Paige 18-months
I'm 18-months old...and a busy bee, learning more and more each day. I'm walking (nearly running everywhere), climbing the stairs and couches and into everything...dog food, the dishwasher and mommys bathroom drawers are just a few of my favorites. I'm saying 10-15 words, pointing at everything and doing lots of grunting when I want something. I love to eat! Favorite foods are bananas, broccoli, yogurt and cheese (of course!) My mom and dad call me sassy, strong-willed and a bit ornary at times. When I get my mind set, there's no backing down on my end, folks! At the same time, I love to snuggle, blow kisses, rub my mommys back when she's holding me, and for the most part, have a toothy smile on my face at all times. My raspy giggle is absolutely infectious...trust me. Teething has been quite an issue for me when it comes to sleeping through the night, but Tylenol and "mommmmaaaaaa!" have been my saviors. Mom and dad are dreading the day when my pacifier goes away, needless to say. Here are some photos of my sweet, silly, sassy-self.

Will this winter ever end?
While we love winter for the skiing, sledding and beautiful white wonderland, I have to say....I'M OVER IT! At least we have these sweet faces to see enjoying the snow angels, snow ice-cream and going down the slide into a huge pile of...snow. Ah, to be a kid again and love every second of our real-life "Frozen" tundra.

{What We're Eating} Stuffed Pepper Soup
This is one of those Pinterest recipe that I've tweaked to my family's liking, but I keep coming back to! It's full of healthy, hearty goodness.
4 peppers, 1 green, 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 orange, diced
1 onion, diced
1 tsp garlic powder
2 ( 26 ounce ) containers reduced sodium beef stock
1 ( 15 ounce ) can tomato sauce
2 ( 15 ounce ) cans diced tomatoes
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey or turkey sausage
3 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
1) In a saucepan cook turkey and add salt and pepper. While thats cooking in -
another pan start cooking the peppers.
2) In a large pot saute peppers and onion, cook until tender and add garlic and sauté
for about another minute. Add your beef stock, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce,
worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, oregano
and basil. Add your cooked turkey and cook for about 20 minutes on medium
high heat. Shut the heat off and add rice and stir. Put a lid on the pot for 5 minutes
and it's ready! Serve with parmesan cheese and a little hot sauce...if you're feeling spicy!

Paige is ONE!
Our lovely Paige Abigail is one year old today, and having a ball! She is finally crawling on all fours (after three months of army crawling) and cruising like it's her job. She has two teeth, but insists on eating table food only and prefers to feed herself. Her favorite foods are bananas, broccoli and any type of meat. She says "hiiiiii" about a hundred times a day, and if you ask her to say any other word, she simply replies, "dadddaaa!" Paige takes two naps a day and sleeps 12 hours at night...bedtime is typically 7pm- a complete opposite of her night-owl of a big sister (in many ways). We honestly can say that we've been blessed with two amazingly happy infants...the sleeping and crying gods have been on our side! Paige is already showing signs of being a bit braver and a bit more outspoken than Claire was at this age, and we've enjoyed every minute of recognizing and embracing the differences between our two sweetie pies, whose photos look so shockingly similar. Paige's "pumpkin-pie" party was a smashing (pun-intended) success, with tons of food, friends, family and bounce-house chaos. Who could complain about a gorgeous 70-degree day in October! Happy first birthday, Paigey-pie...May the next year bring us just as many wonderful memories.
