Day 205 - The Stick and Roll

"I'll just sleep here for a bit, don't worry about me."

So Paige is a champ at rolling over onto her stomach now. Not so much getting back over to her back yet. Clearly the bars on her crib are a little too far apart for her appendages. Seems like an uncomfortable position to sleep in to me, but she didn't seem to mind too much. Thinking it is probably time to put the bumper in her crib.

Also, I will be trying to catch up with the posts, but I think I may post about two per day until I am caught up because Valerie and Paige are going to Wisconsin for a few days in a little over a week. No reason to have another long hiatus if i can prevent it.

Day 204 - It Begins

"Let me do it, Mommy."

Spent some time outside this evening. Paige wants to try and stand more often these days, and can even stay on her feet when leaning up against you. I am thinking standing on her own is still a ways off, but it gives you a vision of the future (and all of the things in the house that will need to change).

Day 203 - The Budding Sceptic

"Again, I'm not so sure about that."

Just waiting for the day that she tells me I'm wrong. Hopefully that is a ways off. heh.

programming update

I am going to be in denver from today through friday so I won't be able to update the blog until next weekend. I wanted to post a few more before I left but ran out of time. Lots of updates next week.

Day 202 - Grabbing < Petting

"Kaija, I think it's time we had a little talk. I'll make you an offer you can't refuse."

At some point, you just stop putting clothes on your baby, all a new outfit would mean is another thing to launder. Paige is still trying very hard to pet Kaija. It pretty much always ends up being more of a fistfull of hair and a nose dive by Paige into Kaija, but Rome wasn't built in a day as they say.

Day 201 - Can you Tweet too?

"Get with the times Dad, Twitter was over before I was even BORN."

Yeah, this photo got me to sign up for Twitter finally. Not sure what the point is, but I figure I'll give it a try. @sylvesterii. (and her shirt does say "Can you Tweet too?" I don't think it means twitter, but you never know.)

Day 200 - Lightning Visiting

"Nope, Grandpa, I think I just want to cry, that silly rattle is not gonna trick me."

We had a quick overnight visit with Grandpa Roger. Paige was a little fussy still (Tooth Watch '09 continues...) but we still had a very nice visit. The next day while I was slaving away in a court hearing that accomplished nothing, Paige, Grandpa Roger and Valerie all got to spend the beautiful morning at Como Zoo. I'm not bitter or anything...
