Gobble Gobble (Happy Thanksgiving)

Here's some photos from the last few weeks. Grammy Linda came for a visit, we went to Great Grandma's (GG's) on Camano Island for Thanksgiving and played with cousin Mason. Maggie talked up a storm on Thanksgiving, she wanted to make sure everyone heard what she had to say! Mason wasn't to sure about that, he would cry when Magnolia got really loud. She had some sweet potato and apple puree, but dinner was cut short when some food accidentally got in her eye. That does not feel good (sorry Maggie!) She was more interested in what else was going on anyways. She has been having so much fun lately, scooting around backwards and starting to pull up on people and furniture. We dropped her crib mattress down last week. She loves being sung too, and likes to 'walk' around holding on to someone's hands. She also likes being naked (sorry Maggie) Ahh the simple pleasures of life. We hope all our friends had a great turkey day!

Busy busy busy

I don't even know what we have been doing the last two weeks! But here's some pictures of Maggie. She is doing all kinds of new fun things, like scooting backwards on her hands and knees, trying to pull up on people, and furniture, putting everything in her mouth, and laughing. This girl laughs at everything, remind you of anyone? It is so funny because I will get her laughing, which makes me laugh, which makes her laugh even harder. I remember last winter when I was pregnant and Erin said to me 'your baby is going to love your laugh'. I thought 'she will either love it, or it will drive her nuts.' So far, she is digging it. She finally fits into her Wilco onsie, I feel like such a cool mom, with my kid already in a band tee (I think Aunt Bee will appreciate this the most, or maybe Uncle Brad) She is also loving eating. (She really loves everything, seriously the happiest child)

Halloween, continued...

Maggie's first Halloween was full of spooky fun. We first went to pick up some gdiaper inserts in Issaquah that we found on Craigslist. (We are making the switch to cloth diaper service in the next few weeks and will also use some gdiapers when we need something to throw away. The gdiapers are great because you can flush them, toss them or compost them!) On our way back home, we stopped at Grandma's school and saw all kinds of costumed junior high kids. We listened to some talented kids in music club sing their songs, and showed off Maggie in her ladybug costume. She also was wearing her trusty pumpkin hoodie as a backup. We then went to U Village to meet up with Shellie and Eli, who won Amy's 'favorite costume of the year award' as Einstein (Albert 'Don King' Einstein). Shellie and I then brought the kids to work where they attracted quite a crowd due to their adorableness. We picked up Hal and went to dinner with Auntie Nessie and Uncle Deuce. We ended the evening with a fun party at my coworker Steph's. Today we continued our dress up at baby group. Here's some photos!

Happy Halloween!
