11 Months!

I'm way overdue on my posts to the blog so rather than write about each occasion individually, they are all wrapped up into this one for the month. I'll try to be more on time next time!

Since I last posted, we've been busy. We traveled to St. Louis for a visit with Drew's family. Paige did pretty well on the plane but came down with a fever half way through our trip so she wasn't in the best form. While there, we went to the St. Louis Zoo and saw the bears, penguins, and hippos. The hippos alone were well worth the trip! Given their size, it's pretty unbelievable how graceful they are under water. Paige enjoyed seeing the animals but I'm not sure she still completely understands the concept.

After our trip, Aunt Amy and Uncle Phil sent Paige an Elmo sprinkler to use in our backyard. She absolutely loved it. These are some of my favorite pictures! She also had fun tasting the grass and roaming the backyard.

When she isn't eating grass, Paige also enjoys spaghetti. Her first spaghetti experience was quite the disaster but she had a ball! As you can see, a bath was definitely required. Rosie and Zoe loved cleaning up after her too!

Putting something up there or pulling something out? Either way, priceless!

Finally, Paige hit 11 months last week. We had to spread out the birthday photoshoot into two days because she wasn't really into it the first time. She wanted to show off her latest pose, standing next to Little Bear.

Testing her limits.
