...happy new year!

our girl paige is officially 4 months old...wow she is growing fast!

this is a little outfit from grandma paula...it is so cute and even has a bunny in the pocket.



thanks gigi marlene for my new sweater! i look so cute!
a christmas extravaganza...
hanging with daddy...
...and mommy!

we spent a few days after christmas with the panfilio crew! we had a great visit and soaked up a lot of quality time...we don't get to see them very often...so it was really nice. lots of good food, great gifts, laughter, a few movies, games and plenty of good conversation. we loved having everyone in our new home and sharing paige's first christmas together.

auntie shannon & uncle kevin
uncle kevin loves paige...just loves her!

falling asleep with granddad randyit's a bird, it's a plane...it's super paige!

auntie shannon & grandma paula had so much fun with paige- doesn't she look like a doll in this outfit! we were lucky to get some "hand-me-downs" from jessica manoukian (quite possible one of the best dressed little girls i have ever met)! thank you jessica!
saying goodbye was so sad...gigi only got to be here one day...hope to see you all again soon.


we spent a few days before christmas with the morse clan...complete with izzy & rusty!

paige must be thinking...."how did i get into this family?"

aunt fifi loves this girl....she is a baby whisperer...always lulling paige to sleep!
paige is talking up a storm these days! she can jabber on & on for ten minutes or more!

family time, spit-up girl, goth baby & new friends...

grandma paula & auntie shannon came to visit last weekend. we had a great time! we wish we all lived closer so we could see each other more often.

paige has aaron & shannon's long eyelashes- i'm so jealous. they all have the same profile as well. it was fun to see them all together and see the resemblances.

"i think i like my new hat..."

"...then again maybe not!" (too bad because mommy loves it!)
paige got spoiled with new clothes, a new quilt and new stocking (plus a few other things)!

grandma paula drove down in her new sports car!

it was sad saying good bye- but we will see the whole panfilio fam at christmas...so we have that to look forward to at least!

since paige is growing so fast i have put her in new clothes everyday and taken pictures. half the time she spits up all over them as soon as i remove her bib...in fact it is like clock work. her 11 week picture i had just removed her bib and said out loud "okay paige, now that i took off your bib you should spit up all over your cute outfit." well she is apparently a great listener because she did...three huge hurls all over her cute little duds...so we took a picture of it, (see below) wiped it off and got a few more shots.

the spit-up girl!
"what...what did i do?"




dancing with daddy...in fact he likes to make me levitate...


she loves her new monkey from braelyn!





paige loves to play under this thing- today she played for almost an hour today!


this is one of my favorite outfits on her (from auntie joanne....makenna's gigi)





goth baby...aaron tried using the red-eye fill-in feature on the camera and this is what it came up with. we thought it was so funny that we saved it that way!



yes- she kinda looks like a boy...but i love her in red. i guess i just need to get a red bow or something!

another one of paige's new friends was born! isn't she cute! Braelyn Nelson (daughter of our good friends jeff & amorah) was born on October 28th and was 8lbs 20z & 19.5" long (very similar to paige). we are very excited that among aaron, jeff and matt so far they all have daughters...they can comiserate with one another when the teenage years hit! pretty fun to be having our little girls at the same time...I'm sure elsie will enjoy telling carson, paige and braelyn what to do when they are old enough to listen! braelyn sent paige a monkey...hmmm...i wonder what paige will send braelyn!
