Wow, it's been almost six weeks since my last post...shame on me. We've had tons of drama going on with our move to the new home so this hasn't been high on the priority list recently. But now we're in the new house so I thought I'd catch up a little on Paige's updates.
We had Paige's first birthday party on August 16th and it was a very small affair, only family in attendance. My parents, Hannah and her family and Martha came down for the festivities so we hit double digits if you include Paige. We were surrounded by moving boxes but it didn't seem to get in the way of Paige enjoying her day. She was really cute with the presents, loved ripping the paper, especially the tissue paper. I made the mistake of tearing a huge piece off of the very large present from Hannah and this seemed to scare Paige and sent her into a meltdown. That was really the only thing that bothered her the whole day. As I suspected, she did not touch her cupcake so we have no cute pictures with frosting all over her face. Oh well, that was to be expected. She had on a really cute dress and looked adorable. I'll try to post pics on the blog in the next few days for those of you who haven't seen them on Facebook.
She also went to her 12 month appointment at the pedi and all was well there. She was almost 22 pounds (63%), 30 inches (79%) and I forget the head size but it was 85%. I had no idea her head was that big. The dr was shocked to hear that she's such a bad eater given her size so I guess I have nothing to worry about there. She had her worst reaction yet to the shots, spiking a 103 fever the next morning and was completely inconsolable for most of that next day. Other than that, it was a pretty standard appointment. I guess the other good news were her ears looked great, with no fluid or anything else to report.
I guess that covers the recent events since my last post. We're settling into the new home and Paige loves to scoot all over the huge amount of space we have now compared to the old house. She constantly climbs the stairs from bottom to top so I have to keep a close eye on her as soon as I see her heading in that direction. Time to get some gates up! Well, stay tuned for updated pictures and I'll try to update more frequently now that we have all of this other drama behind us.
