This "munchy munchkin" brings so much love into our home. It always amazes me how much a new baby is loved by all members of the family. Paige is no different. She has bitten every one of us but we come back for more:)
She is our first mullet baby. Luckily, our good friends from grad school taught me that mullets are easily cured with darling pigtails. At her 15 month appointment she weighed in at barely 20 lbs. She reminds me a ton of Reagan as far as her size. She did have a growth spurt and is now in the 90th percentile in height. Previously she had barely been in 70th percentile.
She is currently into everything. She makes messes much faster than I can clean them. She scatters puzzles, empties bookshelves, unrolls toilet paper in both bathrooms, and plays in kitchen drawers. She loves her bath, her siblings, and eating apples. She refuses bottles, milk of any kind, pacifiers, and is amazingly gifted at throwing fits. She bites more than any of our other kids and does so intentionally if someone is making her upset. She doesn't talk. Her only words are Mom and Dad. She is our first baby to say "mom" first.
She has some teasing in her personality already and hates to have her diaper changed. She is a terrible sleeper. I am pretty convinced it is because she is hungry in the night because she refuses to drink a bottle or any milk and is a very picky eater. We haven't had a picky eater yet so it has been... interesting. She loves Will for lots of reasons but one of which is that he will be her partner in crime. She can convince him to help her do just about anything. Pretty talented for someone that doesn't talk! Last week I found her in the backyard and Will said, "She really wanted to go outside so I let her out." Awesome.
Even though she is most definitely a handful, we love her dearly. She snuggles more than any other child and will do so with all of us. She gives hugs and kisses and as I mentioned before, is adored by all of us.
Paige walks around ooooohing. This is what it looks like. As I look at the picture, I can hear her.
And yes, this girl is a thumb sucker.
She is also our first brown eyed baby.
And recently, she finally walks! Isn't this little girl darling!
She loves to suck her thumb and pinch her belly button. Her button is more of an outy than our other kiddos and the squeezing makes it look like the end of a balloon.
With walking comes falling. She hit her lip pretty hard with a fall recently.
And a picture of her belly button.
