Paige: One Year

2020 has absolutely dragged on, but Paige turning one has also come a lot faster than I thought it would. We have thoroughly enjoyed having this little spirit bless our family and lives! Paige is truly the best!

Paige shows absolutely no signs of walking. She does not like to use her legs whatsoever so it will be interesting to see how long that lasts. Dan does a good job of making her stand on them to strengthen them. She has gotten super speedy at crawling though.
Paige wants to eat any and all food she sees. I have started giving her "adult" food now that she can mash some of it up with her gums. She still mostly eats baby food though. I keep waiting for more teeth to pop through, but so far she still only has her bottom two. She loves drinking out of her sippy cup and can drink with a straw too.
Paige is in 12 month clothes, probably for not much longer, and size 4 diapers. I don't think she's as chubby now that she is crawling. Kind of a bummer cause I love her chub.
Paige isn't saying words on purpose yet, but she makes the da, ma, ba sounds. And no, she is good at saying no even though it isn't intentional it is funny. 
Paige is an excellent sleeper at night. She goes down anywhere between 8:00 and 9:00 and sleeps til between 7:00 and 8:30. For the past couple weeks I haven't heard her wake up in the middle of the night either. So that is awesome but her naps are not so much. She rarely takes two anymore and if she does they rarely last longer than an hour. When she takes one nap it can be anywhere from 1-2 hours. Hayley and Evelyn take better naps than her ha but she sleeps better than them at night.
Paige has started playing peek a boo with her own hands and blankets. It is the cutest thing. She can give us knuckles and sometimes high fives. When she doesn't like something she will let you know by squawking. We are still working on her showing us how big she is, it is hit or miss. 
Paige loves looking at books, crawling after her sisters, and playing with her toys. She is so much fun and we all are still obsessed with her. She can be a bit of a drama queen sometimes too. Her personality is shining more and more.

It's crazy to me to think that adults with masks is really the only life she has ever known.

Our favorite jammies!

I needed to get ready for the morning but I couldn't pass up snuggling her.

Hayley took this picture and I love it.

Another rare moment these days. I am going to miss this.

I have been singing "You Are My Sunshine" to Paige almost every night since was born, so it had to be her birthday theme. There are patches of beautiful sunflowers throughout Lubbock and one close to our house and it was perfect for some photos. And because there are no studios to rent in Lubbock I did her cake smash session in our house.

Paige: Eleven Months

I can't believe my baby girl is almost a year old!

Paige started crawling a few weeks ago and has been getting faster and going farther each day. It's fun to have her come find me or the girls but I also have to keep more of an eye on her now too. Her crawling is the cutest thing! And I'm terrible and get a little giggle when she stumbles over her arms and face plants.
Paige is a good eater. She gets super excited whenever the Puffs come out or her sippy cup is getting filled up. She really enjoys yogurt. I gave her some eggs and she seemed to like those too.
Paige is down to taking two naps a day, and occasionally has only had one. She goes to bed between 8:30 and 9:30 every night and sleeps 'til after 7:00 AM. She doesn't seem to wake up as much in the night anymore or just doesn't fuss if she does cause the monitor only wakes me up if she's crying (usually).
Poor little girl has had a bit of a runny nose for a little over a week. She also developed a bad enough rash on her bum that we had to take her in to get it looked at and it turned out to be a yeast infection.
Paige is wearing size 4 diapers and 12 month clothes. I am glad it stays warmer a little longer here so she can wear all the summer 12 month clothes we have.
Paige can give us knuckles and we are working on high fives. She will clap her hands when we say, "Yay Paige," and we are working on her raising her arms when we ask, "Who is so big?" She will bounce to the music every time some plays. Sometimes she bounces so much she gets airborne. She also enjoys break dancing ha, which is really just her rolling around from different sitting positions but it looks like break dancing sometimes. She is getting more fun every day.

I love watching this girl grow, even though I don't want her to.

Paige: Ten Months

 Another month has come and gone. I can't believe it.

Paige has started crawling. Well it's more so inching worming along ha. She hasn't figured out how to stay up on her hands and knees yet so she pulls herself along. I'm still fine with her not being so mobile. It has already been a little challenging with her moving cause she can get things she isn't supposed to sometimes. 

Paige's two bottom teeth are all the way through now and her little toothy grin is my favorite. She loves to babble and I enjoy listening to her make noises. I can tell she likes the way her teeth feel against her lips and her tongue. She makes some funny faces when she is feeling them. Teething has made her more fussy than ever in her life but it's understandable. She is still happy and content most of the time.

Paige likes to wave her arms around, especially when she is holding something. She is slowly learning how to wave. 

Paige is in size 4 diapers and her 12 month clothes. I was surprised to find out she was still under 20 pounds at her last appointment. I can never kiss her chubby cheeks enough. 

Paige has started to pay attention to food. Now whenever we eat she watches us ha. She really likes yogurt and isn't fond of peaches or peas. She has figured out how to chomp on puffs too, she really enjoys those. She is good at drinking out of her sippy cup and loves to play with it. 

Paige wasn't sleeping through the night while she was teething but has finally gone back to do so! Makes me appreciate it so much.

Paige doesn't ever seemed to be phased when her sisters tackle her, accidentally hit her with something, or even when she bonks her head or falls over. I think she is just used to it that it's not even a big deal when it happens. She is a tough baby, and good thing too. 

I love when she sleeps with her bum in the air.

Love this happy girl of mine so much!
