Erica & Darren's Halloween Party

Our Little Pumpkin (8 Months)

Our little pumpkin is ready for Halloween. She's going to be a monster when we go Trick-or-Treating and The Cat in the Hat this weekend at Darren and Erica's annual Halloween party.

Paige's 8 Month Vocabulary: woof = Mable and any other dog, kee = kitty, book = book, (She says it pretty clearly when we are reading. She is also able to turn pages when asked to.) mama and dada = ??? She doesn't say these when she's looking at us but says them quite often. She's also into imitating almost all of the silly sounds we make. Our Parents as Teachers teacher is very impressed with her vocabulary and motor skills. We're pretty sure she's a genius! :) What else would you expect with parents like us? ;)

Boston in the Fall

We're on Paige's first BIG adventure! Ben has a conferece in Cambridge Sunday - Wednesday of this week. Paige is an excellent traveller. We've taken planes, taxis, and trains so far.

Seven Months aka Sitting is Boring!

At 6 1/2 months, I decided that sitting was boring. I'd much rather stand up and see the world or at least what's on the couch. Here are some 7 month photos and videos that Mom and Dad took. BTW, I weigh 18 lbs. 7 oz. and I'm 27 1/4 inches tall. (75th percentile in both areas!)

Visit to Great-Grandparents

It has been a while since we've posted, and as usual we've been busy! Tad graduated from x-ray school and we got to see the Morris side of the family. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I went to see my Great-Grandma Ingle, Great-Grandpa Bill and Great-Grandma Dixie. We also got to see cousins Sarah, Ashton, Natalie, Blake, and Alexandria.

In addition to seeing all of these new people, I have started to stand up with the assistance of whatever furniture is nearby. Pictures and videos to follow this post....

This sign is all that's left of the town from which Mom & Dad took my middle name - Some of my ancestors lived here long ago.......

Six Months

Who would've thought six months could go by so quickly? Paige sure has changed since February 14th! Paige sits alone, crawls (army-style), rocks back and forth on her hands and knees, laughs when we tickle her or blow on her food to cool it down, drinks water from a cup, spits water from a cup, sits in her big-girl high chair, makes ka-ka-ka sounds when she sees a kitty, and eats everything we offer her (avocadoes, sweet potatoes, bananas, applesauce, super rice porridge, yellow squash, zucchini, rice & oatmeal cereal). I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but one thing I know for sure . . . . God has blessed us with a wonderful girl!

These pictures were taken in a homemade shirt by Mom made from Grandma Linda's scrap fabric. Once again, the bear is desperately trying to make an appearance, but somehow Paige seems to get all of the camera time.

Starting to Crawl

Paige had only been moving around by way of rolling until last night. While we were folding laundry, Ben put Paige on the floor with her butterflies out in front of her as motivation. Here's the result:

Kiley's Wedding

Paige is taking a looong nap now, so I have time to catch up on posting some older pictures.

We made a trip to Carthage with Sheila on July 25th for Kiley & Craig's wedding. Paige was so cute that even Darren wanted to hold her! (This was Paige's second wedding to attend.)
