Isn't she cute? When it was springy out and we were walking outside not with the stroller and tons of blankets, which is before we are not outside at all because of the torrential rains . . . we realized that Maggie did not have a hat with a brim and thus our hands in front of her face (blocking the sun from her eyes) would be all she would ever see on walks. So when I happened to be near a kids' clothing store and happened to see that there were brimmed hats, I just happened to buy one for her in nice pale pink lace. Isn't she cute? Oh, I guess I already said that. But isn't she?
Anyway, on to the real subject of this week: physical abnormalities. A kind of "get to know the babe like mom and dad do" session. Maggie has a couple of places that she's just special. One of them used to be her left ear was kind of folded and fused above her earlobe, but she's somehow rectified this and no longer has Grandpa Frosty ear. What she does have is a mole right on top of her head. When she was first born it was a red spot that we thought would just be a sort of birthmark type thing, but it's become bumped up a bit and is certainly going to be her Great-Great Grandma Ingeborg mole. And right behind the mole she has one singular kinky white hair. It's growing at the same rate as the rest of her hair and continues to grow kinky and white. I'm afraid it will fall out one day (like hairs do) and another one will fail to grow back. It's like her little nod to the Grandma Sue curly hair. Our favorite little quirky thing of Maggie's body is her butt crack. This may sound very strange, but hang with me. It's crooked! Right at the very top of her bum, her little crack takes a jag to the right. One day she'll hate me for broadcasting this to all the relatives, but it's just so cute, and how else would you really find out about it. We didn't even notice it until a full-family bath a couple weeks ago. And who does she get this trait from? Anybody going to fess up to having jagged crack?
