My baby is 9! We had a great time celebrating Paige to wrap up 2025. She had a party in early December at an indoor water park, Kalahari. She actually shared the party with a friend {whose mom is my friend} and that was THE BEST. Tricia {mom} and I talked for 5 hours straight, and the girls played, swam, rode slides, ate pizza, and had an all-around great time!

Paige has SO MUCH personality! She is a shining star everywhere she goes. At home, that can come out as a little more sass/attitude than we'd like, but no one can say she lacks personality, ha. She and her siblings battle on the regular - the days of Paige being everyone's favorite are long gone. I wish they got along better, but I know they'll get there!
Her school year is going great. She has straight As and is a leader in her class. She was Gator of the Month for her class in September. She doesn't LOVE school like she used to, but she definitely is rocking it - she has friends, is loved by her teachers, and is doing excellent in her classes. This is the first year she will take the STAAR test, and I'm sure she'll kick its butt. {grin}
She is involved in a few activities - she is a Girl Scout Brownie, she takes a tumbling class every week, and she has started piano lessons. The past 2 summers she has played volleyball, so I think we'll stick with that this next summer too.
Paige is obsessed with all things beauty. If she had $1M, she would spend it in Sephora. She loves to get her nails done and likes for me to fix her hair for special occasions.
She is very creative and loves doing artistic endeavors. She loves to draw, color, paint and is always in the middle of making something. She loves going to make pottery with Nana.
Paige is getting pickier when it comes to food but is nowhere near Trent. She still eats a lot of fruits and vegetables {mango is her favorite!} but gets picky with dinners ugh.
She enjoys reading - especially graphic novels and listening to Harry Potter on audiobooks. We finished the Harry Potter series in our mother-daughter reading sessions and started the Little House series, and she is really liking that series.
One area that is a battle for us is CLOTHES. She loves to shop and pick things out {that I stupidly buy} and then she wears her free rec center sports jerseys to school every day.
She got her braces off this summer and is so responsible wearing her retainers. Round 2 isn't too far off as she only has 3 more baby teeth to lose.
I would say she's mostly done with 'toys'. She still loves squishmallows, but her interests have grown with her. She loves her iPad and talking to her friends and especially playing Roblox.
We can't talk about Paige without talking about Sackie. She still has her beloved sleep sack that she sleeps with every night. I fully envision Sackie being a fixture in her life forever. {grin}
The long and short of it is that Paige Noelle is so much fun and is loved so much.
I can't wait to see what year 10 holds for our little ball of sunshine!
