him closely, but that was about it. I guess I shouldn't have expected too much from a ten month old!

Little Monkey

Paige is not only getting very good at this whole walking thing, she's also becoming quite the little climber! She's figured out how to climb up onto her rocking chair, turn herself around in it, and even stood up on it! I didn't get a picture of her standing on it, because I threw the camera to catch her incase she fell. Not 15 minutes later she discovered the overturned laundry basket on the living room floor and decided it looked like a good climbing obstacle too. It scares me to death, but at the same time, it's so amazing to see her learn how to manuver in this big scary world!

All shopped out

I think Paige is relieved that mommy is finally done Christmas shopping! She had about all she could handle last Saturday. I just had to take a picture of her in Kohl's!

O Christmas Tree, O christmas tree

I got our Christmas tree up and decorated. So far Paige has paid very little attention to it! After being told no a couple times, she has totally left it alone. And only one package has had it's bow ripped off! Now she just points and waves at the tree :)

Oh yeah, did I mention she waves? She is a waving fool! And she's starting to say bye-bye!

Connected, and catching up!

Great news everybody, we finally have the internet at home again! And of course, that means the Paige Page is back up and running. Now, where do I start?

First, Paige had a great time playing with her cousins over Thanksgiving. She didn't get many naps in, but she didn't let that slow her down. Paige is always up for a good time! Here are just a couple pics of the kido's playing together.

The day after Thanksgiving, we took the kids to Washington for the lighted Christmas parade. Paige got to try out her new snowpants and winter coat. Of course, she looked cute as could be!

Also, Paige has been making a lot of progess with her walking! She can cruise with no problems when she's holding onto something, or someone. But she has also been taking steps all by herself! She can make it a few feet now! It's absolutely amazing to watch your child walk for the first time. It will bring tears to your eyes! She is also a pro at standing up on her own. It's so cute to see her standing, then squat down to get a toy and hop right back up. She loves her new found freedom! I need to remember to keep my camera handy, I haven't gotten a video of her walking solo yet.
