10 lbs 4oz!!!

Maggie got her first immunizations yesterday...OUCH! She had three shots, two in one thigh and one in the other. It was not a good time! She didn't have any bad reactions to them, except for a slight fever, and sleeping longer than normal. She slept all night last night, and has had two long naps today! Her legs don't seem to be sore, so that's good. She's had her bath, and is napping again. Her crib is very comfy! She seems to like sleeping there. She still likes taking naps in Mommy's arms, though. (Mommy likes it, too!). The doctor said that she looks great, and is in the 25% for height and weight. She's kinda small, but so are her parents. Maggie now weighs 10lbs 4oz and is 22 inches long.

I start work again next week. I will work Tues - Fri, 9-2 and Sat 10-3. That will give Maggie some special time with Daddy on Saturdays. I think I can probably handle those hours. I'm excited to be back with my co-workers, too. I've missed them!
Maggie really enjoys laying on the floor, kicking and waving her arms. I call it her "exercises". She is usually all smiles and coos when awake. What a happy little girl!

Picture Time

The music studio/guest room in the basement is complete! My mom and grandpa are just amazing. I don't know how they do it! Now, Maggie has a room all to herself! It's still a little messy, but she has her own closet (which is bigger than Mommy and Daddy's), her crib from Aunt Amy, a mattress from Aunt Jaime, bedding from Aunt Amber, a chest from Uncle Roger, closet shelving from Grandma Thomas, and the list goes on and on. She is getting along great. I'm going back to work in a couple weeks, so keep me in your prayers! It's hard for me to leave her for more than an hour, so I'm gonna have a tough time being away from her. Well here are lots of pictures from the past couple of weeks.

Growing up

Little Maggie is growing up so fast! She is awake several hours during the day now, and slept for 5 1/2 hours a few nights ago! She still only fusses when she is hungry or has a bit of gas. Other than that, she is very content! I've gotten a few more smiles from her recently. She likes kisses on the cheek and she loves to stare at our ceiling fans. I can see her little personality develop more and more each day!
We had some unfortunate news today...Grandpa and Cathy Cook's dog Casey had to be put to sleep this morning. He had developed a tumor on his spleen, which caused internal bleeding. There wasn't much they could do for him. He was loved very much by all, especially by Grandpa and Cathy. It's been very hard for them as you can imagine. Dogs are very much a part of our family as you can tell by our Penny pictures, so if you think about it, you might include Grandpa and Cathy in your prayers.
