• Still size 2 diapers and 3-6 mo clothes

Smiling at Russell:

Paige is really not on any schedule. The only thing I can count on is that she goes to bed around 7. She wakes up 1-2 times per night, and is usually up for the day between 6 and 7 am. Nap times are still all over the place, but she always naps in a crib. Sometimes it’s a crib at church and sometimes it’s at a friend’s house, but she will not nap if she’s not in a crib – she just stays up and fusses.

She is nursing about 7 times a day (I just had to count that to figure it out), which includes the nighttime feedings.

Paige is drooling all over the place! I know from experience that teeth are probably still a few months away.

I have not mentioned this on the blog yet (for no real reason), but Paige does have a small hemangioma on the top of her head – you can see it in the first picture. It poses no problems for her. Our doctor said it may get a little bigger during the first year, then start to shrink, and will be gone by the time she is 6 at the latest.

These days, Paige is loving:

• her bouncer
• being carried/held
• being in the Baby Bjorn and Beco carriers
• grabbing and chewing on her toys
• her pink activity mat (she likes it much better than the bigger blue one we have)
• being sung to
• looking at my surprise faces – they make her laugh almost every time

Love our Paigey!
