Happy Maggie!!

"I'm getting SO big!"

"I love my doudou and sticking my tongue out at Mommy. And yes, I woke up with a mowhawk."

"Here's my dog and I working on our yoga poses--always do yoga with your dog!"

Maggie has lots of reasons to be happy today. This weekend her and mommy hit up the Hyde Park Street Fair to listen to some good music, visit with people, and do some shopping from "green" vendors. The HPSF is an event put on by the Northend Neighborhood Association. When Maggie's a bit older she'll be able to participate in the activities they have set up for children as a fundraiser for Giraffe Laugh, a non-profit childcare program. It's events like this that remind us why we live in the Northend--the community feel, all the families that value getting outside with their children, everything within walking and biking distance, and more.

Daddy is home after being gone for four days, and he's taking a "stay at home day" to be with Maggie (also very nice for mommy!). Zac was in Couer d' Alene for work, and then caught the Vandal game on Saturday with Sara, Brad, Hailey and some other friends.

We've really noticed Maggie is starting to take in more visually the last few days as well. She is always looking around now, and searching for our faces. As soon as she sees us, she usually sticks out her tongue to initiate our little copy game. Last night she was even imitating my mouth movements as I spoke to her. It was so funny--it was as if she was having a little silent conversation with me.

Last but not least, Maggie got all stocked up on some more super cute Vandal gear from Auntie Hailey. Auntie Sara even got her some Vandal socks. She's set now for football season!

Auntie Hailey turned 22 years old yesterday!! We hope you had a fabulous birthday Auntie Hailey.
