Happy Birthday !!!!!

Today is Paige's first birthday. I can not believe that she is one already. She has grown so much in the 12 weeks that she has been home. We know her birthmother is thinking of her today. I hope she is doing well, and wish she knew how thankful we are for this beautiful little girl she gave to us.. she is truly a gift and we know how lucky we are.
It is amazing how much Paige is doing now. Here are highlights of what she is doing.
* Eats everything- pretty much.
* Still sleeps from 7pm- 7 am.
* Starting to take naps during the day( usually around 11 and then again at 3:30.
* Started milk last week. Seems that she likes it but we have to serve it to her warm.
* Still giving her 4 oz of formula at night- just because.
* Walking like crazy... each day she walks more and more...
* Knows the things she is not supposed to do and when she is doing them, turns to me and goes "MAAMAAA" with a big smile on her face.
* She loves Mystic our dog.
* She loves to dance.
* Does itsy bitsy spider with her fingers.
* When she wants to be tickled she moves her fingers like I am tickling her.
* bites me very hard- What's up with that?
* sits on her princess car the right way and actually gets it to move.
* does not stop moving from the minute she gets up til she goes to bed.
* Likes to watch Sesame Street (I can get 5 minutes of standing still for that)
* gives the sweetest kisses and hugs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY PRINCESS!!!! WE LOVE YOU FOREVER!!

Tomorrow we are baptizing her. We are having a really big party to celebrate both her Christening and her first birthday.
