Likes:

A warm bath

Laughing with Evie

Time in the Exersaucer

Sucking on her fingers

Sitting in her high chair watching all the kitchen action

Dislikes:
Not having a regular nap (Time for a schedule)
Evie poking her too aggressively
Wet diapers

Other:

Maggie loves being in on the action. She wants to be in the same room with us.

She's starting to crave a regular nap schedule. Time for me to work on that.

Maggie has taken an interest in what I am eating or drinking. She reaches for my cup of water, or bite of food. She likes sitting in her high chair while we eat. Solids are right around the corner. We might start a little earlier than 6 months.

We can't tell if her bottom teeth are coming in or not. She's been chewing on her fingers more than sucking lately, and she's been extra drooly.

Maggie rolled over once at Grandma & G. Daddy's but hasn't rolled over since. Probably my fault for not giving her enough tummy time.

She continues to be a super easy baby, nurses well, sleeps well and is generally a happy girl!

Where has she been?*

It's been a while, friends. Hi! Where did we leave off? Ah yes, the roach . He's still alive. It's been over 10 days. Though, he's slowing down and looking a little skinnier than when we first found him. Maybe I'm making it up. I've started my new job with my friends lawn maintenance company. Most of my time has been spent learning all the new (to me) software, moving the office to it's new locations, and just learning what the company does and offers. Chris and I have had a great time working together so far. I'm really enjoying learning new things. Chris has already taught me a lot about great customer service. This weekend was my last retreat with middle school kids. It was bittersweet. We had a spirit filled weekend full of lots of laughs, low ropes, rock wall, ultimate frisbee, prayer, and learning about Jesus. Our theme was "You Never Let Go" and we discussed three parables: The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, ...

Baking with Betty: Dunwoody Dip

You're probably asking yourself, what is Dunwoody Dip? And it's a great question! It's easy to make. Melty. Cheesy. Meaty. A little bit spicy. And everyone LOVES it! The origin, though, it's a more difficult to nail down. My grandmother, who is from Dunwoody, Ga, actually heard about this dip when she was visiting friends in Denver. Urban legend has it that some guy brought the dip to a party in Denver and when prompted for a name he stalled and said "Dunwoody Dip." Because, apparently he was from Dunwoody. Who really knows? All I do know, is that this dip is yummy, very easy to make, and is always the first gone at a party or family get together. Also, Eric might have married me because of this... Dunwoody Dip Ingredients: One tube of Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage Two cans of Rotel Tomatoes - Hot Two bars of Cream Cheese Big bag of Fritos Scoops Directions: Preheat oven to 325. In a large frying pan over medium-ish heat, brown the sausage. ...
