Peek-A-Maggie

I'm just making all of you giddy with all these posts today, aren't I? Well, she's really into peek-a-boo lately, and she just figured out Friday how to cover her own face with something to play peek-a-boo.

Here it is demonstrated when she was supposed to be washing her face, but she thought peek-a-boo would be way more fun...

See below people. There's more!

The Farmer's Market

Maggie quite enjoyed her first farmer's market, well her second actually. I believe we took her not too long after she was born, but that's sort of a hazing period of time for me to remember.

She quite enjoyed the market. One: because we bike there, and she's really enjoying being in her buggy when it's attached to Daddy's bike, Two: because there are so many people to look at and wave to, and Three: because there's music to dance to!!!

If anyone wants to join us we'll probably be going every Saturday morning from now on. Just let us know.

Dancing with Daddy at the Market

So the market can be exhausting. Maggie fell asleep on the bike ride home, and continued her nap in the driveway for about an hour.

FYI: If you just checked into the blog today you probably didn't read the other post I did this morning. Keep Reading!!

So Much to Post

Magnolia has been doing soooo much lately, I can't keep up! I think today is going to be full of all sorts of posts on everything from peek-a-boo to her trip to the Saturday Market. Here's just a little video for your viewing pleasure...

Happy 9 Month Birthday Maggie Moo!!

She's 9 months old today! So big! She had a fabulous 9 month birthday. She had a relaxing morning with mommy, then Auntie Sara came over to play for awhile before Daddy got home (he was a little late because he decided to visit his barber, yes Grandma Crist, he finally got his hair cut). Daddy said Maggie and him played all afternoon, and she was giving him lots of kisses! Here's the proof...she was giving Daddy kisses before she'd let Mommy get her in her pajamas.

Heeeee, he, he...look what I just did!

Well, here she is. In all her "I finally pulled up to standing in my crib" glory. I literally screamed when I walked into her room to see why she was making so much noise! She was so very proud of herself! She looked a little taller than we had expected (I'm standing right there guarding her, so don't worry all you over protective grandmothers and aunties!) so we moved her crib mattress down. Luckily tonight there were no shenanigans and she went right to sleep!

The poor little girl is still sick!!!! I know she doesn't look like it in the video, but that was a good section of the day. I've decided that's how babies are. They are either in a "I feel fine" mood, or "I am totally miserable" mood. At least that's how Maggie is--there's really no in between for her. She'll have a good afternoon, and then all of a sudden she'll be super fussy and having horrid coughing fits. I didn't call Dr. Ally on Friday, because I thought for about the fourth time she was starting to feel better. Guess I was wrong.

I'm calling Dr. Ally in the morning. I'm sure she'll want us to come back in (which is kind of frustrating since her 9 month well baby is Tuesday--those co-pays add up quick!). I'll keep everyone posted.

Yummy, yummy!!

Here's Magnolia first experience with finger feeding herself!!! This was awhile ago, but I thought everyone would still like to see it!! She's a pro now!!

Getting the puffs onto her hand--pretty handy that they stick!

Chewing, chewing, chewing.

Look, I did it! Delicious!

5 AM

Magnolia's been sick again this week. It started with fussiness and a runny nose on Sunday, and now we are to Wednesday with a fever of 102 degrees. We headed in to see Dr. Ally, just to make sure we wouldn't be spreading anything too serious to her friends and to check her ears. Dr. Ally was sure it would be another ear infection, but her ears were completely fluid free. Hopefully it's just some viral bug that's not too big a deal, and she'll be better soon. If she's not better by Friday Dr. Ally is probably going to catheterize her, and check for a possible UTI. So lets all hope she gets to feeling better soon!!

Here's Daddy and Maggie at 5am. Daddy is trying to stay awake and Maggie's trying to get her fever down with a cold cloth and some fluids!

Here's a few more cute Maggie pics! Look at those cheekies!

So Little Miss Climber/Stander is all over everything. This would be the moment she discovered how fun it is to climb in and on the laundry basket.
