Aquarium




Maggie went to the aquarium today with Ethan, Mommy, Sarah Hester & Sarah's mom Michelle. Maggie loved it! We stood at the giant fish tank for the longest time just watching all of the fish, eels, and turtles.

We are going back on Saturday when Aunt Natalie comes to visit, so I will post more pictures next week.

Smarter every day

Maggie is quickly approaching her 2nd birthday and she is learning so much every day! Here are some things that she knows & some things that she is learning:

Colors
Maggie knows her colors in Spanish! The only one that she has a hard time with is Orange, which is a pretty tricky one!
We are working on naming different animals in Spanish & counting in Spanish. Everything we talk about, Maggie always asks "What's that in panish?" **Note: She says panish, not Spanish, so it's not a typo!! lol

Presidents
Maggie can name the first 3 presidents when given their first name. She also can tell you the current president (Obama!) but she's been able to do that for awhile. Her favorite to say is "Joe Biden!" She doesn't need any help with that name!! We are working on naming the Secretary of State, the Mayor, the Governor, and the 4th & 5th presidents.

ABCs
Maggie can recognize all of the letters of the alphabet in Uppercase. She also knows at least one word that begins with each letter.

Finally, she just learned that her birthday is April 21st! I cannot believe my baby is going to be 2!!!

almost two

Maggie's birthday (and party) are coming up very soon! As I'm planning her theme, I have come upon several ideas. Some of my favorite blogs are Kara's party planning (who is giving away a $100 gift certificate to Picadilly Circus designs, which has some cute shirts for birthdays!), the Hostess with the Mostess, and of course I love Etsy!

More to come on Maggie's party!
