6 Months

I wrote this about 3 weeks ago, but haven't been keeping up lately...since this is sort of a scrapbook for me, I'm posting now:

Maggie is 6 months now (11/15/09)! I know that every parent says time flies, but it really is true! It seems like yesterday that we brought our sweet baby girl home from the hospital. Maggie is a wonderful baby. She is very laid back much like her brother (or I should say WAS right now--after all he is 2). She sleeps well and is starting to move around much more on the floor. She scoots backwards and then gets frustrated cause she wants something in front of her. She has been getting on all fours and rocking a bit, so she will probably be everywhere very soon. For such a tiny thing she sure is strong! Her 6 month stats are as follows:

Weight: 13 lbs 10th%

Height: 24.5 inches 25th%

Head: 25th%

I must say after they weighed her I was a bit concerned at how little she is, but the doctor who is generally pretty conservative when it comes to these things, wasn't the slightest bit concerned. She said Maggie is just petite and is likely just "coming into her own".

Sleeping Beauty

My sweet baby girl has been sleeping through the night for over 3 weeks!!!!! Woohoo Maggie!!! It's hard to believe you will be 6 months old in a few days!!! Where is the time going?

This is how I found her the other morning when I went to go wake her. Gotta love it!

Halloween 2009

We had so much fun this Halloween! Greyson was so much more into it than the year before and loved trick-or-treating. However, being the 2 year old that he is, the costume selection process was not so fun! Originally, he was going to be a giraffe, Maggie a lion, and Mike and I safari people. Well, let's just say we ran into a snag a few days before Halloween when Greyson didn't want to wear his giraffe costume. Oh boy!!! I took Greyson to several stores in hopes that he would find something he really loved. He wavered between Thomas the train, Spiderman, a race car driver, a pumpkin, and batman. I got lucky and found a batman costume and he finally decided he would wear it. He ended up loving it, and has even worn it since Halloween! Lesson learned: next year, he will be picking out his own costume from the get go!

Fall trip to San Antonio

This weekend we went to San Antonio to visit Grandpa and Grandma, and Grandmother. We had a great time! On Saturday Daddy, Grandpa, and Grey went to a hobby shop and watched all sorts of trains, while the girls hung out. Greyson LOVED it! While there Greyson got a Thomas the Train hat which he wouldn't take off the entire weekend. He took naps and went to bed with it on. Saturday night Grandpa and Grandma watched the kiddos while Mommy and Daddy went to dinner on the Riverwalk and went to see a show. We had a wonderful time. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma! On Sunday Grandmother went with us to the San Antonio Botanical Gardens to see the Bugs exhibit and enjoy the Halloween festivities.

2009 Pumpkin Patch Visit

This morning we took a short trip to the Bethany United Methodist pumpkin patch. It was a perfect day for the outing! We had grand expectations of getting a good family pic and even brought our tripod for such a thing. But, no luck!!!! Greyson is going through a phase where he will not take pictures. We can't get him to sit next to Maggie, and he won't smile at the camera when you want him to. I know it's just a phase, but it is frustrating to say the least.
