Changes in 2010

I am trying to keep with some New Years Resolutions this year so I changed/updated the look and title of this blog. Its hard to believe I started this blog before we knew if Paige was a boy or a girl and here we are already coming up on her 1 year birthday next month.

Here are some of my resolutions/goals:
1) Lose at least 20 pounds before September
2) Create a will with Hubby
4) Try to become a more positive person
5) Create new and exciting memories and traditions with my beautiful daughter

It's Paige's world we just live in it:)



Its been a busy couple of months that is for sure. I cant believe Christmas and New Years is over and done with already. The holidays are so much more exciting now that we have a little one to share it with. Paige is doing great right now. She is on the verge of walking any day now. She creeps all over the house by holding onto different pieces of furniture and toys. She can stand on her own unassisted for longer periods of time and she is getting very brave. Any day now she is going to let go and just start walking:) She also scoots on her butt when sitting down to get to where she needs to go. She took after her month and never crawled which I think it hysterical. At first I was obsessing about this and why she wasn't following the What to Expect the First Year milestones to a tee. But finally I realized she is her own person and she will do everything when ready. I remember over the summer when DH's aunt was watching her for us. She has 4 kids of her own and we often call her the guru because she has pretty much tackled everything when it comes to kids. Anyway at that point I happened to be stressing because I didn't think Paige was vocal enough at 6months. After expressing my concern she loving looked at me and said "Courtney they all walk and talk by the time they go to pre-school." At the time it didn't mean much but I often go back to that statement. It is SO true. I realized she is her own person and will do what she wants when she is ready. I will not push her to crawl if she prefers to scoot on her butt:) And as for being vocal well lets just say my house is filled with MANY LOUD noises coming from her all day long HAHAHA


Her ears continue to be a problem. We saw an ENT and decided tubes are the best option SO she will have the surgery 1/21/10. I realize we literally have no other option at this point but I worry for her and don't ever want her to feel pain. I pray everything will go fine and she will recover quickly.
