ONE

it's so true.  time flies.  how can the baby be ONE?

maggie weighs 21lbs 14oz (75%) and is a shorty at 27inches (10%).

her little personality is really starting to show.  she has recently become very opinionated about food and wants to make sure she is eating what we are eating, which can make life easy or very hard, depending on the meal.  she shakes her head no and trust me, she means no! she is slowly getting used to whole milk but I'm being slow to stop bottle at morning and night.  she just still seems like such a baby.  she loves pulling up and has taken a few steps while holding on to her walker toy or the couch but no independent steps or cruising.  she says "dada" regularly and "bubba" occasionally.  no mama yet :(   i still put her in the ergo whenever i can and she is still a mommas girl, especially when she is sleepy.  we love this baby girl!

on her first birthday, we treated the family to games at chuck e cheese.  we thought it was more for the big kids, but maggie absolutely loved it!  what a fun family memory!
