90 Days of Maggie

You may be wondering where my 3 month post is- yes it is late... I did manage to do her 3 month video on time though which is good..we have been videoing her on her monthly birthdays, just little tidbits on what she is doing etc..hopefully we will be able to get one year on one disc. So Maggzilla is weighing in at roughly 12.5 lbs, has upped her diaper size to #2's and is wearing 3-6 month old clothes. She really smiles at us alot now and can hold her head up pretty well. I think that she is getting her two top teeth as her gums are bumpy and swollen and she drools and chews on everything. We have also had some pretty grumpy days on and off with lots of crying and minimal napping, so it seems to fit. 3 months seems a little young for teeth, but I read it isn't that unusual..my aunt says her daughter teethed at 3 1/2 months or so. She has a johnny jumper that she likes alot, not much jumping but she stands in it and plays with toys. Her smarty pants dad figured out we can swing her in it too since she is still small and she falls asleep in it- pretty cute. It is fun to see her learning things everyday, one day she starts doing something that she wasn't the day before, it is pretty amazing to watch...Here is her discovery of Baby Einstein. I hadn't intended for her to even be interested in it, but she so is!

Maggie Jo's First Camping Trip!


Yes we went camping with a 2 1/2 month old- big deal. You should have heard people when we asked them if they take their kids camping- most of them said no way, not to do it until they are 3-4 years old!! Whatever. We like a challenge! It wasn't as easy as it used to be, we had more stuff than ever before, but it was far from impossible... The only bad thing was that it got a little colder than we anticipated, but Maggie slept with me on my cot, so she was fine. Amiel got some rock climbing in with his buddies and all the girls (Amy, Maggie, Sheila, Nelli!!) hung out at camp, or went hiking. Next summer will be even better I am sure...
