She's a Crawler!
Well, Maggie crawled for the first time "officially" tonight. She's been hinting at it for weeks now. She'd put her hand out in front and then roll over. Or she'd get up on her hands and knees like she was doing a push up and then bring both legs up like an inchworm. I've been calling her my little "inchworm" lately because her little butt has been in the air so much! Well, tonight she finally crawled - all the way across the room to me! It's so exciting. But I know she's going to be on the go from here on out. She'll be 9 months old tomorrow and outside of me for longer than she was inside of me. I'm so proud of my sweet baby. She's a crawler now and ON THE GO!

Charlie Brown
Maggie just watched her first ever, "Charlie Brown's Christmas". It's a family tradition of mine (as I'm sure it is in many other families). I'm not too big on Rudolph or Frosty but I'm sure we'll watch those too. She really liked it. I was surprised that she watched it. We've put cartoons and other things on just to see if she's interested (I know, Bad Mom, letting my 9 month old catch a glimpse of TV) but she's never really stayed focused on anything. But, she loved Charlie Brown - even squealed at the screen. Tommy was a huge Snoopy fan as a kid, still is actually, so he was pleased at her reaction. It's finally starting to feel like Christmas to me. With all the retailers getting the season started sooner and sooner each year, it's hard for me to finally feel like it's time to get excited. But, our family lit the 2nd Advent candle at church today and there's still snow lingering on the ground from our storm last Thursday. Yeah, I guess I'm finally ready for Christmas. OH, almost forgot....bought Mags her big Christmas present from Santa the other day.
