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.)

A visit with the Trees

Paige and Mom went to see an old friend from high school on Tuesday. (Christy isn't old, but I guess I can say "old friend" now that we've been out of high school for 10 years!) Ellie is three and Eli is six weeks younger than Paige. Ellie provided lots of entertainment for both babies!
