Sister Bath

This bathroom is kind of small with poor lighting, but we tried our best to capture the first sister bath.

5 Months Old... Yesterday

Wow, 5 months. Where to begin? Paige is grabbing onto everything now. While I nurse her, she really likes to hold my hand. It makes me melt. She has started "talking" more and does a very high-pitched squeal when she wants to have a conversation. She is still sleeping well through the night. We usually put her to bed around 8:30pm and most often have to wake her up at 7:30am to go to daycare. Sometimes she'll squeal in the middle of the night and Andrew will put her passie back in her mouth and she goes back to sleep without even a diaper change.

So many people tell us how much Paige looks like Claire, but frankly, we can only see the vast differences. Yes, we do think they look like siblings. Their eye shape is similar, but from the shape of their lips to their earlobes all we can see is the uniqueness of both of them. To check out Claire's 5 month photos, go to August 24, 2009 (or thereabouts) at the sidebar. The photo from August 29th is my absolute favorite baby picture of Claire. It's on my nightstand.

Claire loves being a big sister and shows Paige how to do everything from getting dressed (which she must do on her own) to going to the potty. She has been potty-trained for over a month now. We still have to work on the night-time potty use, but it has been such an amazing change not to change a 2.5 year old's diaper.

Cuties

Below are photos of Declan and Paige. Declan is one day shy of two months older than Paige. It was difficult to get a good picture of these cuties, but they sure were adorable during the "photo shoot."

First....and Second Rice Cereal

Paige tried rice cereal for the first time today.



We may have waited until she was too hungry, so I nursed her, and we tried again. She's still trying to figure out how to use her tongue while eating, but it was pretty cute.

First Time in a High Chair

We'll be feeding Paige rice cereal for the first time today, but I took some photos of her in the high chair for the first time last night. She's getting so big!
