The Zoo

We decided to take advantage of the beautiful afternoon and go to the zoo. It was so fun to get outside and enjoy the warm sunshine, we all had a great time.  Paige loved the animals, she "chirped" with excitement at all of them.  She was so cute and such a good girl, we even had a picnic in the park after...she loved it (and so did mommy and daddy).

10 Months Old!

Double digits already...how did that happen so fast?  Time is flying by, I'm so grateful that I get to spend my days with you now.  I'm a much better full time mommy than a part time worker.  I feel like you're more content too, you're a total ham when we're at home...the faces you make and squeals that come out of your mouth make me laugh.  The word momma has been flowing from your little lips more and more. At 2:30 this morning you were crying in your crib saying "mom-mom-mom" it made my middle of the night wake up call much more rewarding.  It amazes me how we fit together like 2 puzzle pieces, when I nurse you, you snuggle me and tuck your little arms and legs into me...it's so comfy and I'll be so sad when those days end.  I feel like I have been trying to savor all of these moments together because I never want to forget them.  You are the sweetest little girl, you've got spunk and you're constantly on the go.  You like to push the limits (ie: testing mommy with the fireplace, her laptop and other things you know you're not supposed to play with) and I love you for everything you are.  You're the best thing I've ever done and you make me such a happy momma!!!

mom-mom-mom

It finally happened, Paige is saying "mom-mom-mom"!  I love it, she usually does it when she's crying before nap or when she's fussy...but today she did it out of the blue during happy playful moments!  I LOVE being a stay at home mom, I feel like she loves it too.  She's such ham, she plays and goofs around like crazy but when we go out she's so serious...it makes me laugh. 
I love you doodle-bug!

Kenley's Big Day

Today was Kenley's big surgery, we've been praying extra hard for our sweet cousin.  She's such a sweet little girl and a trooper, we can all learn so much from her!  We were able to spend some time together last night and it was nice to be able to give her a hug and kiss before her big day :).  Paige had a great time on a wagon ride with her best buddy...I see many wagon rides in their future.  We love you Kenley!

41 Weeks Old!

and of course a couple goofy pictures too...

Paige woke up from her nap with some wild hair!  She was hot and sweaty...makes me wonder if she'll have natural curl (or frizz) like her mommy?

Hanging Out

Paige and I went to Grandma and Grandpa's yesterday to hang out for a bit.  She was able to play with uncle Pat and swing in the back yard.  I have a feeling it's going to be a very busy and fun summer!

Great Grandma Alice

Great Grandma Alice loved jewelry, nothing fancy...just some fun costume jewels.  When she passed away Grandma Kathy got most of it, we dressed Alice up when she was about 6 months old and now it was Paige's turn.  She didn't want to sit still, and she wanted to put everything in her mouth (go figure).  Here are a couple cute pictures.
