Our Silly 17 Month Old!


It has been a fun month! Page went to the night of lights event and was able to ride a pony and go on a carriage ride! Page got to meet Santa for the first time, went to two birthday parties, and had fun at the McCormick Ranch Train Park! The most fun of all was the fun she had celebrating Christmas with family and enjoying all of her wonderful gifts!

Molars 3 and 4 arrived earlier this month and Page is only taking one nap during the day. Page saw her cardiologist, got her second flu shot, and this months synagis injection. Unfortunately, Page spent a large portion of the month sick. She had some sort of upper respiratory virus. She went to the pediatrician twice, got a chest xray to rule out pneumonia, had many breathing treatments, and got throat and nasal swabs. This resulted in weight loss and a relapse of night time eating. Page is finally feeling better so we are trying to get back on track. Being sick is no fun!

Page is quite the dancer & can walk for miles without getting tired. She is quite the talker, when she wants to be. A few new words include...I did, off, over, Dora, and jacket. Page has become interested in playing with different textures. She loves to color and has been having fun with play-doh, water, and sand. Page especially enjoys playing with cause & effect electronics...turning the lights off & on is a favorite!

Our little sweetie is getting so big! Its hard to imagine she is already 17 months old. Looking forward to all the excitement 2013 will bring :)

Christmas 2012

We had a wonderful Christmas! We went to church on Christmas Eve and Cole's family came over that evening for some Christmas fun. We spent Christmas morning together and my family come over that afternoon. Page had a blast with family and truly loved each present she got. It was so much fun watching her excitement! I'm a little sad Christmas is over, there is nothing like enjoying Christmas from a child's perspective. Here are a few of the many pictures we took :)

My Birthday Weekend

It has been a crazy busy; yet, super fun birthday weekend! I took Friday off and spent the day with Page. We had a lot of fun at the McCormick Ranch Train Park in Scottsdale. Cole and I plan to take her back one evening when its all lit up. Such a great park, the one here in Gilbert just doesn't compare! Cole and I went to the GoDaddy holiday party Friday night. It was lots of fun as usual, but this year it was extra special because we won $1,000! On Saturday, we went to Makayla's 4th birthday party at Makutu's Island. Page had a blast playing with all the kids! We then went to Cibo's in Phoenix with the family to celebrate mine and Grandma Lu's birthdays. The pizza was amazing, its a new favorite! This morning, Cole and I went on a hot air balloon ride at the Arizona Balloon Festival here in Gilbert. I have been wanting to do this for quite some time, its actually on my bucket list :) Cole surprised me for my birthday! It was amazing!! So gentle and smooth with such great views. The balloon actually stopped in our neighborhood park so Page got to come see us and see a mini-balloon show. It was a perfect birthday present! This afternoon we went to JJ's 1st birthday party at a local park. Page had a blast playing outside! It was a great birthday weekend! Here are a few pictures...I took over 100 ;)

Cardiology Appointment

Page had her Cardiology appointment this morning. The ASD is still 3-3.5mm but her heart has grown so the hole is proportionally smaller. There is no strain to the heart & Dr Puntel is not concerned. He is hopeful the hole will close on its own but can't say for sure. Page will follow up in a year to check on the progress. All in all a great appointment!

On an unrelated note, Page loves to turn lights off & on. I always say "You did it" when she does something new, on her own. Yesterday she started saying "I did" each time she turned the light off or on. Too cute! We can't get enough of this girl :)

Another Dance Clip :)

Took this video by mistake while trying to take P's picture earlier. What can I say...the girl loves to dance!

Pictures with Santa

Page met Santa for the 1st time today! We decided to take a family picture. Even though Santa's a nice guy, Page would have freaked out a bit sitting by herself. She was concerned enough just sitting next to him :) Maybe next year they'll be better friends...
