3 months old!





Maggie turned 3 months old yesterday! She becomes more fun every day. She came to work with me for about an hour on Saturday, and everyone loved her...of course! She is recovering from the busy weekend right now by taking an extra long nap. Here are some silly pictures of Maggie!

Super Daddy



Brian watched Maggie two days in a row, and she is still in one piece! Not that I expected anything different, but he did a great job. She's definitely going to be a "daddy's girl." They watch golf together (Maggie through her eyelids), and she just loves to snuggle on Daddy's lap! It's too cute. Then when she starts to fuss, it's Mommy's turn. I don't mind. She's just too sweet and cuddly!!! Brian watched her yesterday while I cleaned the windows on the porch. That took forever and a day! If you haven't seen the windows, they're sort of like blinds made of glass. They open up with a crank to let air in on the porch, which is really neat, but made them very difficult to clean. And boy were they dirty!
Maggie loves to lay in her crib and watch her Winnie the Pooh mobile. She does what I call her "exercises" where she flails her arms and kicks her legs super-fast! It looks like she's dancing to the music of her mobile. She breaks out in a big grin whenever she hears it start to play. She's watched some more of her Baby Einstein videos...I think I enjoy them as much as she does...I'm watching one right now, and she's not even in the room!
I'm getting really excited about my sister-in-law Amber having her baby!!! She's going to have a girl probably any time now! Her due date is April 6th I think, but her first two kids were born 3 weeks early. I can't wait!!!
Well, I have some serious cleaning to do!!! I better get started while Miss Maggie is nappin'!

Sweet little girl

Snoozin' away

Little Angel

Maggie has been enjoying her Baby Einstein videos! She actually watched one for a little bit today. She has been sleeping through the night pretty well the last couple of days, too! That's always a plus! She's just a wonderful baby, and I feel so blessed! We took Maggie and Penny for a walk on Saturday. The weather was great. Warm, and just a little cloudy. It was Maggie's first adventure outside. She stared at the clouds and trees all "bright eyed." Penny had a good time, too. She's so out of shape! She was worn out after the first ten minutes or so! Yesterday we went to Mom's house for lunch and then to Grandpa Cook's to see his new puppy, Rex. Maggie fell asleep while Cathy was holding her, and Rex tried to get Penny to play with him. She was being an old grouch, though.
Well, I better get some laundry done since Maggie's napping now.

Day 2


I've been back to work two days now, and I must say, things are going very well so far. I work 5 hours each day, which seems to be the magical amount of time. It is just long enough for me to get all my work done, but not so long that I miss Maggie too much. I miss her of course, but I am busy, so the time goes by fast. Thanks for all your prayers! Maggie has been good for Grandma while Mommy is gone. Brian got a phone call about a job yesterday. It is in the Champaign, IL area, which would be a possible commute from Terre Haute. It sounds very promising. He is supposed to have an interview soon. Maggie is still growing and getting cuter every day!!!
