Three little words...

Paige has been stringing together 3 words at a time. I'm not sure if anyone else would understand those words, but her mommy sure does.

Some of her favorites:
~ I love you
~ I like it
~Where are you
~ I did it
~ On my tummy (this is how she goes down the slide)
~ I got it
~ Daddy's home (not 3 words, but close)

She's getting so big and learning so much every day. She notices EVERYTHING!

We played outside for about a total of 4.5 hours today and it was amazing! The days seem to fly by when the weather is sunny and warm (well, it wasn't exactly warm and sunny this morning but we still went to the park)!

Fresh Air

I can't even tell you the last time we were outside for 2 1/2 consecutive hours, but today we were! Then, we went out for another hour after dinner. We went for a walk, talked to neighbors and Paige played with a few little friends. The weather this week is going to be amazing and I can't wait to enjoy it!

Paige and Sophia

We had a fun visit with my friend Shannon and her daughter Sophia today. Sophia is the daughter of my old boss, Tom. She has been wanting to get together for a "play date" with Paige for a long time and today they stopped by for a visit. Paige loved it and Sophia had a great time too. Sophia is a former thumb sucker and she loved that Paige sucks her thumb :).

Glasses & Pigtails

Ok, so I think her pigtails are the cutest thing ever...they're not perfect but they're in. She looks so much older with her hair pulled back!

I talked her into trying sunglasses, she fusses and fusses saying it's "bright" in the car. She is loud and unhappy about her opinion of the bright sun. She's not a huge fan of the glasses yet, but at least she'll wear them for a short period of time. I'm hopeful that she'll realize that it helps keep the bright sun from bothering her so much. Not to mention she looks pretty cool!

Bed-head

Paige had some serious bed-head after her nap today!

After I took her picture she quickly grabbed her headbands ...ha...ha...ha...

Scooping and Pouring

I bought a bunch of uncooked noodles and let Paige scoop and pour them last night. She really enjoyed playing with them last week at "school" so I figured it would be a good activity for at home too. 

 I love her new "smile"...cracks me up!

A visit from Nana & Grandpa

Nana and Grandpa flew back to the cold MN weather for a weekend visit. It was great to see them and really nice to have time together as a family. They've been enjoying their time in Florida and we're so happy that they can get away from the cold MN winters. 

We took a trip to MOA to visit "SeaLife"...the aquarium, can you believe both batteries in my camera were basically dead? I was crushed, we did end up getting one picture at lunch (The Rainforest Cafe) to document the day. The kids had a good time looking at all the sea creatures and it was fun for the adults too. We were back home for naps (I think we all took one.) 

The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out as a family and letting the little ones entertain us. What a great weekend!
