Lots of awesome pictures taken by Abbie.

Taking care of the babies

Lucy and Maggie feeding their babies.
All tucked in for a nap.

Daisy got a pretty new collar and bone. Libby got a new harness, but she was outside playing at the time of pictures.Lucy playing with Jon's old Transformers.

Poor Maggie was up part of the night last night with a stuffy nose. Lucy started with the bug on Friday. She said she had 10 sickies then the next day when I got her out of her bed she said she was fantastic and was playing like normal. I hope Maggie recovers as well. She seems to be doing pretty good. No fever and she is playing and eating.

Two Peas

Maggie will only drink out of a bottle or a straw - no sippy cups for her. She loves that she now has a Dora cup like Lucy's. For some reason Dora Water is better that plain old water.
We found the second chair at Hobby Lobby today. We had a 40% off coupon burning a whole in our pocket and couldn't resist.

Is this seat taken?

Wiggle Wiggle
Scooch over just a hair.

I fit.

Why did you leave?

Ahhhh...this is better.

Just Playing

I got out the Christmas books yesterday. Lucy loves this one that plays music.
Maggie likes to play kitchen. She is starting to stir and cook rather than just opening all the doors and throwing everything on the floor.

Bunny Cake

Jon got back from his European travels today. We waited for him to have Maggie's cake.

When I asked Lucy what kind of cake Maggie should have for her birthday she didn't miss a beat and replied, "A bunny cake!!"
Maggie really loved being sung to.
She was also very happy to have Daddy home. She even shared her beloved blankie with him.

Maggie doesn't mess around when it comes to food.

Cake beard.

P.S. Maggie took two baby steps today.

Checkup

Be sure to look at all 3 posts I added today. We have been busy bees the last few days.

I gave Maggie her first haircut this morning. She did great. She is so calm and trusting. We just snipped a little off the front. I had been resisting cutting bangs since it is such a struggle with Lucy to get them trimmed. Then yesterday at the doctor he asked about the rash on her forehead. I told him it was from me and Lucy pushing the hair out of her eyes. He asked it we had thought about a trim. Sometimes it takes someone you respect pointing out the obvious to make you realize what really needs to be done.
What you talking about Mama?
Sleeping Beauty (as Lucy calls her) slept through the night last night for the first time since Friday. She has been struggling with Daddy being away and teething.
Here are her numbers from the doctor:
Weight: 22# 7oz (75%)
Height: 30" (75%)
Head: 18 1/2" (90-95%)
