PAIGE la'RAGE

Our family likes to get outside every chance we get, and now that Paige is 10 months old and the weather is warming up, Daddy likes to bring her to the park, too. Here she looks inquisitively at her older sister Dagney.

Paige is also at the age that everything goes in the mouth. Here she decides to taste a wood chip...

...and give us her disapproving look.

Paige also enjoys the swings and found the extra large toddler chair quite relaxing!

"...Ahh, nothing like a warm spring day!"

Taking Life One Giant Step at a Time

Dagney decided today was the day she would learn to leap tall buildings, or at least small 7 foot walls with special little foot-holes.

It was a bit nerve-racking at first, but sure enough Dagney put one hand in front of the other and one foot after the other...

And when she reached the top, she slid down the giant slide!

More Pics of Baby Bunks #3

We had another ultra-sound today, the heart beat was healthy and if you look closely one can see baby Bunks' face (to left of the middle of the page) looking at the camera.Much debate whether it is a girl or boy, however during Dagney and Paige's pregnancy Jenn could hardly stand the smell of beef. During this pregnancy I have been given the ultimatum that if I am cooking chicken it better be outside where she cannot smell it.

Things that make you go hmmmm...

That is one dirty hat!

I don't know many mothers who would allow their daughters to wear such a filthy hat, no matter how much their daughter loved Daddy. Having said that, I have to assume mom was taking a nap when Paige miraculously took this picture.

I am sure it will not be the first time Dagney and Paige conspire together.

Paige and all her Beauty

What a wonderful surprise to come home and find these beautiful pictures of Paige on the camera. I could not wait to publish these.

She is growing so fast now, it won't be long and she will be mobile.

A day at the Park

This evening Dave, Cole, Dagney, Paige and I went for a nice walk after I returned home from work. While on the walk, we stopped by one of our favorite parks and played with the swings, slide and teeter-totter.

Paige loves the swing, even though Mom insists on bundling her up until she resembles a giant ball of yarn!
Here Dagney sits down on her bum-bum to go down the slide.

Her Cole keeps a look-out for trouble as Dagney takes another ride down the slide.

"So this is a Teeter-Totter!"

Dad and Dagney

Technology changes everything. One way technology has impacted my job of parenting is the accessibility of old cartoons and vidoes on Youtube. The first video she liked was "The Archies" - "Sugar Sugar", but grew out of that video about three months. We watched the "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" around Christmas time and last month it was the Scoobey Doo intro song. Now she has a new favorite and I am not even sure how we found it.
