Soy Free/Dairy Free Cake Anyone?

Anyone have soy free/dairy free cake recipes?? I need to figure out if a cake is an option for Miss Moo's first birthday this summer. We saw Dr. Ally today and we aren't going to reintroduce dairy/soy until after a year. Mags had blood in her stool this morning and apparently must have snatched something with dairy or soy in it. She also has a double ear infection, both ears are really bad this time, and she has had a fever of 103+ all day. Bonus!

The Dancing Queen

Here are her first dance moves! I couldn't believe it when she started boppin' her head and bouncing to the musical card Zac got me for Mother's Day. She's soooo smart!

Weekend of Baby Showers

We had two baby showers this weekend. Well, I guess I had two, and Zac and Maggie had one. The first was for Zac's cousin Carrie who is expecting a baby boy next month. It was a great shower that included all family members, sort of a big friend's and family picnic. On Sunday I attended the baby shower of our good friend Jesikah, wife of Johnny, who is one of Zac's best childhood friends. Jesikah and Johnny are also expecting a baby boy. He's due in August. So, all these baby showers got me thinking. It wasn't that long ago that I was at my own baby shower. Now my baby's almost a year old. Where does the time go? It definitely goes by way too fast. I'm starting to get a little sad. I kept telling myself over this last year to make sure and take it all in---to cherish every cute, cuddly, baby moment. Now I wonder, do I remember every little milestone, every cute moment? Goodness, I hope so. Someone was talking the other day about how they've scrap booked all their baby moments. I used to scrapbook, but don't anymore. I thought to myself that maybe Maggie's blog is like my virtual scrapbook--all my baby moments written out with photo documentation. This makes me feel a little better! Now I've got to check the baby book and see how far behind I am before I have to start adding the details of her first birthday!

Here's some pictures of Maggie and Cousin Issac at Carrie's baby shower. They sure do enjoy playing with each other!

A Maggie Random

I had been thinking I needed to update the look of Maggie's blog to fit the season, so I thought I might as well do a post too. I just picked something random that demonstrated how cute she is.

Enjoy.

Room 156 Picnic

Maggie finally decided to crawl down and play with Riley.

Today we had Maggie's class picnic in the park. She seemed very excited to see all her friends outside of school. Of course she's always excited to see Chris, so she had to go to her for some loves. Aunt Sara and Uncle Brad also joined us. We had lots of fun.

Maggie hates getting her diaper changed or getting dressed, which results in this...
