Maggie: Eleven Months

Just like that, we have an almost one year old. Please take your time growing older my sweet girl.

Likes/Dislikes: She likes getting into mommy's magazines (should probably move them) and getting into the entertainment center while smiling at us as we tell her no. Maggie likes crawling over to toys and books to play or when big sister lets her play in her room with her. She also loves splashing in teh tub, chewing on toys and being outside. Our girl hates grass so much that she cries or whines til we pick her up. I hear this is the case for most kids, but Emma loved it from the beginning. 

Development: Maggie's learned to crawl up a couple of stairs, crawl over things and walk around the coffee table or couch (while still holding on). She's talking or mumbling more and getting more animated.

Sleeping: While she is currently cutting teeth and sick (hello croup and yeast infection), sleep has been off the last week. But outside of the past week, it's the normal 7pm to 6:30am with two naps during the day. The last week has been her not putting herself to sleep as well and waking multiple times a night. Crossing my fingers she's back to "normal" soon for all of us to get back to some well rested nights.

Eating: What doesn't this girl like?!?! She loves ALL food. Really, she does. Maybe strawberries is the one food we tried this last week that she spits right out. Otherwise she loves all veggies, fruit, pasta and trying what we eat for dinner.

Family Update: Matt and the team made it to Chicago for the Sweet Sixteen, so naturally, the girls and I joined them. While it wasn't the turnout we hoped for, the girls rocked the bus ride to/from Chicago and were super good at the game. Now that the season is over, we are re-adjusting (like we do every year) to having Matt around full time and enjoying the family time. The girls and Matt are battling some sinus issues and both the girls have croup, so we are looking forward to some healthy days ahead.
