Happy 8 Month Birthday Maggie Moo!

Here's the 8 month tornado! She's spreading all her toys around the living room in about 2 minutes. She' a pro at pulling her basket of toys and her books off her shelves now. Notice how she uses her big toe to stabilize herself. They are like her little brakes! I love those toes!!

I laughed at this picture because all her favorite toys, the ones she's pulled out anyways, are the homemade ones--the wipes container, oatmeal canister, baby food jar lids, etc.

NOTE TO PARENTS: Don't waist money on "developmental" toys, they'll learn a lot more playing with the box it comes in!

Well, Miss Magnolia is 8 months old today, such a big girl. Apparently being 8 months old means you HAVE to get into EVERYTHING. We can't believe what she's getting into, and how quickly she's doing it. She's still belly crawling everywhere, but still rockin' away on hands and knees too. We were into the pediatrician today for Maggie's cough and congestion, and she's got another ear infection (this would be number 2). So here goes another round of antibiotics--not our favorite, since last time she got such a horrible diaper rash.

Oh, and Auntie Hailey, since we know you spend time in class reading the blog we thought we would send you a little reminder to make sure and learn lots too. Maggie tried to paint you a pink picture yesterday, but she painted a little too much, and destroyed the paper. She's going to make you another one soon, and we'll mail it to you. It sure was good seeing you this weekend--Maggie loves you!!
