Funny Paige

Gorgeous baby blues
She loves the tub

I think it's time for an update on Paige. She is so funny right now and at a really fun age. She's 22 months and weighs 22 pounds. Although she's a skinny little thing, she does seem to be getting taller. She's not a big eater and definitely picky. She'll eat most vegetables, all fruits, and is a dairy nut but when it comes to any breads or baked items, she'll have nothing to do with it. The only meat she'll eat is chicken nuggets and beef jerkey so I try to get a little creative in the protein department.

What is really fun is her speech. She has such a vocabulary and can repeat everything we say. Some of the funniest things she'll say is "I'll get it" when retrieving something, or "here she is" when we ask her where someone is. Just tonight, while giving her a bath, I told her I loved her and she said "thank you". So polite. She still doesn't put the phrases together very well but at least we're starting to get an idea of what she wants. Sometimes she'll just get right in our faces, and in a very serious voice, tell us something very important. Wish we knew what she was saying but it only comes out in Paige's jibberish.
Kisses and Loves

After showing interest in my sisters toy baby, grandma Armstrong bought her her very own doll. She rocks the baby, pats the baby, and sometimes pushes the baby in the stroller. She also tosses the baby down the stairs and loves the baby too much if you know what I mean. It's fun to see such a girly side when all we've seen from her is Thomas and choo choo.

Such a big girl

Paige is also very active and loves "ready, set, go". She doesn't move very fast but her little legs try. Although she's a mover she's also a sitter. Most of you moms are probably tsking me right now but Paige will sit and watch cartoons or a movie. Her favorite of course is baby einstein which she'll have a heart attack over, she's so excited. It really is nice for me because I can shower or cook without her wanting my full attention. She also is a huge reader (just like her mom). I love it when she's sitting in her little chair reading one book after another. I love reading to her and making the stories come alive by showing her all that the pictures show. Her favorite books are Goodnight Moon (she looks for the mouse), The Thomas the train books, anything with a flap, and her church sacrament book that has pictures of the temple (her new favorite building).
We took her down to the temple grounds to walk around and show her what the temple was really like and she just screamed and laughed as if she knew what a special building it was.
