On Sunday Paige hit the seven month mark. I can't believe how time has flown. We actually have pictures like this for every month, but I have yet to blog them. So I figured I better just do it while I remember what she is doing.
It is amazing to me how quickly these new little ones just fit into our lives as if they were always there. I can't imagine our life without our little Paige.
Paige has gone from being a fussy, Mommy's girl, to being a pretty happy camper. She is still a bit hesitant with new people, but warms up pretty quick I think. Though she definitely likes her space. If some random person comes up and talks to her and touches her, or something, and she doesn't like it, she will definitely let them know. It seems to happen at the store, or at church or new places the most.
She loves her toes! They are her favorite toy. She chews on them and tickles them, all sorts of stuff. But she is also quite the yoga/Pilate's master. She can hold positions longer than anyone I know. :)
Paige is starting to sit up some. She can't hold herself too long, but I think it is partly because she is such a busy body and doesn't want to just sit. She wants to grab her toys, or her toes, or anything in sight. She also has become semi-mobile this month. She doesn't crawl, she just wiggles herself anywhere she wants to go. Luckily she can't get too far, but she can get pretty much anything in sight. :)
She rolls some. Mostly onto her tummy. She can roll from her tummy to her back, she just doesn't like too. She would much rather be on her tummy. That way she can see everything and look around better. I'm often surprised at how far she can lift her body off the ground. She pushes her arms up and gets her chest, and almost down to her hips off the ground. She has also tucked her knees up under her a few times, just not at the same time as her arms. I don't think it will be too terribly long before this one is crawling, and I have a feeling that she will be into everything. :)
She is a squirmer too! She has started to jump and arch her back and wiggle when you hold her, so she often get put on the floor so she can squirm away. She cannot sit still, which causes problems at bedtime. She is busy, busy, busy. Though when she is tired she will just crash.
Paige loves to talk. She just jabbers all day long. Lately she has started yelling sounds. It seems to be in the car, but it is quite hilarious, it sounds like she is scolding someone. She also squawks quite frequently too, but she has always done that. We call her our little "squawky".
She also loves to shake her head back and forth. It is so darling, and often gets all of our attention, to which when she realizes makes her smile and do it even more. She also has learned to wave with her whole arm up on down. I think she picked it up on the airplane to and from Portland, with everyone waving at her.
She also adores her big sister! (Her big sister adores her too). No one can make her laugh or smile like Hallie can. It is my favorite to watch them together. A couple of nights ago we were all laying on our bed watching TV and Hallie was playing with Paige, and I overheard her say, "what's the matter Paige? Your big sister is always here for you." It made me smile on the inside and out. I hope she always is there for her little sister, and takes as good care of her as she does now.
The big sister...
I know this is blurry but it makes me smile! Paige is getting to an age where she can interact with her sister more, and they have a lot of fun together. They both get laughing and then none of us can stop.
This picture I took today (12.6.2012) and I had to include it. Our little Paigey girl has the sweetest smile, and makes us smile too. Her hair always seems to be the first thing people notice, for rightful reasons. It has calmed down and for the most part so it doesn't poke up everywhere anymore. Which kind of makes me sad. I just love her pokey hair! It is also getting long! I have started to have to do something with it or it is in her face all the time. Her hair is also getting more red I think. Maybe I just haven't noticed it before though. I don't think it will ever be as red as her sisters, but it definitely has a touch of red. And blond. And brown. People pay big money to make their hair look like this little girls hair. :)
Like Hallie, Paige has an array of nicknames: Paigey, Paiger, Paigeroo, Paigerooski, Bug, Little Lovey (I call both my girls that though), and many more that just fit the situation I guess. But those are the most common I guess.
Oh our sweet Paigey Girl, what would we do without you?
