8 months of pure sweetness

Sometimes I just want to eat this girl. She is pure enjoyment for our family.

At 8 months:
She has one little (sharp!) tooth that she got at the beginning of February.
She is sooooo close to crawling she can hardly stand it.
She will eat pretty much anything she is offered.
She loves snuggling her blankets up to her face for naptime and bedtime... and she was sleeping through the night like a champ (what happened, Paigey-girl??)
She is chunkalicious!
She is completely in love with her big brother and big sister!
She loves to give and recieve loves.
She's loves to squeal like her big sister!
She's right-handed.
She's got Daddy (and Mommy) wrapped around her little finger.

She is so sweet and precious and she inspires me to be a better mother to her and to Kaden and Lindy. Sometimes when I am not being the nicest or most patient mommy with Kaden and Lindy, I'll look over at her looking at me as if she were saying, "Mom, it's okay" or "Mom, that's not the real you." She has this look of unconditional love in her eyes and smile that help me remember who I can be.

We love you Paigey-baby!

Oh!! I know the feeling! Babies give off the beautiful spirit! They are like Heavenly Fathers hidden cameras that remind us to be better mothers! I guess that is why we love them so much!
Yes we live in Mary's house, and I love it! It is nice and open and I can't wait for summer time to enjoy the backyard more!
I hope all is well with you! Are you coming to visit anytime soon!?
