Little Miss Maggie: October 2006

Happy Halloween!!

Feelin' hot, hot, hot!

Maggie's first Halloween costume!

And here's how she felt about it.

TA-DAA!

TA-DAA!!

Maggie's now starting to lift her legs and head at the same time! It's so cute.

Can you believe it?! They finally started to frame our house!!!

Cutie-pie with the big blue eyes!

"Hey! What do you think of my new swing? It swings, vibrates, plays music and even has a mobile of dancing lambs that turns as I swing. With all that going on, you'd think that I'd never get to sleep, but for some reason it knocks me out every time. Mommie and Daddy are very happy that Nannie Vern and Poppy bought it for me!"

This is now how Maggie cuddles in beside Mommie or Daddy in the morning.

While we were home in Newfoundland during Thanksgiving weekend, Maggie Clara was baptized at the Anglican Church in Whitbourne. She wore the same dress Uncle Scott, Aunt Connie , Cousin Xander and Daddy wore when they were each dedicated. Maggie was so good, she didn't even wake when the Minister poured water on her little head.

Cousin Sydney absolutely loved little Maggie. She insisted that she was Maggie's older sister! Sydney read Maggie stories, helped change her diapers and gave her lots and lots of kisses. She didn't let her out of her sight!

Here is Uncle Don with little Maggie. She was so content in his arms.

Sleep-over with Nannie Vern and cousin Xander!

"Daddy, I've still got a little growing to do before I can fit into these cool shoes."

Here's Maggie in her Bumbo seat.

After trying out many wraps and other types of carriers, Mommie decided on this ring sling. Sometimes Maggie loves it and falls asleep. Other times she hates it and squirms to get out.

Maggie has started pushing her whozzit ever so gently with her hand. She's very cautious about the whole thing, I don't think she's yet aware that it's her hand that's moving it.

Maggie seems to like turning her head to one side and one side only, to her right. We started putting her on her tummy and her side more to get her looking the other way, but no matter what we do, she keeps going back to her favourite side.
