Our new Tee

Hard to believe we are at 10 months. Miss M is into everything, exploring, playing and having a great time every day. She takes a few steps every day, but has decided that crawling is way faster. I know one of these days she will just take off at a run. We love hanging out in our new t-shirt from Aunt Sarah. It's a hit when we head out to run errands because Margaret loves it when people come and talk to her. It also gives Margaret a chance to wear the cool long sleeve t under a short sleeve t. Thanks Sarah!

Staying Warm and Baking

As the snow begins to fall, we stay warm in our new jammies from Grammy. Little M is not so little any more. She is 9 mos, wearing some 18mos pants. These are 18mos PJs. Can you guess where she got the long legs?

Check out the breaks!
Baking pumpkin cake with mommy. Getting our cook started early. We wanted to surprise Daddy before he came home, but he caught us. Luckily he was able to take this picture. Baking while wearing a baby is no easy feat.

Christmas Part II

What a whirlwind our holiday time has been these last two weeks. We did Christmas Eve at our house, stopped by one set of grandparents on our way to Florida the next day to see the other set. She was given many new toys, the alligator pull toy being a favorite as well as a new hair bow. Also hand knit sweaters and a stuffed snowman.
Margaret experienced many "firsts". She saw the beach for the first time, went in the ocean, touched the sand and played and played. Her Aunt Sarah was there as well as Honey and Uncle Jim. What a fun time. Margaret thought opening presents was pretty fun and got really good at it by the end.
She also got to spend a ton of time with her DaDa. We are super close to connecting "dada" to our actual Daddy. She is also really close to taking her first steps.
