Walking more.. Almost 11 months

I had to jump on here real fast to let all our friends and family know that Paige is walking soo much more within the last month. She is on the move and will for sure we walking 100% by her bday (I am pretty sure).
She is a little wobbly still but is a mover... She gets going pretty fast sometimes so doesn't make it real far before falling but when she slowes down and takes her time she is across the room all on her own :) Makes me so proud but sad that she is getting so big and now I will really be into trouble because there is no stopping her then. lol!
I just wanted to share that, I am so proud of her.

Update

Hi everyone... I am finally getting on my blog it get it somewhat updated. I have been soo overly busy have been lucky to get a shower lol!

Here is what has been going on.. I posted about the backyard on going project we are working on down below. Also posted about Paiges Easter.

Here is what else we have been doing.. Ben is now working closer to home which has been so nice. He is home way faster then before and we are saving a lot in gas. Yayyy!!! Plus he gets to slend a lot more time with Paige and I.

Paige is getting more teeth all the time, She currently has 8 and feels like she is starting some in the back. She has been a handful the last week with being in pain and chewing everything she can get her hands on so I am pretty sure they are going to be breaking thru anytime. She is crawling all over the place and crewsing furniture more and faster, she has taken 2 steps on her own off of our ottoman so she is showing all the sign of wanting to walk soon. We are thinking she may be walking by her birthday but we will see.. She is starting to get her own attitude "I guess you would call it" maybe personality is a better word for it, she is showing that she is mad when she doesn't get her way or what she wants. It is pretty interesting.

She is showing us how smart she is, She know and says "Ball", "Please", Bye Bye", "Hi", "Mommy", "Daddy", "Duck (But she says :uck", It is sooo cute) she pats her legs or objects, Blowes kisses, gives hugs, raises one eyebrow (Just like her mom, haha), Plays animal games on my phone, looks thru books, etc.. these are some of the things I can think of right off the top of my head, I'm sure there are a lot more.

She is great!! Love her and would not change staying home with her for anything!!

Well I need to go make dinner so I will get back on hopefully in a few days and be able to add more things that I have not been able to in a while.



Paiges first Easter

Paiges first Easter with the Easter Bunny was fun. They had an event at our community park to meet the bunny and a hunt and a few crafts for the older kids. She was not 100% about the bunny but never cried so that is good. :) She had a lot of fun picking up the eggs on the hunt though.. Love her so much.

Backyard Progress

Backyard hard work has begun.... Hoy construction is our contractor. They came out and dug the hill out out so we can start doing a block wall. Hoy is going to do the first two rows of blocks and then we are going to build the rest to help save money. From the time Hoy finished the first 2 rows of both walls we actually made awesome time we got both walls build in a week. We kicked ass!! Had a few friends come over and help and knocked it out.

Then after we got it all done and Ben rented a ditch witch and got all the trenches all done to do Electric for the spa and Gas line for the bbq and sprinklers for the grass.

Then after the trenches were done then Hoy came back and did the forms and concrete.

Then we did the palm trees just the day after the concrete.

It has been a lot of work and sweating out butts off, but it is all coming along and hoping to have it all done for Paiges bday party in June.

Cetching up finally...

Okay I got my computer back.. so I have been posting all the newest photos from Christmas till now, a little out of order but at least they are one here, right? lol!
Paige is 7 1/2 months old now.. she has been still trying to crawl, doing everything but the full crawling. haha.. it will be very soon. Here's a video of her trying. (getting ready for a bath)

Ben stated a new position at his station, doing a-detective for a year which we are both so excited about.. he is having a fun time doing something different and he is home more then he has ever been which I LOVE! He gets to see Paige more which is really nice for both of them too, she seems like sometimes if she doesn't see him much it takes her a while to warm back up to him which I know if hard on him.

Paige has tooth number 4 breaking through, so she has more grouchy days then happy ones right now because I think all 4 of her top teeth are coming in at the same time so shes uncomfortable I'm sure. Teething tablets have been a life saver though.

It has been so awesome staying home with Paige, some days I wish that I was working again to get that break, but I love every moment spent with her, watching her grow up.. makes me a little sad how fast they really do grow, its crazy.

Well I will be updating this more often again, now that I have our computer back and I can.

Hope everyone has a great day.
