Maggie is the cutest!

Maggie is saying more and more words, but they aren't always that clear. For example, when she says sandwich, it sounds like sa-wah. Shower sounds like sha-wah. Sailboat sounds like see-bah. She finally started saying Dani for her Aunt Danielle! She said 2 phrases so far, "aunt home" and "hi daddy".

Maggie is learning her colors. She can point out red, green, pink, orange, blue, and yellow. Sometimes she will say the wrong color, but she gets most of the right! She starts to sing the ABCs by saying "A B C D" then a bunch of other letters and sounds. Maggie is starting to sing other songs too. She say "name-o" for BINGO, "up-a-bup" for Twinkle, Twinkle Little Stars, and "see-bah" for a song we sang at gymnastics.

I can't believe she's getting so big and SO smart!!

New tricks

Every day Maggie is able to do more and more!

She loves to color, although she would rather look at the crayons than actually color with them. We are trying to teach her colors. She wants to call everything blue or orange. I thought for sure she knew orange because she kept pointing it out on everything. We'll get there soon!

She stopped asking to use the potty, but now she says diaper when she has just pooped, so it's a start back in the right direction.

We took Maggie and her cousin Ethan to visit Daddy at the firehouse. The both wanted to either "drive" the firetruck or walk around and touch everything. The vehicles are a little intimidating!


We were supposed to get pictures taken outside, but it was raining all morning! So, we took a great picture ourselves! Then we went to lunch with Aunt Emily and Uncle Tyler at Portillo's before heading over to our friend Maggie's 3rd birthday party. Maggie loved riding the car there!

Park


On Saturday, Chris took pictures of John & Missy at the park, so Maggie and I joined him to spend some time outside. It was a beautiful day! We walked around the park, looked at the ducks, sat in the grass, and played on the swings. Maggie was so tired that she fell asleep within about 5 minutes after we left the park.

Stack

Maggie is now learning how to stack things. She stacks books, blocks, cups, pretty much anything that she can! Here is a video of her trying out her new skill.
