Day 167 - Faces of Paige

"Uh, come again?"

Facial expressions are becoming one of her strong suits. Not sure what this one is supposed to be saying, but I fell over (literally) laughing after I chimped this shot.

Day 166 - Hello Kitty, Hello Ducky.

"Wait, what does "cheese" mean. What is this "cheese" of which you speak?

You never know what you are going to get when trying to take a "formal" portrait. Sometimes she hams it up, sometime she freezes. At least she speaks in proper English, not ending sentences with prepositions for this girl*.

*turns out we have all been lied to. You CAN end a sentence with a preposition. See Grammar Girl

Day 165 - Sitting Up? Check.

"This sitting stuff is getting a lot easier you know?"

Paige can officially sit up, for at least a minute before she tumbles and smacks her head. You would think that it would be slow motion falling, not so much.

Day 164 - Grandma Time

"Mor Mor, this has been really fun."

We were able to spend the morning with my parents and have breakfast (Abelskeivers and Zup's Pork Sausage) before we had to head home. It was a great weekend.

Day 163 - Chilly Day At the Cabin

"Grandpa, you're so funny!"

We were able to spend the weekend at the Cabin in Ely. It was supposed to be rainy and very cold. We lucked out, and it was mostly sunny and about 50. We were able to go for a nice walk / run around Miner's Lake with Paige and Kaija. She also was able to spend some quality time with Grandpa Will and Mor Mor Teri.

Day 162 - Food Update.

"I think I've got something on my shirt, you should have put a bib on me."

She has advanced quite a bit in her solid food endeavors, but a good portion ends up on her clothing still. It never seems like we have enough bibs around these parts. She is now eating sweet potatoes, green beans, squash, carrots and peas.

Day 161 - Laundry

"Uh, Mommy I think you forgot something."

Laundry day in the house. Parents only have so many hands, and sometimes you need to make some innovations.
