Paige standing up all by herself!! She is taking three or four steps on her own but still isn't walking all the time. She still prefers crawling and walking holding onto one of our hands. She wants to walk all the time but has to be holding on to something or someone. We have noticed that if she is carrying something in her hand she will walk by herself.
Here is Paige playing at her cousin Brooke's birthday party.
Paige is already ready for kindergarten. (Mommy's school was celebrating it's 50
th birthday on Sunday and we went for a picnic and assembly.) Here I am sitting in the rocking chair in the kindergarten classroom.
Paige has really started talking a lot the past few weeks. She babbles all
the time, talking to us and her toys. We understand some of the words but not all. We wish we knew what she was saying
because it's so sweet to listen to and she looks so serious when she is talking.
She plays well by herself and is becoming so interactive with us. She seems to understand so much of what we say to her. She plays a game with Brad where he asks her what sounds certain
animals make and she tells him. She makes
the noise of an elephant, monkey, and sheep. She can wave bye-bye and give high fives too. She is really starting to show her sense of humor and laughs all the time and tries to get us to laugh at her. She sits in her high-chair and blinks at us until we blink back at her. Then she giggles and does it again. She loves when we chase after her saying, "I'm going get you" and she laughs so hard and falls over so we will catch her and tickle her. She will also tickle back if told to.Some of the words she says are: hey, uh-oh, daddy, mama,bye-bye, see, see
da(we think
da is that), tank
tou(which is thank you, this seems to be her favorite word..she says it whenever you give her something). A few times she has repeated some other words to us but doesn't say them all the time. Can you tell we are proud of her? She is an amazing blessing to both of us.
Today we went over to Brad's sister house and spent the day with his family. We had a greatlunch and had a little Easter egg hunt for the kids. It was so fun. Paige had a blast. She walked around and picked up the eggs and put them in her basket. It was so cute to watch her have so much fun. She was really into the egg hunt. It was a beautiful day, just a little cool. (Only about 48. Last week it was 80!) In other news Paige walked so much today. She really gained the confidence boost that she needed and was walking all by herself all over the place. When we got home she kept doing it too! I think she may be walking all the time now!! Yeah!! She also started saying the word "cracker" over the weekend.
