7 Months!

I know I am officailly 2 months behind on Paige's update!!! This will not happen again... ok at least I hope it wont. Paige does not have a doctors appointment until 9 months so I will give exact details in January.  As for what Paige was doing during month 7 ... here we go. 

Eating: She was still eating 4 times a day. She is eating 5 ounces of breast milk at 8 am, 12 pm and 4 pm. At 8pm she gets 6 ounces. She still eats her cereal, fruits and veggies twice a day.  Paige has started eating Puffs and she loves them!!! Our first time giving them to her was very stressful.... Mommy freaked because I thought she was choking!! But she wasnt!  Paige has also started eating Cheerios. She has added Pineapples, Mandarian Oranges, pears, and fruit cocktail to her list of fruits!

Playing: Paige loves Playing Peek-a-Boo with her blankets. She cracks up when you play the game with her. She loves playing in and around her carseat. Her favorite thing is to crawl into her carseat and stand up inside of it. She also loves playing with her rattles or anything that makes noises. Paige LOVES when Daddy puts her in the door jumper. She jumps like CRAZY, especially when Daddy puts on Oldies Music! Its hilarious to watch her jump like crazy!

Talking: She enjoys babbling. Paige officially started saying Dada this month!!! Mommy was not too happy but to see Bill's face light up when she said his name was PRICELESS!! She constantly is making noises if you talk to her. She makes noises as if she knows what we are saying and she is answering us back. She understands the words No very well. She is too cute!

Crawling: She knows how to crawl on her hands and knees but would rather army crawl everywhere! I think she rather army crawl because I think she gets around super fast taht way!

Standing: Yep pulls herself up on everything!

Walking: No walking yet, but Mommy and Daddy are helping her out, but she would rather jump when we hold her hands.

Here are some of my favorite pictures during this month.....

Family Heirloom

In October we headed down to visit Bill's Aunt Tish and Uncle Mike. They asked us if we were interested in having a crib that had been in their family for many, many years! I was instantly honored to have it and I had not even laid an eye on it yet. In the back of my mind I was really hoping Bill would say yes because he wanted to look at it first. So we went to the garage and saw this crib. It was brown and very old! I fell in love with it! I knew a little sanding and some white paint it would look brand new!

Like I said this crib had been in teh Daly Family for a long time. They are not 100% sure where and when this crib came into the family but we do know that Bill's Uncle Mike, which is Tim's oldest brother slept in it this crib when he was a baby. I thought that was exciting, but then I found out Tim (Paige's Grandpa) slept in this crib as well! I was thrilled! THEN, I found out this was the same crib BILL slept in!!! Yes! I was over the moon on this one!!!  Once I heard that I said well take it! How perfect to have this special gift in her room for her to put her stuff animals and dolls in!

Bill worked very hard to restore this crib and here is Paige for the first time seeing the crib in her room!

She absolutely loved it!!!

Thanks Daddy for my crib to play with!!

I am on a mission to find a picture of Bill in this crib! Once I do I will post it!!

Daly Family Pictures 2011

The Daly's have not taken family pictures in years.

We headed to Prospect Park in Redlands for some family pictures!

Here are some of my FAVORITE pictures that we took!

PINTEREST.... My New Obsession!!

SOOOO... Michelle got me hooked on a new website called Pinterest. Its a site that people post different crafts, recipes, ideas, pretty much anything you can think of! It is got me into crafting these past few weeks! I thought I would share what I have recently made!!!

Vinyl Blocks for my Bookcase!

Thanks to Steph for the blocks, vinyl, and the scrapbook paper, I made a Thanksgiving decoration!

All I did was use paint the blocks. Once they were dry I sanded them down to have a distress type look. then I used Modge Podge to glue the scrapbook paper down and then added some vinyl lettering and there you have a simple yet cute decoration for your shelf. Don't forget to add the ribbon!!

Turn my Thanksgiving around and there you have Christmas!!!

Paige's new I <3 You Because Frame now sits on her dresser in her room.

All I did was buy a White Picture Frame. Printed out the I love you because and did the line on a paper. Put it in the frame and with a dry eraser marker I am able to write the reasons why I love Paige on a daily basis. This was EXTREMELY EASY!!!

Paige's new Bow Board! I did not have a bow board yet for Paige so I searched Bow Boards on Pinterest and a Magnet Board popped up. I thought Hmmm... I have something like that already... i wonder if it would work. Soooo... I took this Magnet board that I received as a Baby Shower gift from Dana and Jan. I painted the frame white, added Paige's name with Vinyl letterings, glued magnets to the frame and put magnets on the magnetic part and there you have a very handy, yet very cute Bow Board!!!

Paige has ZERO hats for the winter and I had seen someone post on Pinterest Knit Hats. SO I decided to explore and found how to make them. They were super easy once I got the hang of it. I also made the bows!! I put Velcro on the hat as well as the back of the bows so I can coordinate the hats and bows to whatever Paige is wearing! and then I thought the bows were too cute that I made extra ones to put on her headbands!!! Now Paige's head can be warm during the cold nights!!!

And here you have all of my new crafts!!! There is more to come... that's for sure!!!!

More Veggies and Fruits Please!

Paige is continuing to try new fruits and veggies! This time around we tried more veggies then fruits. Paige has now tried Broccoli, Sweet Potatoes, Corn and Pears. Paige loved the Sweet Potatoes and Corn.... Broccoli... Not so much but she will eat it!

On October 20th Paige tried Pears...

Paige's 1st bite....

Hmm... not sure...

Still thinking... and I think I think Pears!

On October 31st Paige tried Broccoli. It was hilarious! She did not like the taste at first. She gaged the whole time she ate it. I only gave her half and ice cube. I didnt want to torcher her too much! This was Paige's 1st Bite!

Really Mom?

This is HORRIBLE!! Give me some WATER!!!

Paige excited to try Sweet Potatoes on November 2nd. She is hoping this tastes better then the broccoli...

first bite....

Thinking about this veggies....

Yep Mom... that was a good choice!!!

Paige wanting more! (p.s this is the way she waves now)

On November 6th, Paige tried Corn....

you can't tell by the look on her face, but Paige loved her corn!!!

Paige has done great with trying new foods! Dr. Sheth said I can start her on meats at 7 months.... I'm kind of grossed out about the thought of having to puree meat... but a mom has to do what a mom has to do =0)
