Maggie eating a pickle

We went out for lunch a few weeks ago and Maggie wanted to try my pickle. I'm not sure if she liked it or not, decide for yourself!!

Here she is walking!!

We finally took a video of Maggie walking across the kitchen. She was all over the place yesterday!!

Maggie's Vocabulary

Maggie is saying a lot of new words, both verbally and in sign language. She really picks up anything people are saying to her.

Some of the new words she is saying are:

Pupup for dog, while she pats either her belly or leg for the sign
Wawa for water, while she taps her mouth with her hand for the sign
Ba for ball
Buhbuh for bubbles, which she loves to carry around with her. She actually fell asleep with a bottle of bubbles in her hand today!
Baybay for baby, while she signs rocking a baby
Teees for cheese, while she smashes her palms together
Mama for more and milk, while she points her fingers together for more and mimics milking a cow for milk
Beh for bread
Pea-pea-pea for please, while she rubs her chest. She mainly says this when she wants to be picked up.
Uh-Oh!! all the time!!!

She also does the signs for pacifier, sleep (and says nigh nigh), eat, and thank you.

She's trying to say Ethan, but sound more like teeth!!!

Yes she is!!

Maggie decided to start walking on her own yesterday. We were at her cousin Piper's birthday party and just as soon as Piper sat down to open presents, Maggie walked from me to her and wanted to help. Piper didn't like that too much, but everyone was just happy to see Maggie walk and Maggie was happy to see Piper!!

Maggie walking?

Maggie has been walking around holding hands and using furniture to navigate for months. In March, she would walk to you if you put her on the floor right in front of you (so about 2 steps if you were lucky!). This week she has been deciding to let go of what she is holding on to and walk to something else. She took more than 6 steps. We have a walker!!! Now if I can just get it on video...

First trip to the Zoo

Maggie took her first trip to the zoo last week. We went with her Aunt Tonia, cousin Ethan, and our friends Heather and Nathan. Maggie didn't seem extremely interested, but that was probably because she was too short to see most of the animals! Next time we will have to bring Daddy so he can pick her up to see them.

While we were there, it was super hot. Maggie's face was super red, which is proof that she is my daughter! When she gets hot, her face gets red, just like Mommy!

Swimming at John's

We went swimming on Sunday at our friend John's house. It was hot! Maggie was in the pool with Mommy and Daddy for hours! She loved it and did not want to get out. We will definitely be going many many more times this summer. Maybe she'll be swimming on her own by the end of the summer!
