Wordless Wednesday: Ladybug Fairy Faces...

Moi, and my many
Ladybug Fairy faces...

p.s. I promise this post is
the last of my Halloween picture posts.
As usual, mommy gets a
little carried away with taking
pictures of me and then she
can't decide which are her favorite.
So, she and I just post a bunch of them anyway!

Wishing you a whimsical Wednesday...

Our Lil' Pumpkin Cupcake, Mmm...

Well, we tried to get a shot of us girls,
but my wings got in the way...

Our lil' Halloween Pumpkin Cupcake...

Mmm, isn't Miss M yummy?

The two Miss M's...
Mommy Melissa and Magnolia!


Mommy wasn't really interested
in spending money on a silly
baby Halloween costume for Maggs.
So, we put her in a white gown,
a pumpkin hat (thanks Hullum fam)
and some fancy black and white ballet
socks (I chose those all on my own!)
and we created our own costume~
A Halloween Pumpkin Cupcake!
Yummy!

My Ladybug FairyTale Begins...

Walking the 'hood...
Ready to get some treats!

This ladybug fairy has attitude...

Sporting spots, antennae, and a homemade
hair clip courtesy of my mommy...

And a ladybug purse, of course!

J'adore dressing up and
getting treats! Yummy!

Une petite preview

Bravo if you guessed correctly!

Riding The Range With Daddy...

Day Cinq:
I was a little intimidated

all by myself, so...
My brave, strong, handsome
prince of a daddy came
to my rescue!

Ahh, I love my daddy!

I Wanna Be A...

Cowgirl!

my new Cow+Girl shirt
by Oh Fiddlesticks!

Hangin' With Mommy...

Day Deux:
This is how Magnolia rolls,
in the Baby Bjorn,
attached to mommy!
She even went on the hayride
at Sweet Berry Farm like this!

*p.s. do you notice something
in Miss M's hair? Why yes,
it is a hair clip that I am letting
her borrow. Can you believe it?
She is already sporting the look
I started way back when I was 3 months old!

A Week In Pumpkins...

Day Une:
We visited Sweet Berry Farm
this weekend. It was our first
long drive and day outing as
an entire family. Everybody
held up well. Even without naps.
Here we are, mommy's girls,
with our momma waiting
for the annual hayride...

We think this pic is so funny because
it gives you such a sense of what
life is like balancing a toddler and a baby.
Mommy's tip for Tuesday... Just laugh!
As Aunt Jen Jen once told her,
Life's too mysterious to take so serious!

*we will be posting a pic a day
of our sweet experience!

Mommy's Dreaming Of NYC...

Mommy and Aunt Summer in Central Park...

Beautiful BFF's Fall 2008...

Fall 2005 and...

Mommy preggo with moi, Fall 2006...
(love the pose Aunt Sum!)

Mommy needs a vacay.
She's so busy these days.
Taking care of me (I've been a little sicky)
and Maggie...she's just a wee little thing
who needs to be feed, held, burped, and changed
ALL the time!
Not to mention mommy is sewing.
Yes, you read that correctly.
She is sewing.
Sewing shirts for a holiday show
to represent Oh Fiddlesticks!

Exciting times, busy times, tiring times.
Mommy is even trying to escape in her dreams.
The other night she had a dream about
visiting her BFF, my Aunt Summer in
New York City. She said she
walked into her apartment and
there were candles lit and wine
waiting for her...

I think this was the sign mommy
was waiting for to buy her ticket.
So, last night she did just that!
Mommy is going on a little trip
to NYC to see her BFF
in December. She is ready
for some wine and girl time.
I think she deserves it, don't you?

Wordless Wednesday: Channeling Princess Leia...

Feeling the force as I channel
Princess Leia at Webb's 5th Birthday bash!

Upside Down Crown...

I LOVE the way my sis is checking me out
or is she marveling at the way I wear my crown...

Maybe she thinks it's a little funny???
I just can't help but crack myself up, too...

YOU see, I adore wearing my crown and I MUST put it on...

all by myself!
This is why it ends up
as the upside down crown!
Maybe I will start a new
crown wearing trend???

Un Petite Film Pour Vous...

Two Month Stats...

From serious...

to smiles...

And from smiles...

to serious!

(Me and my baby sis both at 2 months old)

My stats at 2 months: 11.2 lbs 23 inches

Magg's stats at 2 months: 10.2 lbs 22.25 inches


Maggs is already rolling over from tummy to back,
she coo's, laughs, smiles, and says "hi!"
She is currently sleeping in 6-7 hour stretches
at night, which has mommy and daddy thrilled!
Currently she is sitting in her chair, looking at herself
in her baby mirror, and cooing and laughing!
Too cute!

Nicknames...

Well, it's true...
Mommy has come up with a few
new nicknames for Magpie.
Don't ask why, this is just something she does.
Nickname.
Maybe she's trying to get back at the world
for having to live through her childhood as
"Missy"
(and sometimes Missy Muffin!)

Here goes the current list:
Cupcake
Maggie
Maggs
Magpie
Moo
Maggie Moo
Moo Moo
Moodle
Moodily Moo
and my latest:
Maggienolia!

Do you have a nickname too?
Please share if you do...

From Fussy Baby To Happy Baby...

Playing on the floor...

with pup...

makes Maggie Moo smile!


Maggs has woken up to the world and
is full of smiles (when she's not gassy!)
She likes to play with her baby gym, stare
at herself in the mirror (who doesn't?), lay
on a soft blanket and touch pup or one of her
rattles (I need to introduce her to cashmere, don't I?)
and she LOVES moi (especially my hair!)

This past week Magpie has gone from fussy
baby to happy baby and we are all very excited about that!
(we are crossing our fingers and saying lots of prayers that it will last)
We are hoping the days of driving in the car with a screaming babe
are over. Although I am a good sport and just read
books, sing songs, or talk with mommy while Maggs cries.
Mommy has assured me that she is just tired, and does NOT like
her car seat. I have been informed that I did NOT like it either!
Stay tuned for more Maggie Moo news tomorrow...
Bon Nuit!

Catching Up With Our Cupcake...

In daddy's arms
2 months...

This week is dedicated
to catching up with Maggs...
(as I, her big sis like to call her!)

I will fill you in on her latest news
and I promise to give you all
the juicy details, too!

I will start with one of her favorites...
Maggs adores being held~
In arms, sling, Bjorn,
Becco Carrier, etc.
She is one happy girl if she is
up close and personal with you!

Stamp Painting...

Look at moi...
I painted today!

First, I dipped the cookie cutter or stamp
in the paint color of my choice...
(personally, I like to mix the colors!)

Next, I placed the stamp on my easel paper and...

Stamped! Stamped! Stamped...

I got really into this activity...

I was very focused on the task at hand...

I felt so calm...

The colors and textures were intriguing me...
I decided to stamp, and sponge paint a tree!

And I loved squishing my sponge stamp...

All done with my tree!
What do you think???

Why We Are Watching Oprah Today...

Can't wait to see Nie...
(set your Tivo's peeps!)

Sink Or Float...

My hands are included in the experiment...
I think they sunk!

I thought I would taste the water to
see if the flavor changed from all the objects...

Then I decided to lick my drumstick as well...

Ha! This was fun...
Let's do it again soon!


Mommy thought it was time
to do a science experiment.
She introduced me to sink
or float...The big question we
were trying to answer was:
Do apples sink or float?
I guessed that they would float...
and I was correct!
We also tested a button, a drumstick,
a Lightning McQueen car, a piece of
cut apple, a sticker, and a rock.

After our experiment we
made homemade applesauce
with the apples. It was delish!
Later that week I played sink or
float again, and this time we dropped
objects into the bath tub! Science is fun!
Hmm, I wonder what type of experiment
we will do next? If YOU have any
great ideas, please let me know!

A Quiet Moment With Magpie...

A floppy head...

Teeny, tiny toes...

And soft, still hands...

Shh!
She's sleeping...
(we are going to enjoy it while it lasts!)

Magnolia Says Merci...

Wish we could give all our lovely
friends, family, and neighbors
a little Magnolia Cupcake treat
to say Merci Beaucoup for all
the food, gifts, advice, love,
and support we have received over
the past 2 months as we have
adjusted to life with 2 girls!
We have been overwhelmed with the
simple kindness and blessings we have
been shown by so many! Wow!
We are so grateful for YOU all...
Merci Beaucoup!

Hmm, What Halloween Costume Did I Choose This Year...

Am I going to go green, and recycle my
funky fairy princess costume from
last year (with a new spin, of course)...

Or, am I going to be Ladybug girl...

A Kitty Cat...

Or a dragonfly???

Cast YOUR vote on the right!

*hint: Mommy did take inspiration from one
of these photos. We will use some of my dress up
stuff from home, buy a few things, and mommy will
be making a few things, too! I can't wait to reveal my choice...
Stay tuned!

Let's Read: Good Boy Fergus...

Hmm, what should we read tonight mommy?

Oh, I know...
How 'bout Good Boy Fergus
by David Shannon~
Mack the Truck likes it, too!

This is the page that shows all
the dog treats...I always have to look
at this page and ask about each kind!

Ahh, I LOVE this book!

I am ready to read now...
Bubble gum jammies on
and my tutu~ the perfect reading gear!

See pup, that's Fergus...
He's a good boy!

My pup is more interested in sniffing than reading...

Let's begin...

I highly recommend this short
tale about a pup named Fergus.
He likes to go on walks, sniff trees,
potty on cars, eat plants, beg for pasta,
chase after cats and motorcycles, eat
his dinner with whipped cream, hide
when it's bath time, sit in the car
and feel the wind in his hair, and do
tricks for treats! I love reading about
this sweet little pup and his daily life.
If you like dogs, I think you will like Fergus!
Pick it up next time you are at the book store
or the library, I don't think you'll be disappointed!

J'aime Ballet...

At the barre...

About to enjoy my lollipop treat...

Me and my gal pals hanging with our lollipops...

Showing off our pops...

See mommy...

Look at my tongue!
What color is it???

Mommy didn't have it together enough
to take pictures of me before my first
ballet class, so all our shots came
after the class. I was a little
distracted with licking my lollipop
and not too motivated to show off
any of my new dance moves!

I LOVE ballet...and I could careless
that mommy doesn't come into the class with moi.
I have so much fun with all my gal pals
twirling, jumping, kicking, and dancing!

J'aime ballet!

Our Fall Favorites...

Gal Pals Are A Must...

Wordless Wednesday: Blue Steel Or Magnum...

Has Maggs been watching Zoolander?
YOU decide...

Maggie's Newborn Photo Session...

Mommy and Maggs...

Sister hands...

What a lil' cupcake...

Wrapping up my sis...
(mommy thinks this pic is so funny!)

Holding Maggs with love...

Mmm, Miss M is so yummy!
(This is the outfit we both came
home from the hospital in and that
I wore for my announcement photos!
Mommy is a bit nostalgic, wouldn't you say??)

Just a few of our fave photos
from Maggie's newborn session.
She was only 1.5 weeks old!
Once again our dear friend, Dore,
captured the essence of our family
in her photography. How blessed
are we to be given such a gift!

Mommy's Thought For Thursday: Better Than I Ever Imagined...

My sweet little sister souls...
Paisley Grace and Magnolia True

(photo by Dore taken for
Maggie's newborn session)


Life
It's good
Crazy
Chaotic
Frazzled
Exhausted.

BUT...It's good.
I am a mommy of two...
Spit up
Milk boob
Tears
Tantrums
Achy body
Ponytail hair.

BUT...it's good.
Each passing day brings...
Adventure
New experiences
More spit up,
Poop,
and tears.

BUT... it also brings me a bit
closer to the woman I am becoming
as I grow and change
as a mommy of 2.
Some days I really miss
the old me and
the easy life of having
only 1 child and even
the far off days of no children.
Life without
the responsibility of
caring for 2 little souls.

My selfish life.
The days of sleeping in.
Traveling solo.
Wearing clothes that
didn't need to mask
spit up
drool
milk
and poop.
Having cute hair
Wearing heels
Staying up past 10
(oh, wait...I rarely did that!)

Yes, I miss those luxuries.
And there are many days I
am jealous of those who live that life...
BUT...This life, with my hubby and
my 2 girls is so much better than
I ever imagined.

With each passing day
I get a little closer to knowing
the new me. The enhanced version of me.
The me that is a mom of daughters.
Daughters that I will
continue to...
laugh
sing
dance
and
cry
with.
Daughters that will
continue to...
help
teach
nurture
and
enrich
me.
Yes, this life
is so much better than
I ever imagined.

Wordless Wednesday: Merci Miracle Blanket...

All swaddled up in her swing...

So still...

and so quiet!
Merci beaucoup miracle blanket...

Magpie Is One Month Old...

Aunt Summer loving on our cupcake...
(Aunt Summer and Uncle David flew in
from NYC this weekend to meet my little sis
and to see moi, of course! What a treat!)

Magpie and Pup
4 Weeks old...

My little sis is one month old...
She is so cute! I love singing to her,
holding her, helping mommy
give her a bath, changing her diaper,
and dressing her for the day.
She loves to eat, and to be held!
Maggie is a happy camper if she
is in her sling, the Baby Bjorn, the
Baby Papasan, swing, car seat, and all
swaddled up in her miracle blanket.
She is also a big fan of her pacifier!
This week she has started smiling, and
even rolled over once from her back
to her tummy. Because of her tummy issues
she is NOT a big fan of laying on her back...
Hopefully she will outgrow all of the
gurgles and the toots poor babe!

This Little Piggy Started Preschool...

Just a little shy at first...

Posing with my big girl backpack...
Merci beaucoup Ya Ya and Papa!

My first day of school outfit with an eiffel tower,
french poodle hair clip and braids...
(mommy is a little obsessed with this french thing, don't you think???)

C'est la vie...

I guess I have to go and make the best of it!

In my classroom #168~ Not so sure at first...

But I warmed up and started playing
puzzles with the other Paisley Grace!

Ready to learn and play, play, play!


So, my first day of preschool was yesterday.
Mommy asked daddy to take me because she
was just a tad emotional...It all went really well.
I like my teacher Miss Moe and the new friends in my class.
I got to wear my big girl back pack, and take a lunch in my
brand new lunch box! I told mommy that I had fun.
I liked playing puzzles, reading stories, playing with the
baby dolls, and playing outside. I told mommy I cried
once by myself on the playground but Miss Moe
told mommy I was happy all day long! I even went poop on the
potty at school! That says a lot, don't you think?
When mommy and Maggie picked me up I was so excited
to see them and tell them about my day. Mommy even had a surprise
for me waiting in the car...It was Mater and a new 'Cars' book!
Yea for Westlake Hills Presbyterian Preschool!
I am ready for a great year...

The Greatest Show On Earth...

Daddy and I 'clowning' around before the show...

Trying cotton candy for the very first time...

One of my fave stunts...

Eyes wide open and in awe of the circus performers...

My fave animal at the circus was of course...The Elephants!
I even wore my 'elephant' outfit for the occasion!

Last Sunday daddy and I had a special date~
We went to the circus, just the two of us!
Mommy wanted to go too but she had to stay home
and take care of baby Maggie. We had so much together!
Daddy let me eat nachos, hot dogs, and cotton candy!
I got a fancy 'fire' hat, and a clown nose. I am still wearing my
clown nose around the house! I really liked the clowns, the elephants,
and the girls on the tight rope! Wow! They were spectacular...
Now I know why they call it The Greatest Show on Earth!!!

3 Weeks And Already Copying Big Sister...

Moi~ Paisley Grace at 3 weeks old...

Maggs~ 3 weeks old and counting...

Mommy was looking at baby pictures of me today
and noticed this one of me sitting in my baby chair.
She realized she had just taken a pic of Maggie striking
the same pose in the same chair. What fun!
Something we have in common!

We have noticed a few similar features between us sisters but
we both definitely have our own unique looks
and great hair, wouldn't you say???

2 Weeks Already...

2.5 weeks old...
Relaxing with Grandma Dewey

It's Maggs here, and I just have to
say life is good~ well, really good when I am
being held by someone I love! Overall I am
quite a happy camper but am dealing with
a little reflux and I seem to get hiccups a lot.
Ugh, I do NOT like them at all. I love my
big sister and am intrigued with my pup.
I love to eat...and am wearing my poor mum
down a bit with my food demands!
She is adjusting...well, kind of!
Last week we went to visit Dr. Jolet for my 2 week
check-up. She was hoping I would have gained
back the weight I lost in the hospital. We were
in a for a pleasant surprise~ I surpassed her
expectations and gained 1 lb. in 2 weeks! I
am definitely a Talley Abdine!
My stats at 2 weeks were: 6 lbs. 15 oz and 20 1/4 " long!
Gotta go chow down...

Big Sisters And Babies...

Maggs and Iz...

The big sisters (My pal Mia and Moi!)
and the little sisters, too...

Last week my pal Mia and her baby sister
came over to keep mommy, Maggs and I company.
I was very excited to introduce my little sister
to my friends...We had fun playing together in my
big girl room! I can't wait until we can all play together again.


p.s. Thanks Mia for my big sister present...
J'adore my tea set! Mommy and I
have already had a tea party with it!

When Maggie Was A Bump...

Our pal Dore came to visit us the other
day to take a few newborn shots of
Magpie for her baby announcements.
When she came, she brought the rest of our
photos from our bump photo session back in July.
We decided we had to post a few more of these family shots.

It's hard to believe these were taken just a few weeks
ago before we met my little sister. Our lives have changed
a lot since then! I love Maggie, but I miss having mommy
all to myself. Lately, I have been having a lot of daddy...
Thank goodness he has great ideas for what we can do
when we spend 'special' time together!

p.s. I love that Uniqua made it in to one of our pics!

I'm A Running Ballerina...

Profile shot...

Side view...

Whoa! Front view...

Ah, stretching before the big run...

Ready, set, run...

Today when I woke up from my nap
I decided I needed to wear my pink tutu.
Then, after hearing a convo between mom
and Dewey regarding me getting out my wiggles,
I decided I needed to wear my running shoes
my pal Caroline gave me last spring. Oh, the joys
of being 2. You can get away with a get up like this.
Mommy says when you are a lady, you must not wear
a combination of clothing like this out in public.
She says Aunt Summer would agree and will help
teach me fashion rules to live by when I am ready...
I don't really understand that yet, so I am going to
enjoy being a running ballerina while I can!

J'adore My Baby Sister...

I love holding my baby sister...

She is so tiny...

Look at her wiggling around...

J'adore being a big sis!
I think I will get use to this...

Kisses for my little sis, Maggs...

Well, Maggs has been with us for almost 2
whole weeks and I think it is safe to say
that we are all in love with her around here!
She has the cutest little feet and hands...
I love petting her head and holding her little hands!
I even speak to her with a soft, sweet little voice
(I don't want to startle her!) Mommy and daddy
are happy to report they are surviving as well,
even with a lack of sleep the past 2 nights.
I think mommy will be reevaluating her consumption
of Guerro's or any other Tex-Mex and spicy food while
nursing Maggs. Yikes! Miss M did not like it!
Last night, M decided she wanted to be awake for a
few hours in the middle of the night so, daddy popped
in a dvd he had been wanting to watch...this is when mommy
is glad he is a bit of a night owl and insomniac!
All in all, life at the Abdine house is quieting down
with all our visitors having gone back to California.
Mom and dad are curious to see how baby and big
sister boot camp goes in the next few weeks.
We know it will take us a little while to get into the groove...

Wish us patience, restful sleep,
and the ability to keep our sense of humor!
(especially mom and dad~ they will need it!)

Maggie's Visitors...

Dewey...

Nanie...

Ya-Ya...

Papa Terry, Kate, Neal and Pablo...

Gg...

Jen Jen...

Drea...

Jeddi...

Jeddi, Oma, Me and Maggs...

What a whirlwind week it has been...
We have been blessed with visitors since the
day after Maggie's birth! My Ya-Ya and Papa Terry
flew in the night Maggie was born, followed by
my Aunt Jen Jen, Uncle E, cousins Kate and Neal,
Aunt Gg, Nanie, Jeddi and Oma. Mommy,
daddy, Maggie and I would like to say merci beaucoup
for all the love and support we have received this past week
and a half. We are so grateful to our family for all the
meals, laundry, cleaning, etc. But most importantly
for all the hugs, kisses, and play time!
We miss you all and look forward to the
next time y'all are in Austin!

Our Magnolia Cupcake...

Just a few pics taken by Dore
when she came to visit us in the hospital...
We are in LOVE with our yummy little cupcake!

Video is fixed!

Sorry if y'all had trouble with the video. Daddy is operating on minimal sleep! The video below should work now...

"Twinkle..."

(click on video again once it starts playing to view in widescreen or HD)

Oh snap! Coming home today...

Hey everyone, Mags here. We're coming home today and we're sooo excited. Mom's in the shower and dad is transcribing again. We had a great time here at Seton Southwest. The nurses are awesome and its a really chilled out atmosphere, though the food could use some serious improvement. No problem though since mom just had dad run around town bringing her Starbucks, Sonic (limeade and tots!) and grub from Waterloo Ice House.

We'll probably leave here in about an hour and get settled back at home. With all the family coming into town today, it looks like we're gonna have a big ole house party tonight!...So I guess I'll be subjected to another endless game of baby hot-potato.

Check back later later, I think dad is gonna post some video!

ps., Big ups to all the people who came by to say hello and for all the treats!

Some Pics (Geez, daddy, took ya long enough...)

Ok, so my dad is a total slacker. Not only does he neglect his own blog, but now he's ignoring ours as well! I finally got him to sit down for a minute and here are the first round of pics! Some preview shots...

And the full gallery set:

Hello World

Hello world, my name is Magnolia True Caroline Abdine. I am 6 pounds 4 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long. I'm nursing right now so dad is manning the keyboard, but basically, everything is just peachy. It only took mom 12 minutes and I was born at 9:10pm. Crazy right? Mom is a rockstar! I can't say the same for dad though with his goofy buzzed head. Seems like he was more in the way than anything, but I guess he needed to feel useful or something. Anyway, dad is going to go get some food and mom is chomping on some ice. I'll try and get a picture or two up though it may just be me. (mom is doing the whole, "I just squeezed a baby out of me and don't want to be photographed" thing).

Baby is on the way

Yo world... Daddy here. We're currently at the hospital, rockin the epidural... and what's that? she hasta push? oh crap. gotta go...

Wordless Wednesday: Preggo Pics...

Preggo pics by our pal Dore...
More to come soon!
