Likes/Dislikes: This girl really started letting us know these last two months when she doesn't like something: throwing fits, refusing to sign for more food, squealing/yelling when she's upset, tackling Emma when she's fed up, etc. It's actually pretty funny and cute to see her take charge and that she isn't going to take any heat. Mags loves the swings at the park, playing with big sister in her room and being goofy. She still is truly the happiest girl and is always smiling. We can't get enough of her silly personality.
Development: Maggie is BUSY. While not walking yet, she is finally standing on her own if we put her on her feet in the middle of the room. We think walking will happen soon. She manages to squeeze in the smallest of spaces, climb (umm, on the toilet) and go up and down stairs just fine. She's talking/babbling more and says mom and mommy the most along with hi and bye. She signs please and more while shaking her head no when she doesn't want something. She understands the concept of phones going to your ear, necklaces over your head, shirts on and brushing your hair. Oh and tubes have been a lifesaver so far. This is the longest stretch of no ear infection in over 5 months.
Sleeping: She's a great sleeper still. Sleeping from 6:45 p.m. until about 6:30 or 7:00 a.m. every day. She continues to be like clock work and can't make it much past 7:00 at night before getting super tired and cranky. We pop her pacifier in and lay her down while she plays with her hair until she falls asleep almost immediately. Also still taking two naps a day.
Eating: We have got an eater on our hands. Seriously, this girl can eat...a lot. If she sees food, she's immediately whining for it and we can't get it to her fast enough. No joke, she eats as much, if not more than Emma. Sometimes even eating what Emma didn't finish. She likes just about everything, but goes through phases of different fruit. She also can really slam back the milk. Total opposite of Emma. I bet she drinks at least 18-20 ounces a day.
Adorable! What a sweetheart!
