Paige's new toy...

paige has becomes quite adept at throwing things in the toilet...she is so fast! now we have chalked up a toilet roll, a baby bottle and she managed to throw my watch in the bath tub full of water. I suppose she likes the "splash!" i can't believe the watch still works...and is very clean!

November 2007

We are fine and getting ready to move from Fremont to San Jose. Naomi is excited to move and be so close to her BFF Adam! Both girls were sick last week with the asthma, but feeling better now and back to their old tricks!

Paige has discovered the toilet. One of her fave past-times is to break off toilet paper and throw it into the toilet bowel. While I was rinsing Naomi's hair in the bath, Paige threw one of Naomi's shoes and a bottle of lotion into the toilet! Lovely! She also loves to wash her hands at the sink. Naomi is having fun at school and enjoys playing with Jaymin and Christoper, she likes the art projects, and playing in the sand!

The latest in the Fall

We are rolling into the Fall and the girls are staying healthy which is huge for our house! They are on daily asthma meds, but they seem to be working and so it is worth it. I am hoping they will grow out of the asthma soon!
Paige is full on walking now, she loves to climb too! She thinks she is so daring to climb on Naomi's step stool and then complains when she is stuck! She can blow kisses and loves to jump/dance to music! no favorite stuffed toy, or blanket, she is flexible and rolls with us!
Naomi is beginning to enjoy preschool, she plays with a lot of different kids and talks about them all the time. She still struggles with drop off a little and the change has taken some getting used too. It has been enlightening, I am so happy we did this before kindergarten. She is planning to be a cowgirl for Halloween with Paige as her trusty horse! Naomi likes the pink cowgirl boots we bought the most! Naomi is taking an interest in reading now, and read a book perfectly yesterday (from memory!) Barry was so impressed!

Hillary

Just today at school it was pet day for naomi and she made a picture of a dog (Hillary) and
a cat...she said "when Hillary passes away I want a cat like this!" Nice,
poor hills, she doesn't even have one foot in the grave! School is going
well for Naomi, she is getting better at the drop off, and seems to be
having a lot of fun.

Paige is Walking!

Paige has been practicing for a while now, but has decided to walk! She is fourteen and a half months, and so proud of herself!! She is still crawling more than walking, but it won't be long! She is dying to keep up with Naomi and her friend Sean!

Paige at 14 months

Paige is really blossoming and showing us her personality! She is very proud of herself and will stand up in the middle of the room to get attention, and clap to congratulate herself! She has taken a tiny half step, but not ready to walk unassisted. She likes to walk and hold onto one hand. Paige's favorite game is "peek-a-boo" she covers her eyes with her hands and surprises us! she eats almost everything, but reacts to dairy foods, but likes the soy just as well! She points at everything, birds, trucks, clouds, people..and exclaims "Ahhh cowwbya" not sure what that means yet...she has gotten the hang of "mamma!" :-)

First Day of Preschool

Naomi started preschool and was very excited about it. The timing was perfect, since all her little friends at daycare have started Kindergarten and preschool. We got all geared up and bought a new backpack and shoes. Barry practiced meeting new friends with Naomi, role playing! Barry Paige and I dropped her off, she was very happy to be there and finally meet her teachers, we had been talking about them for a long time. When it was time for me to say goodbye Naomi was a little sad and didn't really want to be left, but Teacher Teresa took her under her wing and they waved me and Paige off, and she had a great day! Naomi made a teddy bear collage, played in the sand and water and made 2 paintings. I think she will have a great time there! She has been talking a lot about Ori one of the boys in her class!
