Today you looked around and announced:
"Look out world, here comes Paige!"
Yes, indeed.

Out of Your Mouth
Sometimes I read a book while I nurse baby Quinn. The other day I was reading and nursing while you were in the kitchen. Quinn finished eating so I set the book down. You came running out of the kitchen and said:
Paige: You need to keep reading.
Paige: You need to keep reading.
Mommy: Why?
Paige: Because you need to finish your book.
Mommy: Um, what are you eating in the kitchen?
Paige: *silent pause*
Mommy: Paige, what were you eating?
Paige: I just got hungry, so I was eating the pink frosting.
You had found a (mostly empty) container of frosting and were eating it. You figured I'd probably stop you from eating it if I saw you, so you were trying to keep me out of the kitchen. You're too funny, Paige.

More Moments
You are so delightful that I just want to record practically everything out of your mouth.
You were climbing all over me and driving me crazy, so I asked you to stop touching me for a little bit. You looked at me for a minute, then held your palms and hands up so they wouldn't touch me and said "be careful not to touch mommy!" then jumped and body slammed me. But your hands never touched me.
A few minutes later you kept touching me and demanding things so I said (in a friendly way of course)
"Paige, you are driving me crazy! My head is just going to explode because you're driving me so CRAZY! Is that what you want?"
Your reply (in your "that's funny" voice): "Nooo! Faces don't explode. VOLCANOES explode!"
We had stake conference last weekend and we sat with your cousin Heidi. Every time made noise you looked at her and said "shh!"

From Your Mouth Lately
Quinn was fussing and you said: "There, there. It's ok Quinn-Quinn. We'll get you to Daddy soon."
When you don't want us to do something: "NO! That's non-gotiable." (Trying to parrot my "non-negotiable" that requires you to do whatever I'm telling you to do)
I was using the bathroom and you wanted to be there in too. I was trying to get you to leave and said "Will you please go out to the front room so I can have some privacy?" You replied: "No, I need to have some privacy too."
Another time (same situation): "I need to stay in here with the door short so I can have some space."

Update January 2, 2013
You crack me up all the time, and you know it too. You often laugh and say "I crack you up all the time!"
Sometimes you put things in your mouth (pennies, pen lids, usb drives, etc) that shouldn't be there. So when I see you chewing on something I ask "what's in your mouth?" Sometimes it's food and other times it's something that shouldn't be there. Sometimes...
Mommy: What's in your mouth?
Paige: A booger!
You love to watch Dora the Explorer, and have started incorporating some of the things she does in your everyday life. For example, in one episode Dora and Boots sneak by the sleeping dragon on tiptoes being very quiet. You know that you can't have chips for breakfast (at least until you eat something healthy), but the other morning you found a can of Pringles. Daddy woke up to you sneaking by him on tiptoes whispering "Shh... tiptoe, tiptoe."
Sometimes you try to get away with doing things you know you shouldn't by telling me to leave so you can do them. For example, you wanted to drop a bunch of toilet paper into the toilet. I told you not to do it. You looked at me. Then at the toilet. Then back to me. Then you said "you leave now!"
You're usually very sweet with your new sister, Quinn. When she's crying you get her binky, hold her hand, or say soothing things (mimicking the cadence of my voice) like:
"There, there Quinn. Don't cry. You'll be happy soon."
"Don't worry. We'll get you home soon."
"It's ok, Quinn. It's just a bath."
Other times you try to play with Quinn even though she doesn't quite know how yet. For example, this morning Quinn was sitting in her bouncer. Giggling, you sneaked up on her, dumped an armful of laundry on her face and yelled "Quinn is hiding!" When I pulled the clothes off of Quinn's face she was grinning to... which only made you want to do it more. (It took me a few times to convince you that we don't throw laundry on Quinn's face)
The other day we went to the National Museum of Natural History, or as you call it, the Bug Museum. We looked at the bugs there (which you still LOVE) and then looked at some other things. By the tail of the Giant Elephant in the museum's rotunda there is a little display on dung beetles that live in elephant poop. You thought that was SO funny. For the days since you keep saying (at random times) "dung beetles live in ELEPHANT POOP!" and you laugh and laugh and laugh.
You are really interested in outer space. You love the Mickey/Dora episodes where they go to space and lately have taken to pretending to blast off in a rocket. You sit down on the floor, and put on your "helmet" and "seat belt" (both imaginary). Then you run around the room and put seat belts and helmets on everyone there, saying "you need your helmet and seat belt so you'll be safe." Then you do a count down: "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.. blast off!!"
