Day 103 - Walking the Dog

"Weeee, Come On Kaija, Let's Go!"

Paige and I took Kaija for a walk tonight when I got home. It was the first time I took her out of the house in the Baby Bjorn all by myself. She did very well. I am sure we will be doing this more since the weather is starting to warm up. (Well, at least I tell myself this. It was up to 38 degrees tonight when I came home from work.) I guess this also qualifies as a self-portrait, since I held the camera out at arm's length and turned it around to take our picture since we were home alone. I'd say it turned out ok.

Day 102 - Iron Chef Minnesota

"What are you making on that fire daddy?"

Valerie brought Paige into the kitchen to watch me making dinner, and she was pretty interested in what I was doing. If you notice the blue light in the background, that is actually the last remnants of daylight coming in through the window.

Day 101 - Fun in the Sun

"This "Sun" thing you speak of, what does it do exactly?"

Slowly but surely the Sun is starting to stay up longer which is great. It is fun watching her experience sunlight more and more. I still think she is a little unsure of its usefulness as she mostly just squints. It is hard to imagine, but the first two months of her life were the two months of the year with the least amount of daylight. Every day is more daylight than she's ever experienced. Pretty amazing.

Day 100 - Hug Me!

"Even though I'm still sick, this makes me feel better."

Wow, Day 100. Maybe we need to look back at Paige's "First 100 Days." Nah, much more fun to look at what is coming in the next 100 days. She and I are making steady progress at feeling better, but we aren't out of the woods yet. She is occupying her time by hugging her Valentine's day present from Valerie.

Day 99 - MMM.. Duck.

"Boy, duck tastes good. Doesn't taste gamey at all."

Yep, we flew right past the fingers and hands in her mouth stage and moved right on to everything and anything she can wrap her little fingers around getting shoved into her mouth stage.

Day 98 - Wonder

"Wow."

Paige is starting to stare at things for more than just brief moments. Makes it much easier to focus.

Day 97 - Little Ranger

"Go Rangers!"

Paige is sporting her Forest Lake Rangers Pajamas. As you can tell, she is a big fan. She told me that she wants to wish them good luck in the post season!
