"If you don't see the book on the shelf, write it." ~ Beverly Cleary
Yesterday Barry’s parents and his moms’s parents made it down for some Maggie Mae holding time.
Maggie was passed around and slept the entire time.
Just as everyone pulled out of the driveway she awoke and started to cry, cry, cry!
Perhaps Maggie is super social and would rather be around a group of people, rather than just Barry and I. Apparently we aren’t cool enough to keep her cool.
Or maybe we just don’t yet have the magic touch that grandmas and great grandmas have.
Last night Barry changed and dressed Maggie after a bit of a feeding-related accident. She appeared in his arms wearing the outfit pictured above.
Not that it matters, but I found myself laughing at the combination of red striped sweats and the flowered onesie.
It just seemed like such a random combination.
In other news, Maggie, Sydney and I went for our first walk together today. Up until this point I’ve relied on somebody else to either carry Maggie or hold Syd’s leash.
It felt so great to strap Maggie to my chest, harness Sydney up and stride out for the first time. It will become a part of our daily routine now that the first time is under our belt.
Plus, having summer-like weather only helps to motivate me to get a move on!
Three weeks old and she has us wrapped around her teeny-tiny fingers.
I think she’s got a wicked sense of humor because she cracks a smile at most appropriate times, as if she is following along with the conversations around her.
She’s got Barry’s toes, curling while she eats.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this girl.
Next posting will be ONE MONTH.
Time flies when you’re in love.
