Paige | 18(ish) months

Well, it's been quite a while since I've shown up around here. It's probably because I've been busy and lazy and I've been pretty horrible at taking pictures. And to be honest, who wants to read a blog post without pictures? Not me, so I'm assuming not anybody else either! (Also, because I'm lazy, I didn't take the time to edit these pictures, so I apologize for that)

But Paige is 18(ish) months old. Meaning she's still 17 months but so close to 18 months and I forgot to do a 17 month old post. Whatever.

But this age is my favorite and sort of my least favorite at the same time.. She has this super cool & hilarious personality that we love so much. But, she also throws tantrums and food and whines a lot. She runs around all day laughing and can finally tell us what she wants for the most part! So here's some fun things about her:

She loves ice. She can easily get into the freezer and grab herself some ice and just walking around the house sucking on it (teething at its finest, ladies and gentlemen). She loves being chased around. I'll usually crawl around on the ground and she just runs around laughing like it's the funniest thing. She still loves dancing. She's constantly bringing me the remote to turn on Pandora for her to dance to ha!

She can officially climb onto things which is adorable and terrifying at the same time. There was one time when I sat her in her booster seat at the table for lunch and ran to fold some laundry. I heard yelling and crying from the other room and she had climbed out onto the table and couldn't get down!  But it's really fun for her (and me!) to climb up on the coffee table and jump/fall off into my arms. She waves at everyone and everything she sees and refuses to stop until you wave back or get out of her view. She loves dogs, birds, cars, and people so much.

She loves cameras and looking at pictures of herself (which makes it super hard to get a picture where she isn't running towards the camera) and will just walk around the house with my phone taking pictures of the top of her forehead because she hasn't figured out how to get her entire face in the picture ;)

Of course, there are the tantrums and hitting and kicking and teething crankiness of it all, but the good days outweigh the bad in a big way. We love her and we wouldn't trade having her around for anything in the world!
