Paige Milestones

Paige continues to do great! I decided to wait until after our family photos to introduce her to any kind of milk products (the last thing we needed in the days leading up to our photos was for Paige to break out in a crazy rash!), and so far things are going well. She hates yogurt (Reese didn't mind eating all of her yogurt melts and baby yogurt cups for her), but likes cheese. We're slowly moving away from baby food since her pincher grasp is getting better, and unlike her sister she will eat just about anything we put in front of her. Ribs? Sure. Sweet potato? You bet. Avocado? Yes, please! You name it, she will try it and likely enjoy it. I know better than to hold my breath, though. I'm sure between one and two she'll be eating the tan-toddler-diet like Reese was.

Paige is almost crawling. I can't remember how old Reese was when she began to crawl, but I think she did it a little sooner than Paige. If Paige was my first kid I might be freaking out about her lack of mobility, but I can tell that she's just not in a hurry about things. I wouldn't dare say she has a type B personality, but I think she's on the A- side and is trying to teach her parents and sister how to relax. That being said, she's now getting up on her hands and knees and lunging toward things.

Last night at bedtime, Paige pointed for the first time. We were reading "Good Night Gorilla" and she pointed to the Gorilla on every page. How exciting!
