A Week With Maggie



















My sister Kathleen and Maggie came to visit for a week on May 12. The girls had such a great time together. When Kathleen & Maggie came at Christmas it was very hectic. We had just moved into our new house, Maddie was quite shy since she had only been home with us for 3 months and everyone was sick:( This time it was just wonderful! They really interacted and played well with each other. During the week we went to the pool, went to the beach, played outside, and played bubbles (their favorite). They also both love to dance, hold hands and give hugs and kisses to each other. Since both their birthdays are in July, we decided to have a little birthday celebration for them while we were all together. Papa and Auntie Colleen from Michigan also came to visit and were there for the party. We chose a tinkerbell/fairy theme and bought the girls matching dresses to wear. It was a wonderful week with them and we look forward to the next time we see them.

Maddie went to the Dr. for her well visit on Friday and she is doing really well. She now weighs 24 lbs. and is 32 inches tall. She is continuing to steadily build her vocabulary with her newest words being ball, happy, bow, bubble & apple. She loves playing outside and we took her to the pool for the first time a couple weeks ago and she just loved it! She is also really into her flashcards and books lately. She goes through the entire stack of 25+ cards and has us label each one. She also has her favorite 6-8 books that we read every night before bed. I am SO glad she is finally more interested in her books.
