My daughter has red hair. She’s a firecracker, so you better be ready. Just today she was working on becoming a cuter, smarter version of who she was yesterday….and she succeeded.
Even though she doesn’t totally crawl or walk yet (oh, is she close!) she moves really quick. She can roll like a tortilla. A tortilla with a firecracker rolled inside of it.
Well, World, be ready because this little Hooligan is ready to take you on and she’s pretty awesome.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Love,
ME
We’ve discovered around here, at HBHQ, that things that were designed to be functional can also double as toys. This was found to be true last night as I was going through a pile of clothes to get rid of and I plunked Maggie inside a laundry basket next to me while I sorted clothes.
As I sat her down I expected to see a panicked look and hear noises of uneasiness. I was wrong. So it goes with parenting, remember? Â Anyhow, as Maggie sat in the blue basket and I sorted clothes, she discovered the goodness of fitting in to a new space.
I stopped sorting clothes to watch her discovery unfold and it was pretty astounding because within a short minute or two, Maggie had pulled herself into a standing position. I let her stand until the basket started to tip back and forth as she crunched her legs up and down.
Who knows, maybe tomorrow she’ll have discovered the toilet paper dispenser.
Awesome.
