Mittens and shoes

Paige finds the wearing of too-big items simply glorious... now, the walking in said-items is challenging. But Paige is always up for a challenge.

April

Lots of fun in April -  time on the water at Grandma and Grandpa Hegland's house... a new home (note exploration of the new toy-storage ottoman), and a little girl who can almost walk (the video was actually taken May 3, but we'll just call it 'April' anyway!)

March 2009... so far!

How many babies can we fit in this cabinet??  Paige says "at least one!"

Learning to walk... I'm betting by next month she'll have it!

Paige making friends with the older boys... Dustin, beware!

At the pool in the middle of March... we love florida (and Grammy W.'s heated pool).  Paige is definitely a water baby... or at least she thinks she is.

"But Mama, I REALLY don't want those green beans!

Paige finds a solution to crawling on rough concrete... "crawl" on hands and feet! Our little froggy?

These flowers look tasty!!

Peek-a-boo Paige!!

Hangin' out on Grammy W.'s back porch... fun stuff!

Swing-swing at the park with the Tighe's - Paige and Molly will fit in one swing for how long??  I suspect not much longer...

The super 4-legged flying Molly-Paige... who knew two adorable little 10-month olds could fit so nicely in a swing??

Hmmphh... Paige having a lovely time in the great outdoors!

What do you mean "I have a star puff stuck to my chin?"

Paige explores the fridge... such a domestic little girl.

Trying to figure out our new scooter... it works better if Mama just pushes us along.

Paige stays with Grammy W. for a weekend while Mama goes to a conference... and spends some quality time in the sink... with an empty tube of toothpaste... whatever works!!

Hello, hello?  Is Paige there??  Thank goodness she now has her own "phone."

Handling the breast-to-bottle conversion quite nicely.  

Last but not least, a couple of videos for your viewing pleasure... 

February 2009!

Why mommy, I see you have a camera... please, allow me!

And daddy, what a big knife you have!  Can I help the dishwasher clean this??

Another fantastic discovery... rags are simply delish! Or, they make very good teething soothers.

Our little prodigy at work on her piano.

Yummers, yummers... deconstructing Grammy's (Wheeler) storage container cabinet!

Paige has shoes on her feet!  Or, rather, she did, briefly... it took her about a minute to figure out how to remove them.

This ride is better than anything at Disney... laundry basket roller coaster, powered by Mama!

Crawling and standing!

Well, its official - as of January 11, 2009 Paige is mobile.  She crawls all over the place, and for the first time I can say that it is nice to live in a small apartment - it makes keeping track of her so much easier!!  She is also readily pulling herself up to standing (getting down is much more difficult), but nothing on tables, couches, chairs, etc. is safe anymore!!

Paige has had such a busy couple of months in November and December!  We recently became homeowners and are doing lots of home improvements (kitchen, floors, walls, ceiling...) prior to moving, and Paige has been there 'helping.'  

Incidentally, this is the view from the condo (and why we bought it!)

  

Other fun events:  Brunch at 706 with Uncie Rob... Paige very much enjoyed his hummus (thanks again!!)

And, if there was ever any doubt, Paige is definitely Dustin's child... note the ability to fall asleep anywhere:

We've been playing in boxes with Grandma B:


Hangin' out by the lake with Mama:

And, so cute... discovering the fun of bathing.  It's another video, enjoy!!
