First Words, Blankie, First Steps

The first word for Paige was "shoes". She liked to play with the shoes lined up under a bench by our front door (base housing, Incirlik AB Turkey). Soon to follow were "hold you" instead of hold me.

Paige called her blankie "bee". Her blankie was just a little green knotted piece of yarn by the time we decommissioned it.

Paige didn't walk until about 14 months. Her first spanking was when she walked into the street in Turkey. Her second spanking was when she stomped on a bug on the sidewalk after I told her not to do that (only kill something if necessary).
