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.

New Pictures!

I got the cd from the portriat shop, so I thought I'd share a few of our latest pictures!

How boring are we?

Well, I may not have any cute pictures or videos to make this interesting, but here's an update on Paige. She had her 9 month check up two weeks ago and she's a very healthy 21 lbs, and 29 inches long. Still in the 95% for height, but down to 80% for her weight. The doc said she's developing right on track and to keep up the good work!

As usual, Paige came down with a cold a couple days after her check up. It never fails, step foot inside the doctors office and you get sick! She's still coughing a little, but the runny nose is pretty much all gone. Of course she could have caught it from daycare too, it seems they were all a little under the weather. Our daycare provider had to take a whole week off!

Paige is really getting around now. She's getting to be quite the little mover and shaker these days. She is cruising along furniture like a pro, and even lets go and stands on her own for periods of time! We got our family pictures taken last weekend and we got an adorable shot of her standing all by herself. I'll try and get it up here as soon as I get the cd from the portrait place.

She's also starting to be a little chatter box. I'm glad too, I was starting to think she might be mute! She's always been such a quiet baby, but now she's babbling and jabbering most of the time. She usually sounds surprised :) It's pretty dang cute.

Still Kickin'

If anyone is still reading this, I thought I'd let you know we are still alive and kickin'. I still don't have Internet access at home, so I haven't been able to post or upload any pics for quiet a while now.

I'm very glad to say we are all moved into our new home in the country! We love it, and it's been very cool to see Chris and Jim driving by between the farms all the time :) Chris has been able to park the tractor in the drive way and come in for dinner during some of his recent late nights hauling poo. Paige and I are happy to have the extra time with him!

Paige continues to grow like a weed! She is really moving these days. She can crawl super fast, and is a pro at pulling herself up. She loves to "walk" too. Anyone who will lead her around is her new best friend. I think she'll be walking on her own very soon!

She has her 9 month check up today. It's so hard to believe she is 9 months old already! I guess I better start planning her birthday party, it will be here before we know it!

Another piece of good news, our best friends Jon & Kelly (and Bryce!) are moving back north! We can't wait to have them back and see more of them! We wish them luck selling their current home, and searching for a new place.

Well, as soon as I can I'll get more Paige pics uploaded. She sure is changing fast!

Catching up!

We've had an extremely busy last couple of weeks. Paige and I have been busy packing and preparting for the move, and Chris has been busy hauling manure, and now powerwashing. We've seen very little of eachother the last couple weeks!

We got all moved last weekend. I must say a huge THANK YOU to all our helpers! You guys were amazing. We were hanging things on the wall at the new house by 1 O'clock! We're about 90% settled in now. Just a few minor adjustments need to be made, but most can wait for a while. We don't have internet yet though, so posts will be somewhat sporadic for a while.

We did manage to squeeze in a little Trick-or-Treating Friday night. Paige looked so cute in her costume, and was a very happy little ghost/princess! Here's a pic of her and her cousin Blake in their costumes.
