10 Months!

I'm a little behind on my posts, but last Monday Paige turned 10 months old! She's really mobile now, crawling (although still using the Army crawl or worm most of the time) and pulling herself up on everything. No more leaving her in the center of the room and finding her in the same place when I come back! All this exploring has caused a couple of tumbles and bumps on the head but she recovers quickly.

She's also dropped her third, late afternoon nap of the day. I knew it was going to happen soon but I appreciated that extra hour of "free" time. Guess I'll just enjoy the two naps while they last!

I was going through some of her monthly birthday pictures and it is so hard to believe the change over what feels like such a short period of time. She's definitely looking more like a little girl rather than a baby, especially this month's picture. How quickly it has happened!

Checking out the mirror. How fun!

Playing with the door stop. Again, so much fun!

Getting ready for a bath. Look at all those rolls! I love it!

McKenzie's 2nd Birthday & Paige's 1st Time on a Swing

Last Sunday we celebrated Paige's friend, McKenzie's, 2nd birthday with a party at the Bailey's. McKenzie is lucky enough to have a custom built swingset that she graciously shared with her friends. This was Paige's first time on a swing and she absolutely loved it! She giggled, squealed, and grinned from ear to ear until the end. Maybe we can talk Daddy into buying Paige her own?

Myrtle Beach

We recently went on a last minute trip to Myrtle Beach with the Itens. They were going for a Smucker's work event and had extra room so we were lucky enough to tag along. It rained the first day so we didn't have as much time in the sun as we had hoped but we enjoyed just hanging out and pigging out! Addie and Paige loved playing together, especially crawling through the coffee table. Whatever keeps them busy, I guess! I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked but here are a few that I did get. http://www.hamfamilyphoto.shutterfly.com/

Pulling Up & Into Everything

Paige and the new gate with Zoe looking on, concerned how this will affect her own mobility.

A couple of weeks ago Paige began pulling up on her toys, entertainment center, stairs, and in her crib. I think she loves the new perspective it brings but it really put Drew and I into overdrive on baby proofing the house. Here are a few pictures of her getting into anything and everything she can find! More at www.hamfamilyphoto.shutterfly.com.

By the way, if you didn't notice it already, we've added some videos on the Shutterfly site. Scroll down and they'll be on the right.

Paige actually IN the container cabinet. This is her look when she realized she couldn't get back out.

One of her first attempts at pulling up. So proud!
