To read, I love…the library book that's upstairs in my bunk bed.

To watch, I love…Cars 2.

To play, I love…my remote control truck.

Kate:

To drink, I love…apple juice.

To read, I love…The Big Wolf and the Little Wolf book.

To watch, I love…a show.

To play, I love…toys.

Seven months... and first teeth!

Let's see... Miss Maggie is past the seven month mark now. She's been crawling for a couple weeks and has three teeth: one big chomper on top and two on bottom. She usually sleeps 12-14 hours straight at night (which is heavenly for me!) and loves solid food: cereal, applesauce, sweet potatoes, and Mum-Mums. She is super-independent but also loves to be entertained by big brother and sister. When she gets excited, she kicks her legs and takes several deep, quick breaths. Oh, and she's pulling herself up to stand in her crib! Definitely growing up way too fast.

Centennial Parade

Yesterday, New Mexico celebrated 100 years of statehood. Today, a parade in downtown Las Cruces. Parades are much more fun with little kids. Jack and Kate were both dancing maniacs! And even Maggie enjoyed it... although the picture of her shows differently.
