Entertain Me, Please

Naptime has become playtime as well. I have started putting toys in Maggie's bed so that she can play with them before she falls asleep. I am sure this is considered bad parenting in many books, but she loves it. And, I love that she just squeals and plays until she goes to sleep. I took these pictures after her nap today. She did not sleep in her bow. I added that simply for the pictures to be extra cute. =) Take note of all of the extra items in her crib. Is it odd to sleep with blocks?

I'm so happy when I wake up!Almost there!Bingo!

Bath Time is the Best Time!

This is a wonderful part of our nightly bedtime routine. Bath time is Maggie's favorite...well, maybe tied with her bottle. I thought the pictures were fun of her splashing. Maggie has gotten to the point where she drenches the floor because she is splashing so hard with her arms and/or legs. It is so fun for her, and somewhat fun for me. I just love watching her have a good time.
Splish, splash!

Daddy keeps Maggie warm and dry!
She still loves her feet!

Walking on a Sunny Afternoon

The weather has finally been warm enough to walk outside a little bit. Maggie and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Maggie isn't as sure that she likes her glasses as much as the outdoors. We'll see if she gets used to them.

Lunch with Our Valentine

Maggie and I ate a late lunch with Matt on Valentines Day. We, of course, had to be festive and dress the part. Also, we took along gifts for our Valentine...cookies and a picture of Maggie for Matt's desk. We went to a pizza place on main street. Maggie took in all of the sites and sounds. We felt truly blessed on our first Valentines Day as a family of three.

Precious Moments

What more could I ask for than this?

Time with Cousins!

Thomas wants Maggie to play!

Elizabeth was such a good helper with Maggie. She helped me give her a bath. She wanted to do it all, but I told her we would have to wait until she is a little older to take on that responsibility. Elizabeth really got into the bath (she literally got into the bath tub.) That is why her pants are so wet in the pictures. Maggie was amused by her, but still doesn't know what to think of other children. I can't wait for Maggie to get older and really appreciate her sweet cousins.

Thankful for the Little Things.

Lord, thank you for Maggie's sweet little feet and toes. She loves them! In fact, usually when I check on her during nap time, she is too busy enjoying her feet to sleep. It makes me think...I guess we should all be that grateful for our feet. So, I encourage you to do what I did today. Spend a minute of your time thanking the Lord for something you take for granted.
