Paige

3.5 months old

Paige is 3.5 months old now. She is up to 13.5lbs. I have been slacking on the blogging and the pictures. Paige is due for some new professional shots.


I can sit with minimal assistance now!

Legs like these take work to maintain!

9 weeks old

Paige is now 9 weeks old! At her check up on the 2nd, she was 11lbs 14oz and 22 3/4 inches long. I was surprised by her weight. She is so roly poly, I totally thought she would have weighed more. I guess she is all fluff! She's so strong. The doctor said she acts more like a 4 month old than a 2 month old.

Once again I don't know why blogger cuts the video screen off. Anyone know why? Help me!

Happy Birthday Adam!

Halloween

The pictures are all out of order, I'm too lazy to fix it. Sorry!

This year Preston was a ninja, Maija and Maren were matching witches and Paige was just a cute chubby baby in Halloween clothes. Mom and Dad were masquerading as parents...

We had a fun week. No school for the kids the entire week. I think we had some sort of party/activity every single day. One or two of the days, we even had 2 activities to go to. Bad me did not have the camera for most of it. I don't even have pictures of their pumpkins. Unfortunately I can't even go out and get a picture because mean people smashed them out in the street last night.

All of the pictures on here right now are from our annual family Halloween party. We were missing the Wunderlich family because they got the plague (swine flu). We had a fun night making lots of treats and eating food and playing games. We made mummy and spider hotdogs, chocolate covered oreos, chocolate dipped pretzels and cake. We played pin the face on the pumpkin too.

I also did not get pictures of trick or treating! Each kid has like 7lbs each of candy from all the activities we went to. What are we going to do with it all??

Pretty smiling girl!

I can't believe its been almost a month! Oooops! Paige is just shy of 8 weeks old now. She is awake a lot more now and is starting to try to interact. She smiles and tries to talk. Its just too cute. Paige switched reflux medications for the third time and I am hoping this one is the right one. So far so good, she's much happier and comfortable. As of her last doctor appointment she was almost 11lbs so I am pretty sure she is 12lbs now. Paige also currently has her first cold. We are hoping and praying that it just stays a stuffy nose and not turn into something more serious.

The other kids are great. We just had Parent/Teacher conferences and Preston and Maija are star students. Loved by their teachers and classmates. Preston was voted by all of his peers to be the class representative for the Character Council for his school. Maija's teacher said she is the most happy and smiling student she has ever seen! Maren is talking up a storm and being a totally sassy almost 3 year old.

Here's a video of Paige smiling. I have no idea why blogger is cutting the screen off. Sorry!

3 weeks and a few days

Little Miss Paige is getting so big! She's now 8lbs 5oz, up another 10oz from the week before. This girl knows how to eat! She's got some nice rolls going on now.





Paige is so strong. She has been holding her head up since birth and trying to push and roll herself off of you if you hold her on your shoulder. Last night Adam was doing tummy time with her and she would roll herself over from tummy to back each time.

2 weeks old

Paige is 2 weeks old already. Time goes by so fast in a sleep deprived stupor.

She had her check up on Wednesday and she now weighs 7lb 6oz and is 20 1/4th inches long. Growing big! She is filling back out quite nicely. I love to see babies fatten up!

Blessing day

Paige had her baby blessing this last Sunday, at 10 days old. I don't normally do that, but we had both sets of parents here so we went for it!

We didn't get many pictures because we took her in, blessed her, and then left right after that since she's so young. I think I will put her back in her dress this weekend and get some better pictures.

Those that stood in the circle with Adam were Blair Bench (grandpa), Paul Lingard (grandpa), Kevin Wunderlich (uncle), David Baggerly (uncle), and Bishop Matthew Hahne.

Paige was blessed and given the name Paige Olive Lingard. Olive is Adam's grandmother's middle name on his mom's side.
