TGIF!
Happy Friday! Today Paige started clapping! It was SO cute! Lindsay and I started singing the Hokey Pokey, and at the end of the verse where you clap and sing, "That's what it's all about" Paige watched us and then started clapping too! It was soooo cute! I did it a few more times and every time, she clapped! I couldn't believe it! Did I mention that she is so cute??

Milestones
Yesterday Paige pushed herself up to a sitting position from laying on her belly. She did it so smoothly I almost didn't realize she had done something new!
AND - Chris claims that she took two small crawling steps last night trying to get Zoe. Of course, I don't believe it because I didn't see it. :) But it is surely coming soon! Time for some serious childproofing.

Oh so TIRED
Paige has been waking up around 5 am since the weekend. We don't have a CLUE what is going on! She does have a cold, which probably has something to do with it, but why the same time everyday? It is too weird. And of course we don't want LINDSAY up too at 5 am, so we rush right in and shush her instead of letting her talk in there for a bit. In general she is not waking up happy though, she definitely seems like she is calling for us...
On a funnier note, I bought her a crib toy yesterday. It has a feature where you pull on a cord and it makes music and lights and a little mouse goes around and around. Well, I haven't really seen Paige play with too many toys where she has to actually purposely pull or push something, so I didn't think much of it. So about 5 minutes after we put her up to bed, did we not hear music coming from her monitor?!? I thought ok, she kicked it by accident or something. I continue to hear music and now I hear her 'talking' too. I go up to her room and peek in - and is she not just laying there, with the cord in her HAND, pulling it over and over to get the music going! I couldn't believe it! What a stinker! Plus she had to turn her body upside down to the opposite end of the crib to do this! That girl is motivated. Needless to say, I took it out immediately. :)
I think she needs some more advanced toys than the bunch of teething toys we have for her!!!

Childproofing
We need to start childproofing for Paige.
Yesterday I left her alone with her toys in the living room for a few minutes (up until now a safe option) and when I came back she had rolled halfway across the room and was laying right next to some little pieces of CHALK for Lindsay's chalkboard. I rushed over and checked her mouth, but by some luck, had not grabbed and eaten one that I could see, although she grabs and eats everything! Whew.
Then she was in her high chair, not strapped in (we never had this need with Lindsay), and Lindsay went over there and proceeded to take the tray off and announce, 'Hey Mommy, I took this off!". Well it was the only thing holding Paige in and she could have fallen right out. AHHHHHHHH! I rushed over and nothing happened, thankfully.
It's going to be hard to pay attention to all this stuff. Eeeck!

We're Home!
Back from the beach! And everyone in one piece! Although it was close with Lindsay and Hope a few times....
Just kidding. A great time was had by all. We were SUPER busy! And although our condo was right on the beach, we really didn't spend much time on the actual beach. Turns out sand is a pain in the butt where little kids are concerned. Actually, Lindsay still wanted nothing to do with the ocean. I think it was partly my fault - I tried to make it fun with the waves chasing us, but that scared her! It was a lot of new things all at once for her, she did well, but you could tell her brain was about to start smoking. LOL. She did at least enjoy playing in the sand for a while this year.
Some of the things we did: Beach, indoor pool, outdoor pool, park/playground, boardwalk with merry-go-round ride and games, ate funnel cake and ice cream, geocached, went out to dinner twice, out to breakfast once, and saw wild horses. Whew! I'm sure I didn't even cover it all. All the adults managed to fit exercise in too almost every day. The weather was sunny and warm every single day.
We were so busy I didn't get to take a lot of pictures. I do have a few though that I will post when we download them. It turns out that Paige is a little smarty and starts smiling and posing every time we have the camera out. It is hilarious.
