Baby Maggie, not for long
Written by lori on February 27th, 2010(I wrote this post about Maggie in mid-June, and had every intention of finishing it before Charlie was born. Oops!)
Before the new baby is born, I want to write down a little about Maggie, so that I don't forget her babyhood.
Maggie absolutely loves her big sister and her daddy. As soon as she wakes up in the morning she usually calls out first for Daddy and then second for Nannie. She loves to run and throw herself on anybody and plaster them with hugs and kisses, especially Annie and daddy. Whenever Maggie sees Josh laying on the floor, she throws herself down without regard for her own safety right on top of him and giggles and rolls all over.
She loves to antagonize her sister, her favorite form of torment is currently taking something from Annie and running away. She takes Annie's Zsa-Zsa (little security blankie/lovie) whenever she can and runs as fast as she can to get away. When she first started doing this months ago, it was hilarious, because she could barely run and she looked comical trying to get away. Now, she's actually kinda fast and gets further away from Annie before being knocked down by her in an effort to secure her most favorite posession.
Maggie is just a happy, chubby little baby, and has pretty much been this way from the beginning. She's pretty easy going. She loves to eat and is elated by her bottle (buh-buh), which was of course, her third word I think.
I love you my little Buggie, I hope you are always this sweet and cuddly.
Charlie Speaks
Written by lori on February 26th, 2010Charlie has been fighting a cold and teething for the past few days. His sweet little cheeks are chapped and so is the area under his little nose. He hasn't been sleeping so well either. Last night, as his usual routine has been this week, he fell asleep around 9pm and woke up a short time later. I rocked him, fed him and laid him back down, sure he would sleep this time.
Not so, he was up not even an hour later for more of the same. So, I laid down with him, fed him and we both fell asleep. He woke up a few more times before waking at 4:20 and staying awake until 6:00am. Then, finally I returned to bed only to have him wake up 20 minutes later. So, I got up, grumbled a little (OK that's a lie, I probably grumbled a lot).
A few hours later while I was holding him, he was happy and grinning and looked right at Josh and clearly and audibly said, "Daddy."
Little stinker! Daddy? And of course, his sisters said that first too.
Hey, Charlie, you had better remember just who feeds you little guy.
