Snowy Days
My Mag-pie gets bigger and stronger everyday. I see her budding independance and have to be just a little sad. I'm no longer her only sense of amusement. Playing on the floor with me is no longer her favorite thing. I'm LUCKY if I can get her to play with me at all, in fact. There's just so much to explore now that she is an accomplished crawler. There are so many neat things in the kitchen....cabinets to open with pots to bang, chairs to pull up on. And then there's Mommy's personal favorite destination - the stairs. She gets up them great, it's the getting back down she hasn't quite mastered yet.

She's still rambling "mamamma" and "dadadada". I'm certain now she knows what they mean. When Tommy gets home from work, it's always to a big grin, an excited scream and "dadada". And when she falls down after taking an attempted step I hear, "mamamma." I love that. (not the falling part, but the needing me part!) She has 6 teeth now. There are 4 up top and 2 on the bottow. All 4 up top emerged around the same time and with little to no fussing. Whew!

We just got back from a fantastic Superbowl weekend. Maggie was SO GOOD! We went back to Greenville to visit some friends. On Saturday, Maggie saw her friend Ashby who was born 6 days before her. They got many of the same toys for Christmas. This was really the first time that they've been together that they have been able to sit and play with toys. They were so cute! They both pulled up on the cruise and crawl gym (Mag's favorite) and just stared at each other. Then on Sunday it was off to Raleigh for her godmother's birthday/Superbowl party. It was at a great restaurant in Raleigh called "Hi 5". The place was packed and the crowd was noisy and my child was perfect. She was a social butterfly. She LOVED all the attention. And she took a nap during the first half of the game!!! I was so worried all the screaming at the game would upset her. She LOVED it. Everyone (even the manager of the restaurant) said what a great kid she is. I know. :-)
