Day 365 - Down Her Own Path.

"Time to move forward Dad. No time to look back now."

Well, here we are. The world has revolved around one entire time since our little Paige Julia came into this world. It has been an amazing time; it was faster than we ever imagined, and more exciting that we could have ever known. Paige has grown through many stages from "Baby Burrito Head" to our "Monkey-Doodle" to Paige, the "Big Walker."

We can't thank our families enough over this last year, because without them I don't know how we would have made it. Not only the blog, but all of the experiences and trials we have gone through this year raising our beautiful daughter. It has been a hard thing deciding what is the next step for the blog, and for what we as a family think will be best. The link that the blog created with all of our friends, family, associates, (and the random viewer from Taiwan or Finland) has been wonderful, and we don't want to give it up. Therefore, PJ365 is going to be morphing into PJ52. At least one update and photograph per week, hopefully some bonus photographs along the way. We'll be setting up the site soon. I haven't decided if it will be on the blog here, or if it will be migrating to wordpress or possibly even square space. Details will follow! (and of course pictures of Paige and her birthday cupcake on the first day of her second year.)

Day 364 - Baby Trap

"You can't fool me Dad. I know how to get out."

Paige enjoys a good clothes basket. I think I could set it up at a little trap. The clothes basket could be held up by a stick with a string tied to it, and BAM. I'd catch a baby!

Day 363 - One Last Closeup

"OK, Mommy. I will pick up my toys. (hehe)."

Only a couple days left, so I figured I would try to get at least one more closeup of Paige on the blog. It has been interesting watching how her face has changed, and yet she still looks so much like she did on the first day she was here.

Day 362 - Drinking and Walking

"So much for bottles and crawling. That is for babies."

She is walking like she has been able to her whole life. The transition from bottle to sippy cup on the other hand is not going so well. We have been trying for some time, but she just seems to throw them around more than she drinks from them.

Day 361 - Special visits

"Weeeeee!"

Mor Mor Teri is paying a special visit to help take care of Paige until Paige is better, and she can go back to daycare, as it is going on 13 days. (Fingers crossed that it is by Wednesday.)

Paige's daredevil ways are continuing, as can be seen above. You may also notice in yesterday's picture the bright red scab across her forehead. She decided to see if she could break a cement stair with her forehead. The stair won.

Day 360 - Packer Beads

"You're good parents. I bet I won't choke on one of these little beads."

They aren't as dangerous as they look. (I hope.)

Day 359 - Cracker time.

"Eat some crackers. They will make you feel better."

Cheddar Bunny Crackers. Good, and good for you.
