Hi!

Margaret, with my blackberry, saying Hi!

Margaret wearing Max's backpack from Great Granny and Grandad. She really loves it.

After the Egg Hunt

Margaret really enjoyed her first Easter Egg Hunt! But she wore herself out. Here's a picture of her moments after we left the Egg Hunt to head home. Tired baby!

Lil' Pirate

Here is a close up of Margaret in her high chair, wearing her Lil' Pirate outfit from Hayley.

Margaret with her bracelet. She keeps it in her purse from LaDell.

And here she is, reachinginto her purse, to pull out another treat. She can stick her arm in up to the elbow! I really thought she was going to end up keeping cars in her purse, but she keeps the accessories that came with the purse toy inside it. She's got 2 bracelets, a piece of crinkly play money, a mirror (that she looks at and says "Baby!"), a lipstick shaped rattle, and a set of keys.

Thanks Hayley -- Pirate Wear

Margaret is now big enough to wear Max's awesome pirate onesie from Hayley. She has outgrown her Pirate Princess outfit, which is sad, but at least she can now wear this one. On the front "I smell trouble" and on the back "Caution Below Deck - Trouble Brewing"

Thanks Hayley!

Weigh In Success

18 pounds, 12 ounces! so she gained almost 2 ounces a day over the course of the week. Awesome! 31 inches tall

Chillin' At Mickey D's!

NannyJo has been a great partner in our quest to fatten up Margaret before her weigh in tonight. Here you can see Margaret chillin out at McDonalds before Max goes to school. if she ate all this, our worries would be over!

Tiny Ponytail!

Yesterday NannyJo put a tiny ponytail in Margaret's hair, but it got knocked out by the carseat. When we got home I got one of the tiny little hair bands I got for Margaret, and I was able to distract her long enough to put in another ponytail. It stayed for over an hour!

Have you seen the Muffin Meg?

We had muffins at work yesterday morning as part of a celebration. I took the leftover muffins home. Margaret ATE IT UP! I wish I had kept more muffins to take home. It had to be full of fat and calories and she was loving it!

Dinner for Margaret was chili and rice, yogurt, and salmon. With a mixture of whole milk and strawberry pediasure. This has got to be putting some weigh to on her!

Meg loves chili

Loves it so much she shoves it into her mouth by the handful! She had a spoon. That was too slow!

Bike Ride

So I did not have my phone or camera with me, so I was not able to photo-document the cute, but... Yesterday it was 85 degrees so Max was outside riding his tricycle. He was willing to try the pedals, so I was pushing him. Margaret wanted to join in the fun, so she watched what we were doing and then figured out what she could do to help. She held on to the handlebars on one side and "helped" Max learn how to ride his bike. They both had so much fun doing it!

Meg's special seat

When we get home, I unstrap Meggie and let her stand up from her car seat on her own. Yesterday she decided her car seat was her special chair, and she kept sitting in it. Whatever makes her happy! And we already know I love her flower-power pants with the frilly ruffles around the bottom of the legs!

Flower Power at MyGym

M&M Watch OK GO

I started having Max watch OK GO videos during his nebulizing time. It keeps him entertained and it keeps me entertained too! Baby, of course, wants to do whatever Max is doing. So she now sits either on my lap or on the table to watch with him. What I love most about the picture is that Max put his hand behind her while they were watching. I love how much they love each other!

Meggie in brown and pink

I was trying to get a picture of her shoes, so of course her feet are in motion. But this is Margaret from this morning. She's wearing a brown top and matching pants in brown with pink trim, super frilly pink socks, and brown shoes from Trout.
