Other:

With the flu, cold, and teeth coming in Maggie has been up at least once, sometimes twice during the night for the last five to six weeks. She's usually very hungry.

We're ramping up solids during the day with puffs, cheerios, and a sampling of whatever we're eating for that meat. She much prefers this to purees.

Maggie is fantastic with her sippy cup.

When Eric is feeling brave he will put both girls in the bath tub together. This is especially fun now that Maggie sits and splashes along with Evie.

It takes a few tries but she can go from sitting to crawling position.

Started standing with help or when propped up

We packed up the Exersaucer and play mat with our last attic trip. It's time she really work on crawling and scooting around.

Maggie loved Christmas. She enjoyed the extra snuggles with all the family, the bright lights, and most especially eating the wrapping paper!

My favorite part of the day is when Evie getting Maggie to belly laugh.

Just for fun, visit our other monthly updates!

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. ...
