Another Major Update

I'm really going to try to do better, especially since we're not taking as many pictures, or we are, but just taking longer to get them on flickr. The pictures can only say so much about how amazing little Paige is. I know every parent gushes over their child -- and we are no different =)

I'll try to fill everyone in on her milestones .. and hopefully I'll get around to adding them to her Baby's First Year Calendar as well.

Paige is still doing great with C who keeps her while I'm in class or working at the hospital. Paige loves the interaction with C's two children who are 1 and 2.5 y.o. I like that she isn't around a bunch of infants doing the same things they're doing, but around older kids getting more interaction. =)

On 1/27 - she put herself to sleep twice. I don't remember how long she slept, but it was a step in a good direction! =)

On 1/30 - she spent her first all day with daddy - she gave him a run for his money at times, but they both survived and enjoyed the time together =)

The last couple of weeks of Jan. she was finding her fingers and intentionally sucking them more often - which meant mommy and daddy had to step up their game of intervention with paci =)
She also started blowing bubbles more - so cute!

The first week of February she began to pay more attention to mommy's shirt designs while nursing and would play with the shirt while eating.

For Valentine's weekend - Michael surprised us with a trip to the Inn on Biltmore Estate. He planned it while mommy was at clinical and we left right after mommy took a shower after getting home =)

Paige slept through the night on 2/19 and 2/20 from about 8-6 or 7 each night, which meant mommy woke up very sore. She's tried a few more times, but doesn't usually make it past about 4am.

On 2/25, she rolled from her tummy to her back for the first time. She's done it only a couple times since. She can hold her head up well, but hates tummy time, so we don't make it last too long.

We have been borrowing the Bumbo from C and she usually likes sitting in that for a while.

Around the time she turned 4 months we let her try some banana because she acted very interested. She liked it alot and so every now and then we left her have a taste. Mommy also let her try some oatmeal on 3/20 which she also enjoyed =)

We just got back this morning from a trip to Cincinnati to see Michael - which makes her 3rd? plane trip with a total of about 8 times on a plane I think. She loves it for the most part. She usually sleeps and has only cried on a couple of them. Most people comment on how great she does and some have even said they forgot a baby was on board because she hardly made any noise =)
