Maggie - Eight months

Today, our sweet Maggie is 8 months old!

She loves to crawl, cruise along the furniture, and get into anything and everything she shouldn't have. She loves to smile, cuddle, clap her hands, give kisses and she has definitely found her voice. She especially likes to babble in church so everyone can hear :)

Watching closely, I've even seen Maggie let go of the couch and stand, unassisted, for a couple seconds at a time...hard to believe the next big milestone will be those big first steps!

She has 3 teeth, two on bottom and one on top (left central incisor). She nurses about ten times a day yet...she's a snacker! She loves to eat, but I have learned she does not like 'baby food'. Nothing that goes on a spoon...not even applesauce. She likes to (try to) chew her food...which creates a problem for me. Finding things she can eat that she won't choke on is a difficult task, but this will be short lived I'm sure...sweet Maggie is growing so fast!

She LOVES to see her siblings and her face lights up when she sees them...Mason in particular. Something about her fun, goofy, biggest big brother that just makes her smile!

Today, we went out to the land and hiked around. Maggie liked the Moby, but definitely preferred facing away from me so she could see what was going on. She wanted to touch everything she could get her hands on...trees, leaves, twigs, etc...and I'd stop to let her explore frequently.

Maggie has touched our lives and our hearts in indescribable ways. Maggie, I love you, my Precious...you are my heart.
