Anyway, big updates and lots of photos are the majority of this post. Maggie started her new daycare this month, and she had a seamless transition. One of the nicest things, aside from the close proximity to work, is the website photos. The teachers in Maggie's room have a website for us parents to see all the activities & social interactions that our children have. There are tons of photos, so I'm just selecting a few, but some are just so darn cute that I will caption them. :)
Umm...this girl is about to touch me.
Hey! You're touching me!
I like my pig tails!
Do you like Flock of Seagulls?
Is there something on my face?
Sometimes I hold my own bottle...most times I drop it.
I hate to say it again, but this month has flown by. For this post, I've decided that photos & captions work best, so here are the non-daycare photos:
Maggie has discovered how fun the "jump-up" is.
We caught Maggie on film, or digital record, as the case may be, eating her first meal of rice cereal. The first couple of times were really messy, but she's definitely caught on since then!
Pretty Annie feeding pretty Maggie.
Maggie says, "This weekend was rough..."
Once Maggie's hand slipped off her head, the way she was holding her head didn't settle very well with us. So, we improvised!
I'm teaching Maggie a thing or two about window shade installation so she can school the boys later in life. :)
Another tummy time in the bag!
One weekend on our way to visit Annie's Dad's family, we stopped by IKEA. Maggie fits right in with the display!
Sunny decided that she would help Maggie figure out the xylophone toy that used to be Annie's.
"I've figured out the xylophone, but I think I need Uncle Chris's help with the abacus over here."
This was one of my first times feeding Maggie...it took me just as long as it took Maggie to master the spoon!
Fun on Mommy & Daddy's bed in the morning!
Another pretty Annie cameo with Mag-pie! :)
Over Father's Day weekend, my friends Dave & Megan were in town. Somehow, we didn't get Meg on camera...maybe next time.
Dave & Meg gave Maggie a gift to grow in to: a Chicago Cubs scratch 'n sniff watermelon hat! Maggie didn't quite know what to think yet.
After coming back from visiting with Dave & Meg, my parents came over. Dad & I worked on tummy time, which became nap time. Guess who fell asleep first? (I'll give you a hint: it wasn't me or Maggie!) Also, an important event to note is that Maggie has started "talking" with dada & deedee sounds! I'm not going to take it for her first word until she really starts using it when she is looking at me though. There's still hope for a "momma" to be her first word for now! :)
Progress: the introduction of squash to Maggie. A bit messier than rice cereal!
Annie bought Maggie a swimsuit with floaties built in, but I think she still needs to grow in to it.
To anyone who didn't think Maggie and I looked alike, I give you Daddy & Maggie on the couch. :)
Aunt Jilly came to visit this weekend!
"I've got a fever, and the only prescription...is more cowbell!"
And finally, we wrapped up the last weekend of the month with an evening visit from Grandmommy & Grandpa.
Hopefully, I'll be better about posting this coming month. Until the next update, happy early Independence Day!
