Houston, we have a crawler!

Paige can officially crawl! She's been working up to it for a couple of weeks, and now we have the evidence on film. Video length: 1 min. (with sound)

Techno baby

Paige is up to new tricks all the time! In this episode, she demonstrates her ability to pull up to standing inside her crib, her prowess with gadgets (note phone and remote control), and her quickly-advancing coordination picking up her toys.

Paige talks on the phone and pushes buttons on remote control. Her knack for technology is further confirmation that she is her father's daughter.

In this video (taken today), Paige looks into her toy box but decides to play with the toys already on the floor. Not much sound. Video length: 59 sec.

New tricks and new shoes

Paige gave me quite a thrill on Tuesday when I walked into her room to find her standing in her crib! She had pulled herself up on the slats! We've already lowered the mattress as low as it will go, and now we must diligently raise the adjustable side as well. Paige is taking a few steps with assistance, so we thought this was a good time for an official first pair of shoes. She has had slippers/booties before, but these are real shoes with leather soles for walking. They are light green with a pink lady bug on top.

Swings!

Here's Paige having fun on the swings at the park. We've been there every day this week!



And here's a link to Paige swinging in live action! Turn on your speakers - I was making her laugh with sound effects.

Fun at the park

Our baby girl is growing & changing all the time! This week, we added hard-cooked egg yolk to her menu. She still favors oatmeal, bananas, avocados, & applesauce, but we are slowly expanding her tastes. We think there are more teeth on the way soon, based on recent fussiness & chewing... we'll see how long this set takes to show through the gums.

Paige now LOVES the swings at the park. Steve caught her on video last weekend-- here's the clip. Note this was taken on his camera phone, so there is no sound. Video Length: 27 seconds.
