Maggie's Growing Up!

**I added a few pictures from the original post!

Maggie has decided that she is a "IG" girl. (Big girl.) Walking down the stairs is the only way she will go down. Um, problem! We have 2 full flights of stairs. One leading from the main floor up to the bedrooms and one from the main floor down to the basement (toy room). So, she spends A LOT of time going up and down the stairs now. Oh, and she is obsessed with her tutu! THe only thing missing is her purse (she has 2 of them) or her baby doll (she has too many)!

I left the dishwasher open, and when I walked back into the kitchen, Maggie had unloaded all the plates and stacked them and handed them to me. And, she refused to sit in her high chair. She had to sit at the big table with Nate! So cute!!

So, I finally got around to doing these. Not overjoyed about how they turned out, but they are done none-the-less!

18 months

Lots of posts today, make sure you scroll down to see them all!

Maggie turned 18 months on the 4th, sorry this is late, but things have been crazy and I have had 3 sick kids (I am sick too).

Here are 18 things about Maggie at 18 months!

1. Her smile just melts my heart! The way she cocks her head to the side and looks at you with those innocent eyes just kill me!

2. She is SO adored by her 3 brothers.

3. She loves to give hugs! The boys get kinda sick of her hugging. (Again?)

4. She is obsessed with her baby's. She folds them in a blanket and "rockabye"s them!

5. She LOVES the color pink. She will wear pink every day of the week if I let her.

6. Is obsessed with shoes. She carries them around the house, brings everyone their shoes, and points out the shoes in every store we go into! It starts early, I guess.

7. Loves Mac n cheese.

8. Loves to "help" mom cook!

9. Likes to sing and does a great Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!

10. Knows what her hana and mimi are (Japanese for Nose and Ears and also knows english). She can also point out her belly, bottom, toes, fingers, chin, hair, eyes, mouth, cheeks.

11. Has a mullet

12. Loves to dance to any kind of music we have on. She also enjoys playing the piano!

13. Still enjoys pushing Nate's buttons. So funny to watch during the day!

14. Is talking up a storm. I can't list all the words, but one of my favorite is still Costco!

15. Loves her Grandpas! She "talks" to them on the phone all day long! When she sees both on the computer, she gets so excited!

16. Loves to draw on the Magna Doodle. (She is right handed even with the treadmill accident!)

17. LOVES LOVES LOVES her daddy. She will walk around the house all day saying, "Daeee, R U?" So cute. When he walks in the door, most of the time she will hear him and start running.

18. Is so cute when running toward me with her arms out just to hug me! Melts my heart!!

She is truly a gift. She is sure loved around this house! She has come a long way this year. We have been through a lot with her and I am grateful that she is happy and healthy!!
