Paige Elizabeth

My friend Briar did it again. She took some amazing photos of Paige for us. If you don't remember her work, you can click here to see the pictures she took of Addison. Briar has such patience and some how makes Paige look more precious than she already is. Thank you Briar!!!

I love my baby girl. She is such a mellow, content baby. She is still in her baby coma or else she just REALLY likes to sleep. We are still trying to get a routine down, but we can count on Paige being awake and alert for a couple of hours in the evening, right before bedtime. She is starting to have a routine in the middle of the night for feedings. She has woken up at the same time for the past three nights. Hopefully once we have the nightly routine down, we can start working on a daily routine.

We have learned that Paige really likes having her feet rubbed (what girl doesn't?). She also likes to have her head rubbed too. I would like to say that she likes it when I attack her with kisses, but I'm not sure she does. I think she tolerates me. She is getting really good at grasping my fingers. She always has a hand under her face when she sleeps. She will smile at me when I rub her cheeks. She LOVES her bath time. She doesn't like being cold, but she loves the warmth of the water. She is neutral about tummy time. I don't think she loves it, but she doesn't seem to hate it. I think she likes that her sister plays on the floor with her when she does her tummy time. She is getting pretty good at holding her head up. It is so much fun to see her growth and progress each day! I am so very blessed to have both Paige and Addison in my life!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture!










Addison is the best big sister. She is so much better with having Paige in our lives than I ever thought she would be. She loves to help out and play with her sister.
Paige is a lucky little girl to have Addison as her big sister!

I love the sixth picture. So so cute! I also love the last one of Paige. And, I love that Addi is actually smiling in her picture. (I don't mean that she never smiles; I just like to see her real smile instead of her "happy" face sometimes.)

Paige looks just like the drawing Addi did of her adorable family!

Such beautiful little girls!

Beautiful pictures, I love them! She has such a chubby belly, I love it! You are so lucky to have two pretty babies :)

These photographs belong in a baby magazine or up on a huge billboard or at the very least, on the front cover of the next Babies R Us flier! Wow, are they cute!

Addison is going to be a very special big sister, I can tell. So, so sweet :)

Mwaaaah, she is so cute! I'm glad she likes to sleep. Now she just needs to take all that sleep and do it at night! But it sounds like she is on her way. How are you holding up, mama?

Congratulations on your adorable family.

She is so cute. Briar did a good job. You and Randy did even a better job at making such a dang cute baby.
