Paige is 11 months today and it is now less than 1 month before I head back to work. I am going to miss spending all of this time with my little princess and it will definitely be an adjustment for both of us! Paige has been using her signs a great deal more which makes communication a little easier for her. Unfortunately Paige has also started experiencing night terrors which can occur at night and also occasionally during her afternoon naps. Paige had 5 top teeth come in this month without much fuss, just a desire to snuggle more. We have also started to experience some separation anxiety with Paige, which I am sure she will get over fairly quickly once she starts with daycare.
