The One Where 2010 Is Coming To An End

As usual, we've had quite the year!

Obviously, the highlight of this year was delivering Paige and watching her grow up, but we've had some other highlights of the year.

This year, we've had...
2 poops in the tub (by Paige, of course...)
3 close family weddings
4 sinus infections
9 diaper blowouts (I really think we got lucky in this area, I've heard of people getting lots more)
13 completed crafts
15 walks with Paige in her stroller
24 doctor visits between the three of us
31 trips to the swings at the end of our street (about)
53 blog posts
and...
hundreds of dollars saved from coupons :)

I think it's been a good year.

Happy New Year!

The One Where Santa Came!

Rick's sweet mom got Santa to come to her house so that Paige, and some other young children in the family could see him, and so we could get pictures. Paige loved him, I'm excited to see how she acts every year with him.



She's already testing his beard! Little miss smarty pants...



And here's our Christmas card, for those of you who I didn't have your address.


We hope you all have a great Christmas!

Can you believe it's 2 days away!?!?

My 2010 Year

FB has an application that will take a chunk of your statuses from the past year and put them all together. It was kind of fun to read over what's been on my mind over the past year. I'm sure if you click on it it will be larger.

The One Where She's Already 9 1/2 Months Old

We've I've been kind of bored this week, so we I decided to pull out the camera (surprised?).

I took her for her 9 month checkup and she's still 90th% in height (I know, you're surprised again), and her poor little head is still in the bottom 5th%. At least she's consistent.

I tried to get a cute picture of our Apple Bottom cheap skinny jeans and boots with the fur, but it's really hard to get the picture you want with a timer. This was the best try.


Our washer and dryer are in our kitchen. I know, it's kind of odd. I needed to do some laundry though, so I pulled out a bowl and a spoon, showed her how to make fun noises, and off she went. She had a blast. We'll have to pull them out again.





One of Rick's cousins has been so nice to let us borrow some of her daughter's cute clothes. We decided to play dress up and she was lookin too cute not to take a few pictures.


If you see a lot of my pictures (on blogger or fb) you'll see a few pictures where her mouth has a vertical line in it. Don't be alarmed, it's just her tongue (well actually it's her frenulum (say: fren-yuh-lum) just in case you were wondering) touching the roof of her mouth. She likes to click her tongue and sometimes just smile like this without clicking...


I have no idea if this is normal or not, but she is still super flexible and likes to do this...


She does it the most in the tub for some reason, so I have some pictures of that, but I figured 15 year old Paige wouldn't appreciate her awesome mom putting nekked baby pictures on the internet for anyone and everyone to see. :)
