it's been a while...

So, it's been a bit more challenging to keep up with this blog than I thought. I kind of knew it would be like this, but hey one less thing for you all to read, right? Paige is now 13 months! Wow! Forget chronicling the milestones of eating solid food, crawling and sleeping without being swaddled! Forget pulling up to stand, saying her first words or taking her first step! She's now walking and saying about six words or so. It's been so cool watching her develop not just in the way of growing up, but really developing a little personality. She is such a goof ball! (I don't know where she gets it from!)

As for me, I'm finally settling into more of a routine with her and getting to know the subtleties of her needs and finding it less overwhelming day by day. It used to be so challenging going out with her. We just didn't know what to do when she started crying while we were out getting groceries or supplies. And, now it's so much more pleasant and I can actually get things done from errands to doing the dishes and laundry! Yay! And, hence now I finally get a chance to write a few thoughts while she sleeps. Hope all is well with you, my friends.
