A fun afternoon with Daddy

Determined!

Maggie just totally amazed me... She started out flat on her belly, crawled a few feet to this toy basket, pulled up on it, and then selected this lid to play with and went to town. Wow! I had no idea she was capable of that.

On the move

We had to break out our play yard fencing because just yesterday Maggie officially started crawling. This will keep her away from the stairs and as an added bonus Hank is loving having some space all to himself on the "dangerous" side.

Maggie is incredibly proud of herself but it is SO much harder to keep track of her now. And also much harder to keep Hank from jumping/stepping/falling on her when she's a moving target!

Swing!

We ate lunch outside today to enjoy this nice fall weather and let Maggie swing for the first time. She loved it! Although we soon realized we'll need another swing when Hank kept saying she was in "MY swing".

Teeth!

I just now felt a sharp little tooth coming out on Maggie's bottom gums! Her first!

Hank is also hard at work getting those 2 year molars out -- they're actually visible now!

A rockin'

This weekend Maggie began to get up on her knees and start rocking all by herself! Go Mags!

Maggie's 6-Month Checkup

Maggie and I headed out to see Dr. Cush-John this morning for her 6-month well-visit. She is, of course, perfect as usual. Here are her measurements:
26.5" tall
17 lbs.
17" head circumference

All are in the 50-75th percentile. Excellent for a girl that started out in the 25th percentile on everything!

I just loved the way she would play with the paper on the table and then stop to smile really BIG at the mirror baby. She's almost sitting up on her own--just a little wobbly still. And now we can give her fruits & vegetables twice a day, so she'll get more than just formula or milk or cereal. Go Mags!
