Pictures of Margaret

Trying on Mommy's purse last night

Here are a couple of posts from the past couple of days.

Margaret is now in the stage where she likes to put things into other things, and take them out. Whether it's a small ball in a cup, the cards in SAM's wallet, or the paraphernalia in her purse, Margaret loves taking everything out from where they belong.

I am constantly having to hold my sense of order in check, but it's fun.

Taking everything out of Mommy's Purse

My favorite time, lately, is breakfast. Margaret is usually so happy in the mornings when I see her that I can't help but start my day with a smile.

It is incredibly satisfying to be the first person to pick her up out of her crib in the morning and take care of her. It's our special alone time.

Given, sometimes, feeding is... frustrating, but on the whole, she's such a cheerful little bean in the morning that it's infectious.

She really is my 開心果! I didn't know what it meant, really, until I had a child of my own.

Ready to go shopping

I don't know if you can tell or not, but M's tummy seems to be quite prominent these days. It's so funny to see her in the bath or with only a diaper on. Her little tummy sticks out so much that it seems out of proportion to her legs and arms.

I suppose that's good though... storing her nutrients for the winter and all.

She's not letting go

Reading this morning


Happy playtime

John, what a sweet picture of you and Margaret. We miss those quiet snuggle times now that we've weaned Clara from a bottle - she won't sit still now unless she's strapped into a chair getting fed! At least she's getting great at giving hugs and kisses. Thanks for the post! :)

you're going to have to put your sense of order in a safe place for quite a while. i used to try and put everything back in it's place...it's futile. You may find that you lose that sense after a couple of years of repressing it.... OH NO!
M is growing up too fast...make her stop!
Typhoon is huge right now. Can't sleep cause the wind is blowing loudly!!!

What a little dumpling! Just delicious. She's getting so big so quickly (and I'm not referring to her midriff bulge). I'm with Joannie, please slow her down!! Love the posts!! Thank you.
