7 months!

Miss Maggie is 7 months old! I'm so sad when I think that in 5 short months that we'll be celebrating her 1st birthday. But on the flip side, she gets better and better each month so there's always something fun to look forward to!

Big "firsts" for this month:
  • Yea, Maggie is sitting up completely unassisted and rarely falls over, unless big sister pushes her!

  • Mags enjoyed her first trip to Florida and even more importantly and fun, Disney World!

  • Maggie is a Diaper Dolphin at Miller Swim School. Yes, I know she won't learn to swim at this age, but Kate got to do it and why should Maggie get the short end just because she's 2nd?!


  • She has graduated into a convertible car-seat, of course still backward facing. This means that she grew out of her infant seat. This also means that when she falls asleep in the car it's a total bummer because I have to physically get her out of the seat versus just getting the whole seat out. But she loves that she sits up higher and can see her big sister to her left. I can see her in my rear view mirror and she is usually looking very adoringly at Kate and whatever she is doing to entertain at the moment!

Maggie is awesome! The only issue I have with her is that every Sunday morning I get complete anxiety because for some reason she cries the entire time she's in the church nursery. Miss Heather or Miss Kara usually have to come rescue her from her room and either take her to theirs or stroll her around. But maybe that's part of her master plan?! Otherwise, Maggie is truly a dream baby, drool and all!

Maybe next month we can post about a new tooth or maybe even more exciting...crawling! But on the other hand, I would rather it just be a new tooth. I'm enjoying this stage of her staying right where I've left her!:)

Another comparison shot...Maggie is the top picture (please notice the drool hanging from her chin!) and Kate is the bottom.

Oh wow! I can't believe she is 7 months old!! Maggers is getting sooo big!!! I love that she is doing Diaper Dolphins and no she shouldn't be left out! Because there will come a day when she gets to do something before Kate did or gets something Kate wanted (not that i'm speaking from experience!) :) As far as church goes...that is totally Mags master plan, she can't get enough of us so there for she lets Miss Jan have it until we hear her precious screaming and rescue her!!! She's a smart girl, she knows what she wants!! :)

I love reading about Maggie, you coulg just as well be writing about Ella. They are doing all the same things! Watch out for the crawling, Ella is getting close so Mags will be right behind her!
