Magpie's Mane...

Maggs woke up with a mohawk...

It was the craziest hair we had seen on
her yet! We call it 'peacock' hair...

Mommy couldn't resist putting her
'feathers' up in a little birdie tail..

And, viola...

Mommy captured Miss M's first 'tail' feathers
and sitting up on her own, too!

Magpie is now 6 months old...
She is halfway to one.
Unbelievable!
She is eating fruits,
cereal, and a few
veggies. She loves
to sit, drum, drive my
car, play in her excersaucer,
and talk. She does NOT stop!
She also loves to move her legs...
They just go. go. go.

At her 6 month checkup
Miss M weighed in at 14lbs 1 oz~
She is 25.75 inches long~
And her head is 43 cm!
She is a growing girl and
we are all so pleased
with her A+ check up!

Here's to another
healthy and happy
six months with my lil' sis.
We can't wait to see
what she starts doing next...

Magpie Is Four Months Old...

Our angelic lil' Magpie...

Here's my sisters stats folks...
dum ta da dum...
(that's a drum roll y'all)

Magpie is weighing in at 11.14 lbs
AND she is 24.5 inches long!
She's still a teeny tiny thing
but Dr. J said she is perfect!
She still has some issues with reflux...
She can't keep all her milky in her tummy
poor thing~Never was an issue for moi!
Mommy is going to continue nursing
Maggs, but is adding a little formula, too
which should help M gain a little weight, we hope!

I am so thankful to have
my sis. We can't believe
it's already been 4 months since
she was born. Life is so much richer
with a sister...


"Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters,
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir,
I'm there to keep my eye on her
Caring, sharing
Every little thing that we are wearing
When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome
She wore the dress, and I stayed home
All kinds of weather, we stick together
The same in the rain and sun
Two different faces, but in tight places
We think and we act as one
Those who've seen us
Know that not a thing could come between us
Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister
And lord help the sister, who comes between me and my man."

by Irving Berlin

p.s.Mommy loves this in White Christmas
and says Merci Beaucoup to Aunt Sum
for introducing her to this gem!

Magpie is Three Months Old and Counting...

This is my little sister.
I call her Maggs.
She is 3 months old
and counting...
Right now she just
LOVES playing in
her excersaucer!
(which used to be mine
but I am sharing with her)
She likes to pull my hair...
OUCH!
She laughs, smiles,
and 'talks' all the time now!
I wonder what she'll start
doing next...
