It's Hard to be a Maggie

It's been a long week here at our house. Maggie and Ali were home sick last Friday and I actually stayed home sick on Sunday. The antibiotics are flowing now and we feel a bit better, but are still pretty tired and sniffly.

In case you didn't see it on facebook, Maggie has started crawling. Not just a few moves ending in a flopped-over heap of frustration, but actual crawling. We scrambled to baby-proof the living room.

Her other new trick is that she will pull herself to standing with anything that will hold still long enough. Thankfully, we lowered the mattress in her crib last weekend. Perfect timing, too, since the other morning Maggie woke us up at 4:00am and when Ali went in to check on her, she was standing in the corner of the crib calling for us.

Here is a photo progression of the tired little monkey after her long, sick week.
