I (Maggie) have been awful about taking pictures lately. Marie's new tricks (not that she's a trained animal) include: clapping, waving "hi" and "bye bye", eating table food, and making some terribly funny new sounds. Her favorite food so far is cheese. Surprisingly, broccoli is a close second. She's enjoying turkey and chicken, and is NOT a fan of peaches. Still no crawling from our 9 1/2 month old. I'm trying to be patient. Her daddy didn't crawl until a year, so I'm not holding my breath. She's got two new teeth coming in and has been a bit on the fussy side lately. But when she is teething she is really cuddly, so that makes up for the whining.
We're moving on January 6th and are trying to enjoy our time here and not view this last month as a count-down. We have loved IL, our friends, our neighborhood and our church. It's not going to be an easy move, but at least we won't be 7 months pregnant starting all over again. It will be interesting to see God's plans for us over the next year. I never imagined that they would take us back to NC. It's exciting and confusing at the same time.
Well, here you go. I only have a few to share this time...
Broccoli is bliss.
Turkey's great, but the carrots I could do without.
Nana Carolyn treating Marie to a reading of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear". Marie can sit there and have books read to her for an hour straight. Believe me, I know.
Sweetie.
Yummy!
You mean I really get to play with this stuff?
