A new piece of furniture in the house. Maggie now has her own special high chair! She's not necessarily a super big fan of it yet (it's a very passive toy for such an easily bored baby), but she's learning that when she sits in it, fun things happen. Like squash or bananas or green beans (but no more avocados or cereal for awhile). Or helping Mommy cook with her favorite kitchen tool.
Toenail clipping. That may not sound all that exciting, but consider this: I cut her fingernails about every 3 days, and have been doing so since her second or third week. Her toenails had yet to grow to the point where cutting was necessary. Finally she put some effort into the little buggers and I got to trim a few! What a big girl she's getting to be!
Mother's Day. Of course it was my (and her) first of such holiday. She slept really well the night before. We went to church where she napped like a dream until communion and then woke up happy to receive a blessing from the pastor. A family walk in the afternoon. A board game over her afternoon meal. Cheerful playtime until her bedtime snack. And then she went right to sleep in her crib. A wonderful day!
