I'm One Month Old!

Karen, Nora, Carie, Carley, and Cailyn came over today. We all had a good time--there wasn't much crying! Both Carley and Cailyn liked playing with Paige and Nora. I'm sure all of these girls will be great friends!

Grandma Dixie sent Paige some cute bows in the mail for her one month birthday. Here's one of Paige wearing the yellow bow from her great-grandma. It was hard to get Paige to open her eyes for this photo because she was sunggled up in the new sling her mommy made for her yesterday..... (Mommy also had a hard time taking these pictures of herself holding Paige.)

Slow Day

Today we practiced going to sleep without crying. We're trying to follow the book On Becoming Baby Wise. So far, it's worked pretty well. Last week Pagie slept continuously from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m for four nights! It has been nice to catch some much needed zzzzzzzz's.

Here are some pictures and videos from our eventful day. Enjoy!

Daddy's Open House

Paige made her longest road trip to date on Friday. She went to Branson to see Daddy at work. His cancer center hosted an open house because they are going to open for radiation treatments very soon. Lots of Ben's co-workers were excited to meet Paige.

Paige tried out her daddy's big office chair. Grandpa Mike helped her stay in her seat. Later, Paige went out to eat in Branson with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma Linda, Grandpa Mike, Eric and Amanda. It was her first experience with dining out. Like most of Paige's "firsts," she slept through the entire evening!

First Snow

We had about five inches of snow on Monday night. Since Paige is still a bit too little to go outside to build a snowman, Daddy brought snow in to her. He took yesterday off to spend time with his girls. Paige wishes her daddy could stay home every day!

Lunch at the Farm

On Sunday, Paige went to visit Grandma Linda and Grandpa Mike after church. Grandpa Mike had a bull calf born when we were there. He also had a heifer born the week Paige was born. He named the new heifer Paige. :)

Play Date with Nora

Paige and Nora had their first play date on Monday before the big snow!

Visitors from North Missouri

Great-Grandma Dixie and Great-Grandpa Bill came down to see Paige this past weekend.
