Maggie @ 6 months

The first 1/2 year of my baby's life has flown by way too fast (doesn't it always?)!! Maggie is such an easy, smiley, and laid-back baby. I thank God for sending me my little angel.

Maggie has started eating some avocado on occasion...and I've learned (thanks Sarah!) that giving her a LARGE piece of avocado (1/4 of a whole one) is much easier for her to eat than cutting it up into small pieces...which she just smashes into a huge mess on her tray.

Maggie sleeps about 10-11 hours at night, and JUST cut down to only 2 naps per day. Each nap is around 2 hours. She is a great sleeper!

Maggie LOVES her siblings...and they all love to entertain her and watch her try to crawl. She is also teething and loves to chew on anything! She has a little rash on her cheeks from all her chewing and chewing and drooling and drooling...

Maggie does NOT like being left alone in a room. If she is in her exersaucer upstairs and we are all elsewhere she fusses until someone comes in the room. She also cries at an occasional strange face, although usually it's only when she's really tired.

We are so blessed to have our beautiful Magdalene Jean in our family. Our hearts grow more each day with love for our little one...

Here's a video of sisterly love...I wish you could hear the sound better, but I took this video secretly. Charlotte had no idea I was videoing her....you can hear her singing toward the end pretty good. This video also demonstrates Maggie's crawling progress :)
