September 2007

September has been quite an exciting month for little miss Maggie.

We had a little sleep over with Xander on the first weekend. Both Maggie and Xander seemed to love it. They were so excited when they saw each other in the morning; they kept squealing and laughing at each other.

Now that the grass is settled, Maggie can play in her sandbox in the back yard. She wants to go out there as soon as she gets up in the morning!

You still have to keep a close eye on her in the back yard though. Falling in those rather deep window wells can be quite scary!

On another warm weekend, we took the kiddies to an apple orchard where they helped pick apples, went for a tractor cart ride, ate yummy cider donuts and played in the hay.

Maggie has now found a new favourite food, Apples!!

Near the end of the month, Maggie finally started to strut around with confidence. She now walks everywhere and quickly says "NO!" when you try to hold her hand (unless she's trying to drag you to the cupboard to get her a treat).
This past weekend, we took Maggie on a hike in Gatineau park. Let's just say that the hike we chose wasn't really stroller-friendly. But Maggie loved all the bumping around!

Some of the hike was just too hard for a stroller

After our hike, we had a little picnic of sandwiches (it was Maggie's first sandwich), yogurt and of course apples.

Open wide!

"Daa-daa-daa-daa!" For those of you interested in a picture of our house as a finished product, here you go!
