Paige Nine Months

Less than three months until the big first birthday and we're enjoying Paige's new-found freedom and personality. She weighed 17 pounds 2 ounces (38%) and 26.5 inches long (12%). She's nursing three times a day and we've started supplementing with formula for one bottle and on-the-go's. She's taking two consistent naps and sleeps twelve hours at night. Paige loves any and all food! There is yet to be a food that I have put on her tray that she doesn't devour. She's waving, starting to pull-up, putting everything on her head, and loves to say "hiiiiiii!" She also says "dadda," nonstop. Army crawling is her latest talent. This girl can scoot like a champ and has successfully ruined all if her shirts by mopping my floors with them. Thanks for the help, kiddo! What an absolute joy you are, my Paigey-Pie. 

Summer Daze

As with every summer it seems, life gets crazy, busy and loads of fun. We've been spending our days at the pool and playing with friends, our weekends at the lake and celebrating birthdays.  And we wouldn't have it any other way. Claire is a fish, getting braver everyday around the water. She jumps into the pool by herself and goes tubing in her very own tube. We're up to 16mph tubing (with no dramatic falls so far) and are hoping to get her on skis by the end of the summer! Paige is fairly content sitting on a blanket or bouncing in her saucer at this point, but mobility is not far away! Oh, how life is about to change. Summer, slow down!
