Change.

Our lives the last month can be summed up in one word... CHANGE!

We bought our first house. We LOVE it! Paige and the pups love it the most I think. It's been big change going from a one-bedroom guest house to a 3 bedroom, two bath house with a backyard. We are all moved in except for hanging decorations. Here are some pictures of a few of the done rooms:

MORE CHANGE FOR PAIGE

Paige is now 8 months old!

Formula:
I dreaded the day I would not be able to nurse my sweet little girl anymore. Selfishly, I know I held out too long. I knew my supply was drastically going away and fast but I still held on to our special bond. She was hungry, grumpy and whiney after I would feed her but I still hung on. Finally, on Monday Nov. 17th, I forced myself to be strong enough to switch her to formula and let me tell you... it's been AMAZING! Sure I miss nursing her... like a lot! but it has been like we have a new/different baby in the house. She sleeps all night, takes at least 2, 2-hour naps every day without crying, she hardly ever fusses. We are loving formula fed Paige so far! 

Baby Food:
She pretty much eats anything and everything now
I make all of Paige's baby food :) she currently likes:
Butternut Squash
Sweet Potatoes
Rutabaga 
Mango
Cauliflower 
Prunes
Banana

Least Favorite:
Green beans. The only thing she will try to spit out but still will eat.


Mobile Status:
Crawls. 
This baby is on the move ALL day!
Stands. 
She pulls herself up on everything and can stand on her own for a good 5 seconds before falling down. She gets extremely proud of herself!



Her 5 current "loves":


1. She loves having her own bathtub with toys


2. She loves to lick EVERYTHING


3. She loves other babies


4. She loves when other people feed her




5. She loves her mom and dad's bed



And more pictures, just because she's adorable :)
