A New Trick!

Yesterday, I came in to get Paige up from her nap and this is what I found.  A very proud little girl who had pulled herself up for the very first time.  We were both very excited, and luckily the camera was sitting on the table next to the bed so that I could capture this sweet moment.  Paige has been able to crawl for months, but refused to do so, opting instead to roll everywhere.  About a week ago she began to crawl and has taken off.  She's everywhere and into everything!  And the past few days she began to pull up.  She can walk around tables and chairs when I stand her up, but this was her very first time standing up completely on her own.  Now it won't be long until she takes off running.

Updates!




Family picnic!  Feeding the ducks and eating dinner by the pond.
                             I love Cheerios and swimming with my dad!


                Baby #2 showing him/herself!  4 1/2 months pregnant!

Paige is now 9 months old and little baby #2 is 18 weeks old in my tummy and starting to show him/herself.  Paige is pointing, waving, crawling and starting to stand up.  She's still talking all the time and has added the word "what", which is hilarious to hear.  She's such a big girl, with so much life and personality.  She really is such a joy.  Our new little sprout is an active little one, and now I can feel him/her moving around.  Soon our little family of 3 will be a family of 4!  This little one has fingerprints forming this week and is the size of a peach.

Mother's Day Weekend


This first Mother's Day weekend together was wonderful.  We got to have Uncle Nash come and stay with us and meet Paige for the very first time.  They had so much fun playing together and Nash even got to read her his favorite story.  




We were also able to have my whole family over for a Mother's Day brunch at my house on Sunday morning.  It was so nice to be together and eat lots of yummy food.  Once again Patrick spoiled me with a very thoughtful gift.  And, we were blessed the night before to have our very own Uncle Nash, a chef, prepare a great dinner for us.  
He made yummy Philly cheese steaks, pasta salad and his specialty, Nash potatoes.  So good!  A great weekend of food, family and fun!
