Southern Magnolia

The weather has been fantastic for the past few days, so Maggie and I have been relaxing outside and catching up on some light reading. 

And what's more refreshing than a lazy afternoon in the yard?

A warm bath!

play date and more random photos

Here are a couple of photos from a recent playdate with Maggie's friend, Eli.


And a few random photos for anyone in need of some cuteness to brighten their day.

Our camera finally bit the dust today, so I apologize for the poor quality of these pictures. But I just couldn't resist posting these anyways. Maggie loves the swamp sunflowers that I grow, and she points at them every time we walk by them in the yard. She'll even point to them when we get out of the car, and whenever I cut some to bring in the house, she points and smiles at them. Here she is showing off one of them and looking so proud!

smile, you're on candid camera!

This picture is specifically for Maggie's Granddad! :-) This is probably the messiest food Maggie has eaten yet...cherry applesauce. (And no, I didn't intentionally color-coordinate her outfit with her meal!)

Maggie's hooptie

Well, we have officially "sold out", thanks to Fisher Price. Maggie now has a jumperoo, the most ridiculous toy you have ever seen. We really wanted to avoid giant plastic toys with lots of lights and music, but what do you see in our living room right now? A giant plastic toy with lots of lights and music! Go figure. But as you can see, Maggie loves it! And I'm a sucker for that drooly, dimply smile.

Fun with mom & dad

One of these days we'll get a photo with all 3 of us together.  :-) 
For now, here are a couple of cute ones.

Mealtime adventures

Mealtimes are becoming more like entertainment for Maggie these days. She's easily distracted by everything from the beagles to her feet to the hummingbirds outside the kitchen window. And this morning after she finished her breakfast, she decided that there might be just a little more flavor left on the spoon so she grabbed it from me.
