New Hobby

Doug has a new hobby - brewing beer! For Christmas I got him a home brew kit. So a couple of weeks ago, a couple of his buddies came over and made their first batch of beer. This last Sunday, they got it bottled up and started brewing another batch. They really seem to enjoy and it is a fun way for them to have some "guy" time.

12 months!

So this will probably be our last little photo shoot with the doll. I might try to do it every three months instead of one, but we will have to see. I am happy that I did it every month for the last year cause boy has she changed. Not only has she grown, but her little personality has changed too. For the most part, Paige is the happiest baby. She loves to laugh and smile. Her smile lights up a room. She has started to pull her self up to a standing position, so if I remember correctly, walking is not too far behind. She is also starting to like "big" people food. Anything that we eat she wants to try. So far, we haven't found anything that she doesn't like. She is also more verbal with what she wants. She points to things she wants and when you give her something she doesn't like, she lets you know it. She also likes to clap at things, loves to dance to music, waves hello and goodbye to people, and has currently learned to blow kisses. I know I say it every month, but I really can't believe how big she is getting.

Her newest trade - coloring! Piper was sitting down to color the other day and Paige was dying to join in. She picked up a crayon and went to town. She absolutely loved it and I now have a beautiful new picture hanging on my fridge :0)

Look Who's One!

A year ago we welcomed a new blessing into our family. Paige turned a year old on the 15th and we had a little party at the house with Poppy Rick and Mica to celebrate. I can't believe that my baby is year old!

The official cake and the cute smash cake.
After we sang Happy Birthday we gave Paige her smash cake. Doug helped her put her hand in it and Paige looked at us like we were all crazy. She took a taste then decided she was done for a bit.
Opening presents!

Yup, she loved the building table Poppy Rick and Mica got her.

She also loved the lady bug they got her too. Poppy Rick and the girls.

Trying out the train from Grandma Toni. We had so much fun celebrating our baby's first birthday. It truly was a perfect day!

Half-time Fun!

This is what we did during half-time of the National Championship game tonight. What did you do?

Piper showed us her awesome jumping skills.

Paige showed off her teeth!

Happy New Year!

So we had a pretty uneventful New Year's eve this year. Everyone was pretty sick with a nasty cold so we didn't feel like doing much. We had a fun dinner of finger foods and then celebrated ringing the New Year in with poppers, noise makers, and hats.

Christmas 2010

I just wanted to share some of my pictures from Christmas morning. We had such a great day. I hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as we did. Can you tell that Piper was super excited about her Pillow Pet?!?
She loves the horsey Uncle Ty and Aunt Dina sent.

Santa came!!!

11 Months!

I know this is really late, but I have been so busy with the holiday's and everything I just haven't had time to update. Miss Paige was 11 months old on the 15th of December and when she woke that day we noticed that she had a new tooth! She is crawling up a storm and has started to pull herself up in a standing position. She has finally mastered the sippy cup and she loves to eat. She wants to try everything that we are eating and it is fun to see the stuff she really likes and stuff she doesn't care for. So far we know she likes all kinds of pasta, rice, and pancakes. She also loves to listen to music and dance. I am so excited that she doing all these fun new things, but is also sad because she isn't a little baby anymore.
