Sweet Friends

This week one of my best friends Shea came to visit. She has a four month old precious little girl, Claire. We had a great time visiting and letting Maggie and Claire get to know each other. Maggie loved her. I think it is because she is really into baby dolls right now and she thought she was a living baby doll! Here are some pictures that we attmepted to take.

Happy Birthday Aunt Lisa!

A couple of weeks ago my sweet sister in law, Lisa turned 30! Adam surprised her with a little get together to celebrate the big day a little early. We are so happy that she now lives in Wichita Falls. Maggie loves her and so do we!

15 months

Seriously, where does time go? I cannot believe that Maggie Grace is 15 months old...Actually she is almost 16 months but we went to her 15 month appointment on Friday. She is doing great and weighs 21 pounds and 30 inches long. She has definitely turned into a little girl. She loves feeding, rocking and putting her babies night night. She hates to have her hands dirty and already has an obsession with shoes! She is talking and using signs all of the time. Last count she had around 30 words and 15 signs. I am a proud mama! I love the way that her personality is coming out more and more everyday. She has the cutest smile and truly lights up the room. We took her to the pool for the first time last week. She was not too sure about it but in her defense it was a bit chilly. Her new faorite toy is her water table..one of the best toys we have bought! All in all, we are having so much fun and are so thankful for her!

Power of Prayer

I am a firm believer in the power of prayer. Please keep the Denman family in your prayers. You can go to www.supportsasha.blogspot.com to read about her story and be updated on her recovery. Thanks so much!

Memorial Day

We headed to Possom Kingdom for Memorial Day this year and had a fabulous time! My parents were there along with Adam and Lisa. So we had 6 adults, 3 dogs and a 15 month old. It was a blast! The weather was crummy on Saturday and Sunday but Monday was beautiful. Maggie did really well in the car but I am so glad that it is only and hour and twenty minutes away because any further would have been tough on everyone! We took her out on the boat for the first time and she was a bit timid at first but ended up enjoying it. She woke up with a high fever on Saturday after her nap and had it for only 12 hours and then was fine. So strange. I do not think that I will ever figure this whole baby thing out! Here are some pictures we took over the weekend. I think that these are some of my absolute favorites. They really show her cute personality.

Ready to swim!

Loving Life!

We have had a fun couple of weeks. Nothing big to report. We have had fun with friends and family. Maggie continues to amaze me every day. She is saying words all of the time and starting to really communicate with us. I have been teaching her sign language and it has taken off in the last couple of weeks. FYI...if anyone is interested in teaching their babes sign langauage I am starting a business called Fingerspeak. It is designed to help you learn how to teach your babies (6 months to 18 months) sign language. The classes will start this Fall! It has been amazing to watch Maggie learn signs and it is awesome to be able to communicate with her so early. Anyhoo, here are some pictures of our precious little lady and the fun we have been having!!

so sorry that i have not posted in awhile. i have two reasons for this...1)my internet was down for about 10 days and 2) i have a BUSY 14 month old! maggie is everywhere these days. i seriously do not have a moment to sit except at nap time when i have to clean and get the laundry done and of course catch up on tv! :) we have had such a fun month. we went to pick strawberries with some friends, celebrated my dad's birthday and celebrated Easter. i ran in a 10k with some good friends this past weekend which was a lot of fun. danny has been working hard and working out too! maggie is still the light of our lives and doing SO much. she has about 25-30 words which amazes the teacher in me! she loves her babies and likes to feed them, burp the, and put them night night. we have a lot of fun cooking in her kitchen and of course playing out side. this past weekend she loved watching the kentucky derby and now goes crazy when we see the "na nas" all around town. we continue to have our fun playgroup and play with as many friends as we can. i am having such a blast watching her become a little independent person. here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks.
