Christmas 2011

I know I am late on posting about Christmas but better late then never! This was Paige's first Christmas and I think Mommy was the most excited! We started off the Christmas Season by going to church Christmas Eve with The Dalys. Then we headed to Aunty Sandy's to celebrate Christmas Eve with the Alvarez's. We have always spent Christmas Eve with them for as long as I can remember. Grandma always makes tamales, rice, beans and yummy snacks. Christmas morning we spent the morning with Paige opening her presents from Mommy & Daddy and then headed to Grandma & Grandpa's for breakfast. We exchanged our gifts with the Dalys. Boy was Paige spoiled! In the afternoon we headed to Stephanie's & Greg's and enjoyed a very yummy, delish BBQ. Again we exchanged gifts! Paige was spoiked by them too. 

Although Paige had no idea what Christmas is or what it is about, she sure enjoyed EATING all of the wrapping paper!!! She was more interested in the boxes, bages, and paper. She was hilarious!

Here are some pictures from X-mas Eve and X-Mas Day.... Enjoy 

Paige is so excited to eat that paper.... Moe bought her this adorable Pig Beanie....

SANTA came to deliver presents....Everyone was excited to see him...

See... Paige was more interested in the bags then the actual gifts...

Christmas morning with the two loves of my life.... Paige was a little sleepy so daddy had to help her get started.... (Notice Paci is still in her mouth...)

Now she means business.... she threw paci and was ready to tear open that gift!

Daddy put together her pony immediately so she could ride it. I video tapped this and she fell off the first time Daddy put her on it.

8 months

Since I just posted her 7 month stats I will not post 8 month stats because nothing new really happened. There was a few mistakes in the 7 month post so I will fix it here. Paige started saying Dada during 7 months. She said Dada for the first time on 12/8/2011. She started eating Mandarian Oranges this month and mixed veggies this month. 

Sorry for the confusion! This is why I will keep up on her monthly posts!

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!!
