Still No Camera

Sorry for the lack of pictures. We're working on it though, and hopefully it won't be too much longer. Till then, here's the week's highlights:

I'd been having a rough day with Paige not eating much, and I guess it was starting to rub off on her: when she spilled a handful of craisins on the floor, she dropped to her knees, sighed, and said, "Oh, Paige! No!"

Paige and I were in Walmart the other day. I pulled out a shirt and asked her if she thought it was cute. She locked eyes with me and very seriously responded, "No." She said that about pretty much everything else I showed her too. I thought she was just in a contrary mood, but as we passed the Valentines day stuff, she said, "Pretty! I like it!" Apparently, I just have bad taste.

I threw away one of my two pairs of England shoes yesterday. Both shoes were leaking water, there was a 1-inch hole in one of the toes, and I'd superglued the heels back on to keep them from flapping. It was time. Luckily, I found some red patent flats to replace them. I'm pretty excited.

Speaking of shoes, Paige got some baby flip-flops from Old Navy this week too (they were on sale). She wants to wear them everywhere. Morphing into my own parents, I tell her No, she has to wear real shoes in the snow or her feet will freeze. Sheesh, kids these days.

A friend of mine had her second baby boy a little over a week ago. I took Paige over for a playdate with Taylor, who is just younger than Paige, and I got to hold new little Zachary. It made me realize how much of a baby Paige isn't anymore. She walks, talks, dances, makes jokes, plays games, and has opinions. *sniff sniff* My baby is growing up.

Wow. Sorry for being so sappy. We now return you to your non-maternal programming...

We made mozzarella cheese yesterday! It's been our to-make list for a while, and I got Jeff all the materials for Christmas, so we set up the kitchen and made it happen. It turned out really well! We have not quite 2 pounds of cheese in our fridge, and tonight we're making margarita pizzas. Mmmmm.

Um... I think that's it from our little corner. Happy Sunday!
