Maggie is such a bright spot in our family that it's very difficult to remember what life was like before she joined us! She is such a doll. This is what is going on in Maggie's life at 8 months:
-She is crawling very fast, pulling herself up on everything, standing on her own after steadying herself on something, and starting to take a few steps on her own occasionally.
-She loves to play with toys, especially anything that brother Aaron is playing with (already)!
-Almost everything she touches goes straight into her mouth. Her favorite things to put in her mouth are anything she can find under the kitchen table (she cruises under there to see if Aaron has dropped any food) and any and all shoes!
-Maggie's mouth is starting to fill up with teeth! She has the two front teeth on the bottom, one of her top front teeth, and the other top front tooth and the one right next to it are pushing through right now. You can see another one that is almost ready to cut through as well! We think she's hoping to eat turkey by Thanksgiving!
-She loves to eat food, particularly finger foods. (She's getting really good at her pincer grasp!) Her favorites are puffs, those baby cheese puff things, baby dried fruits, and she loves the Ella's Kitchen brand foods that mix fruits and veggies.
-She loves to laugh and smile, especially at Daddy and Aaron!
-She is ticklish, especially on her neck and inner thighs, and likes to be tickled.
-When you say to Maggie, "How big is Maggie?" she will put her arms up in the air when you say, "SO big."
-Maggie likes to be held and will crawl around behind you when she wants you to pick her up.
-She is a decent sleeper- goes to bed at 7, usually gets up once in the night to eat and often ends up sleeping in our bed after that until about 6 or 6:30. She naps at 9 am for about 30-45 minutes, again at about 12:30 for usually 1 1/2 - 2 hours, and then often again around 4 for about 30 minutes.
-Maggie loves to be around other kids and really gets right in the mix with them.
We love Maggie so much and think that she is the cutest little girl that we've ever seen! Don't you?!
(Maggie loves phones! She is holding mine here.)

I sure do think she is the SWEETEST little girl :) LOVE that shirt- remember when Claire was small enough to wear it...time goes too fast! Her hair looks so light in those pictures- do you think it's getting lighter? Love you Maggie Lynn :)
