Wigger, Party of 4 COMING......December 2009

We are having another baby! I just found out this week, and we are really excited. I cannot keep something like this a secret so we told everyone right away. My approximate due date is December 29, a holiday baby and here is a perk, another tax deduction. :) I will post pics as we start on this road!

Wow, it has been a long time

So I am pretty bad at keeping up with this blog, I hope people still check it. We are all doing well. Paige is now walking which Mike loves and I have a bitter sweet feeling about...She is now a toddler not a baby. It is amazing at how much babies learn in a year. I am so proud to be Paige's Mom and I love going out and having people tell me how cute and happy she is. Everyday is new with new challenges and rewards! I am so glad spring is coming and we can be outside more. Paige got a swing from Grandma and Grandpa Wigger for Christmas and she loves it. Here are a couple pictures of her in her swing. I think our girl will want to love outside this summer, fine with me, I can work on my tan while we play!!

Wow, it has been a long time

Baby Food or Finger Foods

So I love motherhood but lately I have been frustrated and I needed to vent. Paige is such a smart cookie and she is developing so well. We are trying to teach her to eat finger foods. We give her what we are eating in smaller pieces and she does do well with crackers and cheese but that is the end of that. She doesn't want anything else. I guess I am thinking it is just because she only has 4 teeth and I need to take a chill pill!!! Any suggestions anyone? We have done spaghetti, spaghettios, tortilla with melted cheese. bananas, grilled cheese. Many things!! Whew, beyond that I am so very thankful for a healthy and very happy baby, almost a 1 year old. We are going to get her pictures taken tomorrow, this will be interesting since she is now very mobile. The old she gets the more of a baby bug I get. We are still having a blast and pray for many more fun times together. Well there is my very long and confusing rant. :)

Almost Walking

Paige has been trying to walk! She is able to take about 4 steps on her own but we have realized that she is fearless. The girl will literally try to face dive off the couch without it even crossing her mind that she will smack her head. Needless to say we are watching her like a hawk and she is getting sneaky. We have her 12 month check up on her actual birthday, so Happy Birthday Paige, here are some more shots. LOL. Other than that not too much is new around here. We counted that we will be attending at least 5 weddings between June and October this year. We are looking forward to both of Mike's sisters getting married and Paige is a flower girl in both of their weddings. :) More to come soon, I promise.

I know it has been so long......

So I just wanted to let everyone know that Paige has been super smart lately and here are the things she has figured out.....

-How to cruise around furniture and walk behind her walking toy

-How to say Dad, Mom, Thanks, Paige, yes, no, cup, blocks, I think that is all for now.

-She is going through a semi anti-men stage which I am sure will pass.

-She has 4 teeth and is starting to give up a bottle but still won't eat a ton of finger foods but she'll get there.

We had a good Holiday season with family and friends and cannot wait to see what 2009 holds for our family. Here are some pics, hope you enjoy!

Thanksgiving 2008

And we have come upon another first in the life of Paige and the life of Mike and I as parents. Thanksgiving....

We went to the Hollebeek side of the family and had a nice Thanksgiving noon meal with immediate relatives. Paige was such a good girl and took almost a 2 hour nap while we were there, which is an hour and fifteen minutes longer than her usual nap. We then stopped home for a bit and went on to The Palma house for an extended Meyer Thanksgiving with Mike's cousins and their kids, along with Aunts and Uncles. Sam and Ben were in love with Paige and she with them and she was a gem and stayed up 2 hours past her bed time and was totally happy.

We are so thankful for so many things this year. At the top of our list is our families. My Dad is on the road to recovery and we are all Blessed by that! And every night before I go to bed, Mike will confirm this, I go into Paige's room and put my hand on her back to feel her breathing and am touched and warmed by the fact that God has blessed us with this little miracle each and every day!!!
