Finally up to date

Alright, so now that we've caught up on the last few months, it's time for a basic Maggie update.
She is weighing in at 35 pounds and measured about 32 inches (with wiggle-room, literally). She can count to ten, as long as you don't always need the number 8. For 4 nights this week she has pooped in the potty. We aren't actively potty training yet, but we encourage her to use it when we can. She is talking incessantly and most of it is intelligible. She likes to "read" books to us. She has used a few full sentences; for example, I was carrying a few dresses into the bedroom as choices for a baby shower last weekend and she looked up and said "Those are pretty". Anyone wearing a skirt or dress is "cute". She can use a spoon, fork and a "big girl" cup (with supervision, of course).

Basically, our little baby is growing up.

We went up to Ali's school for a retirement party last weekend and Maggie wanted to play in the grass.

 She has started trying to get the dog to obey her. Murphy is not amused.

Taco Night is always a messy endeavor, but Maggie is always willing to pose for the camera.

 It is pouring rain tonight and Maggie pulled me by the hand when it started and asked to go outside. I'm not sure she found the rain as fun as she thought she would...

 ..but she did get into it eventually! 

 Then she stripped her clothes off and ran around the house in just her diaper for the rest of the night.  Another average weeknight in a Mills house...
