She's a mover and a shaker ...

Paige is getting more and more mobile. This morning when I went in to get her up, her head was where her feet had been last night when I put her to bed ... and she was laying on her belly. I think she's also becoming attached to a blanket one of my co-workers made for her and a "lovie" bear that she got for Christmas. She grabs for both of them when we lay her down in her crib. When I checked on her last night before I went to bed she had the blanket up to her chin and the lovie over her eyes. All you could see of her were two little feet sticking out the end. It was pretty cute.

Some quick facts about Miss Paige ...

  • Weight and height ... we'll find out in a week at her six month appointment. Yes, my baby will be six months just one week from today. :(
  • Food ... She LOVES her solids and most days could care less about her bottle. She's eating bananas, sweet potatoes, pears, peaches and green beans (usually mixed in with cereal). She's also been eating the little puff cereal pieces that melt in her mouth. She does pretty well with them. She's not eating near enough from the bottle (compared to what the "experts" say she should be getting at least). I'd say she's getting about 20 ounces max (this is mostly for my own records).
  • Favorites ... her favorites include "Rae" (a stuffed little bunny that she soaks the ears by sucking/chewing on), her brother, her jumperoo, and her blanket and lovie in her crib.
  • Personality ... This girl is always happy. She's smiling when she wakes up and she's smiling as we lay her down for the night. THIS SAID, we've seen what could be the start of a Zahradnik influence on her temperment ... when she makes up her mind on something, she wants it NOW ... and if she doesn't get what she wants she sticks out the bottom lip and gives you a look that let's you know you better please her soon. And I thought this only ran though the Zahradnik boys. :)
  • Tooth update ... Still only the bottom two!
  • Movement ... She's rolling over all the time from her back to her belly and while she can roll the opposite, she doesn't very often. Instead she fusses until mom or dad come and roll her back over to her back. She is getting closer to sitting up. She's lost that reflex to push back and will sit up if you support her.

So there is the quick rundown on Miss Paige.
