2 Weeks Already

Paige was 2 weeks this past Saturday and is still as sweet as pie!



Here is her birth announcement that was sent out last week. The pictures were taken when she was 5 days old. She already looks so different to me - crazy!



I LOVE seeing her name on paper! Wally and I agreed on the name Paige pretty quickly after we found out we were having a girl. This name wasn't even in the mix for us when I was in labor with Luke and didn't know if we were having a girl or a boy. We stayed open-minded throughout the remainder of this pregnancy though just in case another name came to us we liked better - nothing compared to Paige! The middle name Lauren is after my mom (Laurie).



Paige has a few 'nicknames' already. Luke refers to her as Baby Paige all the time. Wally calls her Paigey Paige and I have been calling her Paigey Poo after her poop "incident", but mostly she is just Paige or Paigey.

She is still a wonderful sleeper. Our routine hasn't changed much since week 1. She goes down between 9:30 and 10, wakes between 2-3 to eat and then again between 6-7.



She definitely is eating well and filling out. I stood on the scale with her today and she appears to be about 9 lbs. Luke gained 2 lbs. in his first month and Paige appears to be on her way there too!

Paige is becoming more and more vocal. She learned quickly to speak up for what she wants. Can't blame her. She isn't particularly needy at all, but when she wants to be held or fed, she'll let you know!

Just in these past few days, we have noticed that when she is awake she much prefers to be held or laying on the ground kicking around than placed in her swing or propped on the boppy on the bed.

The most popular comments we hear from people when they see her are:

"Look at her long fingers and toes."




"She has such long legs and arms."

"Look at all that hair."

"Those cheeks are so kissable."


She had her first taste of tummy time yesterday and didn't complain about it. She picked her head up once to move it from one side to the other and then just laid there contently. We will start slowly and increase the tummy time, but she is doing great with lifting her head when we are holding her. Such a strong girl already!



Love her to pieces!
