Sweet Baby Paige !

Little Paige was born April 9th weighing in at 8 lbs, 5 oz. and 20" long. Amy and Bryan were delighted that she is healthy, adorable, and sporting a full head of dark brown hair. Even before she was born, she had mastered the art of thumb-sucking - caught it on a sonogram. Here she is in the recovery room with Mom, Dad and Grandma(me)at a couple hours old - just listen to her cute baby noises! How helpful it is that she has learned to self-soothe so young! Little Gracie, welcomes her new girl cousin with open arms. There's been 7 boy cousins born in the last 2 years! And if truth be told, this Grandma and all the aunties were really ready to shop for girlie clothes again!

Thumbs by Shel Silverstein
Oh, the thumb-sucker's thumb
May look wrinkled and wet
And withered, and white as the snow,
But the taste of a thumb
Is the sweetest taste yet
(as only we thumb suckers know)
