Crawling

She loves to stand up

New pics and Jesus

This was a week ago Sunday. She was so cute just playing with her baby.


The rest of the pics are backward... I didn't put them in the right order and it takes too long to re-load them and the re-arrange them.
The exersaucer is still one of her favorite places. She LOVES to jump. She gets so excited. When there is music she really gets going.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture. Such a sweet smile!

We went to Angie and Will's for dinner this last Sunday. When the girls came home from Dad's they were happy to see Maggie.

I had to rearrange these next 4 pics for the effect and to fit the story.

Emalea was sitting infront of Maggie and held out her arms and Maggie held out her arms just like Emalea. (This was the second time since I didn't have my camera at the ready position when it first happened so Maggie's arms weren't as high up this time)

Then leaned in for a hug. So cute.So Jael had to give it a try. Maggie did lift her arms some, but she just grabbed for Jael shirt mostly.Then in for a hug.

Maggie posing for Daddy. This was Sunday after church

Still posing

This one was before church

Maggie Loves rice. If you have rice on your plate you better be ready to share. :)

Saturday I got Maggie up from a nap and while walking through the hallway we stopped to look at the picture of Jesus. We regularly say Hi to Jesus and say his name several times when I get her up from her crib. Then as we were walking away into the livingroom she said what sounded like Jesus. I told her good girl, but wasn't sure if that was what she really said. Then Sunday morning we were looking at our picture of Christ in the living room and I said "Jesus" several times and then she did again. What a smart girl. She won't show off yet for Daddy or other people but some day she will. My little girl is growing up way too fast.

Starting Young

Today Raylene sent me a text message to tell me that Maggie spanked Jackson on his bootie. I said it was too bad we didn't have that on video. I then called her and she explained that Jackson was trying to get up in front of her and she started tapping him on his bootie. Then when he was starting to move away from her she grabbed his legs and was holding on while he tried to get away.
This kind of activity sounds very familiar... Thank goodness that stage is over for me, too bad it's just the beginning for her. Ahhhh such is life.

almost crawling

Maggie has been rolling and moving all over the floor lately. She normally moves backward and gets frustrated bec. she can't reach what she wants or gets stuck and can't go anywhere. Yesterday she backed herself up to the air matress pump and was playing with it with her feet. One time she kicked it just right and it turned on. Poor little girl was trying to crawl with all her might to get away from it. I turned it off and showed her what that noisy thing was. I guess that was incentive enough because all morning she was really moving around the floor trying to crawl. I had my cell phone about 2 feet away from her and she made her way to it. It was slow going but she got to the phone and was so excited. Maybe she hasn't had the right motivation to crawl forward... She does like technology.

Shadows

This morning Maggie woke up at 6:00 and Mike made a bottle for her then I sat in the living room feeding her. The only light on in the house was the one over our sink. When Maggie was done with her bottle she sat up and looked around and could see her shadow on the wall. She looked a little concerned. The "Maggie"(pointing at her) "Maggie"(pointing at an image of her) is a familiar game we play when she is looking in the mirror or pictures of herself. She loves it! So I figured it would work in this situation too. So I put my hand infront of her face where she could see my hand and the shadow it made. I told her "look it's mommy's shadow" then I pointed at her and said "Maggie" and then pointed at her shadow and said "Maggie's shadow" and continued doing so. She got excited and then needed to touch her shadow so she leaned in and rubbed the wall. I was so proud that my little girl discovered her shadow. I LOVE being a mom!!!

On the hay ride to the pumpkin patch

Emalea, Angie, Maggie, Jael, Will and Jackson. On the hay ride I read a story to the kids (and people behind us) a story called "The Littlest Pumpkin". It's a really cute story.

Maggie was really having a fun time. She just didn't want to show it in this pic.

Maggie and Angie at the corn.

Emalea picked the Little Pumpkin. She is too cute.

Ninja Maggie. Jackson had this, but didn't want to wear it so Maggie wore it for a while.

Aunt Sandy with Ninja Maggie.

I had so much fun. I LOVE the Cornfield Maize! At half way Maggie got hungry, Emalea was ready to stop and go with us. Jackson was scared so Will and I went to the tables they had set up and played with the kids there. Paula, Sandy, Angie and Jael did the last half of the Maize really fast. Sandy had a copy of the map and lead them (and 3 lost/tired girls) out in what I would call record time. What a blast!!!

Pickles!

We went to Dion's last night and Aunt Sandy decided to see Maggie's pickle face. To our surprise Maggie LOVED the pickle.

Emalea was waving for the camera.

Still just eating away.

She got a good chunk in her mouth and we wanted to show how much she was eating. She just wanted her pickle back.

Jael in her cool glasses.
