Maggie: Ten Months

Measurements:

Weight: 18lbs
Length: about 30in
Feeds: nurses 4-5 times a day & introducing bottles on occasion; 1-2 squeeze pouches at meals + a small portion of our dinner; Yogis and puffs for snacks
Diapers:  Tots Bots, Bum Genius 4.0s, Thirsties pockets and AIO, and Bottom Bumpers OS.  Size 3 in disposables (at night)
Clothes:  12 month and 12-18 months; unpacking the 18 months
Shoes: none
Teeth: two bottoms; two tops

Firsts:

1/12/15 - goes from sitting to crawling
1/19/15 - pointed to Eric and said "Dada"
2/6/15 - celebrated best-buddy Josh's First Birthday

Milestones:

Maggie still isn't crawling, but is getting closer every day.  She rolls or scoots on her bottom to get around the room.

She can go from laying to sitting but only in her crib. We're not sure how to she does it.

Thankfully, Maggie is back to sleeping through the night.

Both top teeth are about halfway in.

We occasionally give Maggie a formula bottle. She can easily feed it to herself.

Maggie can sort of pull up on things. She likes to stand when we help her.

One of her favorite activities is to pull things out of bags, boxes, or drawers.  She's great at  put-and-take.

Continues to be great at waving and clapping.

I realized this month that her clogged tear duct finally opened up! It's as if over night it was fine.

And oh, the Bewitching Hour.  Maggie really struggled with this as a newborn, but it's back with a vengeance.  She screams like a pterodactyl from about 4:30-6:00pm, of course when I am making dinner. Nothing seems to distract her.

Likes:

When Evie comes in to "play" first thing in the morning
Watching the big kids play
Eating shoes (we use shoes as bait to practice crawling)
Eating my phone
Eating paper
Listening to the bells at Mass
Playing in the bathtub with Evie

Dislikes:

 When I leave her eyesight
Waiting for the bacon to warm up (no seriously, she screams)
Excessive time in her high chair
Having toys taken away by sister


We Are:

So thankful Maggie is such an easy baby and a great sleeper
Anxious for a third though we know we need to wait
Enjoying every snuggle with both our girls
Really hitting a groove with having two kids - we seem to go out to eat, Mass, travel etc very smoothly now


Just for fun, visit our other monthly updates!

    Girl.friend. Shakeology. It's the only thing that keeps my autoimmune disease in check (lowers inflammation, helps digestion, clears toxins from the body, etc). For reals. xoxo

    I keep thinking, she's so tall! And beautiful too. That first photo is stunning. Lena's like 4+ lbs heavier at 1, but Maggie is just as long. Love her!

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. ...
