Lazy Sunday Morning

"That was a great party at Aunt Connie's and Uncle John's last night, can't I sleep in for just a bit longer?"

Thanks to Daddy's great swaddling technique and sheer determination, Maggie's been sleeping in her crib all by herself for 3 and 4 hours at a time. It seems that if her hands are free, she'll whack herself in the face and wake herself up. So, we decided to try swaddling again so that her arms were securely pinned to her sides inside the blanket. To our delight, it worked! However, in this pic Mommie took one morning, it seems Maggie's figured out how to squirm her way out!
During the day, Maggie's becoming more content to just lay in her crib watching her mobile. It may only last for 15 minutes or so, but it's amazing what you can get done in that short amount of time (like posting new pics on the blog)!

As content as Maggie is most of the time, she still has her fussy times. Like in the evenings when she's hungry, hungry, hungry and just wants to feed nonstop. When Mommie has to have a little break, Daddy has to try to keep her amused. Poor little thing...

Nanny Gosse bought Maggie her first hoodie. Isn't it cute?!

I think Maggie was happy to see Xander and realize that there were other little people around. Xander was so excited that he almost jumped in the bouncy chair with her!!

For those of you wondering about our house (that we signed for in May of 2005), here is a pic of our lot taken this Saturday. Doesn't it seem appropriate that there is a Johnnie-on-the-spot on our lot?! ;-)
They've paved the road on which our house will be built and we've been told that they are going to start laying the foundation very soon. We'll believe it when we see it.... However, it was nice to drive on 'our' road and imagine what it's going to look like in a year from now.
