Other than her ability to outgrow clothes at an accelerated pace, Paige is also able to do all the things that she's supposed to do, plus many more. She "talks" with lots of sounds and "plays" with the numerous toys we present her with. Of course, her "playing" is more of an activity in getting the thing in her hand into her mouth, but we'll call it playing. She can now jam her entire hand into her mouth at one time, something that will probably prove to be a fun party trick for her over the years if she keeps up with the practice.
Izzy is starting to enjoy Paige a little bit more now that she realizes the benefits to living with a baby that has reflux...a never ending supply of spit-up on the couch, the carpet, the kitchen floor, our clothes, etc. We, of course, see the benefit to having a dog that is willing to "clean up" all spit-up spots for us. Paige has finally started to notice that Izzy and Burrito exist and she'll stare at them and attempt to grab them as they walk by. She still hasn't quite mastered her grab though and so she typically ends up with air in her hand and the dog is long gone by the time she actually closes her fingers...So basically, to sum up, Paige is on the path to greatness and will most likely continue to add cute and fun things to her ever expanding portfolio of tricks. We do not hide the fact that we are enamored with our little girl and everything she does (eh, we could do without the crying sometimes). Next month we look forward to the possibility of Paige clasping her hands together or doing something wildly accelerated for her age. Would it be too soon to start creating a resume of her activities for her UVA application?
