Maggie rolls over from back to belly

Well, she has officially done it both ways now. My little Maggie Rie has now rolled from her back to her belly. She is 6 months old today. I cannot believe it. She is such a blessing in our lives! Maggie, I love you sweet girl!

The girls and I loaded up yesterday (1/27) and headed to the zoo. Just the three of us. We had such a great time. Claire's favorite part were the monkeys. We got to watch the gorilla eat, take a break for a minute, throw up, and then eat the throw up. Talking about recycling. Maggie had a good time too. I sat her in the stroller without her car seat and she loved sitting up and watching all the action. There is not much going on at the zoo. So in the summer the animals are too hot to be out because they will have a heat stroke and in the winter they freeze so they stay inside. The sea lions were out and bathing in the sun... oh it made me want to go and sit at the beach and just sun bathe. Guess I better be getting this body in some sort of shape to even think about putting on a bathing suit. So back to the zoo... Its funny, when you go to the zoo without other people you can go through it pretty quick. I did a lot of look claire see the ____ . ok mommy where do we go next.
We had a great time. I have always loved going to the zoo with my claire-bear but this trip was the best because I was with both of them. I love you girls!!

Random Thought

Isn't it funny how babies can eat and poop at the same time. They really don't care. Think about it.. pretty appetizing isn't it.

A Paci and Bottle Prayer

There are many things to pray about in life. I guess two things that dont make the list very often is the paci and the bottle. These two things have made my list. My claire-bear took to a paci and a bottle like a pro. My sweet little Maggie is revolting. I have tried and tried and tried to give that little pudgeball both of these very amazing inventions and she will not have it. I will say that mimi gave her a paci a couple of weeks ago and she just played with it in her hands and put it in her mouth only to chew on it. Its the same thing with the bottle. I spent 15 dollars on this special bottle that was suppose to be "THE BOTTLE". She just chews on it. I do squeeze the juice in her mouth and she likes that but she is not doing any of the work. Tonight she screamed for 2 hours going to sleep. I will never understnad why babies fight sleep. I would gladly change places with her. So i guess at this time I will be like Dori on Finding Nemo... just keep swimming, just keep swimming.... just keep trying, just keep trying, just keep praying, just keep praying.
I do think God can find humor in all of this. He knows how much I love the paci and the bottle both... Not only will Maggie not take either of these at the present time she also LOVES to eat. Oh my sweet pudgeball. Looks like its me and you kid. One of these days I am going to sleep for 5 days straight!! yippe. i am looking forward to it.

The onion cookies

Claire was playing with her kitchen and she came and asked everyone what they wanted. She loves to make cookies so I requested onion cookies. You see we have gone through pretty much everything that I would like her to make me and she says "but i dont have that". So i knew she had a tomatoe, an onion, and corn. So i said I would love some onion cookies. She got so excited. I will have to say that the onion cookies were delicious. What a good little cook I have!
