Birthday Party Prep

It is hard to believe that our little Maggie is almost one year old. LL and I are getting really excited about her upcoming birthday party. It is going to be extremely casual, but we are planning on having a ton of people over and grilling out (what can I say I love me some grilled hot dogs). In preparation, we went out and bought a lot of the party supplies. She is going to have a Winnie the Pooh party, so we had to get the Pooh plates, cups, etc, etc. We also found one other treat we couldn't pass up (see pic).

Da Da

Maggie said her first word yesterday. LL was in her rooming changing her diaper and I was getting our stuff ready to go swimming. I walked into the room and she looked up at me and said "Da Da". It was so awesome and we were both totally floored. Needless to say I am very proud that I was chosen as her first word.

Our little girl has turned into quite the adventurer. She is always doing something: climbing, crawling, eating, you name it. She has been so fun lately, and LL and I have been having such a good time with her. Here is a pic of her climbing on her high-chair, just look at that tongue.

Swimmin

We took Maggie to the pool yesterday and she absolutely loved it. She was all over the place, no fear what-so-ever. She is going to love the pool, just like her mom did when she was a little kid. It was soo much fun, we all had a blast.

First Tooth

When Maggie woke up yesterday morning we were surprised to find her first tooth. She had been a little fussy, but not to bad so were surprised by it's arrival. Looks like she has two or three more right below the skin, which could pop out at any moment.

She didn't want to pose for us to take a picture so I had to lock here down and get LL to take a quick shot. It is a little hard to see, so I circled it in the picture below.

Four Generations

Maggie and I headed to Tennessee last Thursday to see my Grandmother and Grandfather Bell, who Maggie hadn't had a chance to meet yet. My Grandmother just got out of the hospital and is now in an assisted-living facility and we did not want the opportunity to pass. I am very glad we were able to see them and get this picture of four generations of Bells.

Maggie Pics - Late Jan

I am finally starting going through the 150+ images we had stored up on our digital camera. These pics are from late January. Yes, that is her My First Christmas bib and she is still wearing it to this day. When you have a little one that spits up as much as Maggie does, every bib counts.Enjoy

Easter Pics

Here are our Easter Pics. Enjoy.

Note: My foot is in the picture to keep Maggie from tipping over!



May God bless you and yours on this special day which freed us from the law of sin and death and allows us to live under grace!
