We've had a blast this summer! In June we spent two weeks in Florida with my side of the family! Maggie got some great quality time with her aunts, uncles and cousins! She loved the beach and playing in the sand. I think our evening walks along the beach were her favorite.
In July, we found out that Maggie is going to have a baby brother or sister! She's too little to really understand what that means, but I told her there was a baby in my belly and she gave it a kiss. On Monday nights while we are at praise band practice, Maggie usually goes to play with Aunt Brooke. I don't know what Aunt Brooke feeds her, but she sure is wild when we come to pick her up! ;)
At the end of July, Aunt Amy, Uncle Ryan, Alexis and Kaylee moved to Spain. To keep in touch we've been video-chatting on Skype! Maggie loves seeing them and talking to them. She REALLY loves their new kitty, Artemis (Artie for short). Sometimes Maggie steals the webcam and shoots her own video...which I'm sure makes people dizzy!
Maggie has added several words to her vocabulary. Bye-Bye (or Die-die as Maggie says), Pooh (as in Winnie-the, not smelly), Pup-pup (that's what she calls our dog, Penny), Gramma, Paw-paw, Dada, Mama, Turtle, Kitty Kitty and Tickle Tickle (these two are interchangeable), and much much more! She's becoming well-versed in all the animal sounds as well...apparently giraffes growl like a lion, but we won't worry about that!
We've been spending some time at Gramma's pool. Maggie swims while wearing a little tube. She gets around really well with that on by kicking her little legs. She's still pretty skinny, but has been eating much better. She's in the 5th percentile for weight and the 50th for height. At her 12 month appointment she wasn't even on the chart for weight, so at least she's back on!
Speaking of Maggie, she's awake now and ready for her breakfast!
She's still so easy going too for the most part. It's great to hear her giggles and to see her happy little face. You guys are doing a great job with her.
ReplyDeleteI agree! It was so much fun having ALL of us together for 2 weeks. The only way it could get any better is if we had a couple more kids running around and all 7 dogs too! 2000 sq ft is big enough for all that right?
