Bits 'n Pieces of an 8 Month Old's Day

What a fun thing to share the day with Maggie...everyday! Each day holds something new and different.

We often get to visit with different friends and family driving through Columbus.

My brother, Joseph, is visiting colleges (he will be a senior at FPD). On his way back from visiting Auburn he stopped by to give Maggie a little gift. He recently went to Casa Hogar (an orphanage in Acapulco, First Pres visits every year; many of us have been there over the past summers). He bought Maggie the cutest little dress which she was so excited to immediately put on and show off...what a great souvenir!

Sunday mornings are a special time for Jack and Maggie. They get up and go to Dunkin Donuts for coffee while I sleep a little longer. Then we all three have to get ready for church (it's the only morning, all week, we all three have to get ready and out the door by a certain time). It's a sweet reminder to me not to rush too much when I look over and see Jack and Maggie still playing together:)
This is Maggie in a sweet smock dress Martha Griffin made. (Martha is Jarred's mom...a dear friend of Jack's and Stephanie's boyfriend)

Maggie and I have been going to the pool some (this is her cute little cover up). She has come to love the water! We have a fun float and the other children at the pool seem to entertain her the whole time we are there! She just picked out her first swim suit (pink with Disney princesses on it); we will have to post some pictures of it soon.

Maggie enjoys playtime. She will play anywhere in the house (the den, kitchen, hallway, nursery). She wants to make sure I am not far away though. This is a video of her playing in her room; near the end, I start to tickle her which makes her crack up!

This is her singing/talking. She loves communicating with people (if you have been around her long enough, you will hear her sweet little voice straining to participate in the conversation).
