Today was rough, by the time i got home from school and football i was absolutely exhausted and ready to sleep the weekend away.
While i sat on the couch a baby was plopped down beside me. I looked at her, and she looked back - it felt like a staring contest. After about a minute we both gave in together and she laughed and giggled for what seemed like hours.
She batted her beautiful blue eyes at me while smiling as wide as the ocean. I couldn’t help but let one creep onto my face as well.She started doing her best to crawl on to me but hasn’t quite mastered that skill yet and just buried her face down the cushion.
No matter how miserable a day can be for me Paige always finds a way to make me smile. I hope it is always like that, her and her beautiful big blue eyes.

.. luckily i was asleep.
The last thing i remember was unimaginable shrieking as i slipped into the unconscious thinking i was never going to fall asleep.. which is strange considering i was halfway there.
But once i was gone the baby continued to shriek for an hour or more until my father woke up and took the baby so that her mother could sleep since she also had high school in the morning.
She went on a drive and it was during that, that she was finally able to join me and most likely her mother in the dream world. Although i only saw one of them there, even in my sleep i could still feel the presence of Paige.
The car pulled up in front of the house with the inhabitants completely unaware of what was happening captivated by imaginary sequences inside their own imaginations. Paige was carried into the house and laid down in her basinette to sleep. She slept like an angel, so i was told, peaceful and smiling.
.. Until the next hour.
Today was my babies first Easter and my seventeenth, we dressed her up in a little dress this morning that was very cute, but that is the most I’ve seen of her today, she left with her mother to have a Barbeque with the other side of the family.
My parents gave Paige her first Easter basket last night since we didn’t know how long she would be gone today. She got tons of new toys that she immediately put into her mouth. She spend a while last night cuddling her bunnies and bears as well as tasting her new story books.
I am excited for when Paige is old enough to hunt for Easter eggs - next year hopefully. The only downside is the rainy season this part of the year.

Seventeen years old with a five month baby girl. Parenting is never easy but is it even possible to raise a child while you still are one? I think so but no one will really know until she can tell us. Hundreds of years ago even before the Victorian era it was normal and expected to have a baby in your late teens, granted, the average life expectancy was 40 years old. So it is possible for a teenager to be mature enough to raise a child and do it well. The real question is can I? I can’t answer that yet.
Her name is Paige, you could have guessed she is five months old. She is a strawberry blonde and astonishingly intelligent.
Paige has been in my life for a little over five months. That’s longer than i have ever kept a girlfriend, apart from her mother. I am amazed that in such a short amount of time a little girl has been able to change my outlook on the world and my overall purpose in life. My only wish now is that i can do the same for her.
Over the next few years.. give or take, i will post periodically about her growth and development as well as my own the both of us growing together.
