It was a fun week! We schlepped the play pen from this autumn's garage sale buy up from the basement. An hour or so later . . . we had a portable crib assembled in the living room. (By the way, now we know how it works, it will take about 45 seconds to put up in the future.) So Maggie's gotten the chance to hang out in a bigger container than her Moses basket. Where she can practice rolling over and explore the possibility of crawling and kick around and flay her arms to her heart's content. In honor of the occasion we brought out the lightweight rattles that she would be able to hold by herself. The rattles have been a big hit and she's taken to reaching for them and holding them briefly before flinging them away. They also have (apparently) tickled her fancy so much that she's laughed at them. I have yet to hear such a sound, but rumors are that Winnie the Pooh (pictured below in Maggie's hand) makes her chuckle. All we do all day is play! What a life!
