Maggie Joan has been part of our family for a little over a month now and with a face like that, we're definitely keeping her! I must say she's a fantastic baby...she doesn't really need much, just feed her, change her, cuddle her and let her sleep and she's happy!
We've kept her pretty busy in the first month...no surprise there really. She attended her first parade at less than one week, has frequented the local farmers market on two different occasions, and was even part of our first 'ladies lunch' with Grandma, Auntie Michelle, Lily, Auntie Kathleen, her big sister, Kit and Mommy (an excuse to get dolled up and drink wine).
And she's been introduced to her big brother, Fionn. He's quite happy to be her big brother and insists that we call her by her proper name. You'll often hear him say, "her name's Maggie" when we call her "Mags". And he likes to call her by her full name, Maggie Joan. Just the other day I heard him chatting her up saying, "hi Maggie Joan, how are you Maggie Joan, I love you Maggie Joanie!" I didn't realize that he even
knew her full name...that one's full of surprises.
And of course it didn't take long for Maggie to become one of 'daddy's girls'!
And Kit is delighted to be a big sister! She asks for Maggie pretty much every hour on the hour and is very helpful when it comes time to find Maggie's pacifier (she has a favorite one - already), retrieving burpclothes, and Maggie's nappies at changing time.

They are sooo cute together! You make it look so easy! Congratulations on such a beautiful family!
Love the update. She looks like she is growing like a weed. You can tell Kit and Fionn are just mesmerized by her. They are being a great big sis and big brother.

Hey, she is beautiful, and as for Kit helping...you can never have enough help! Annabelle was the same. There were days when I felt like saying..."Maybe you could take over while I take a nap!!!"
Kit's face is all, "Dude, back away from my little sister unless you want a knuckle sandwich for lunch." Maggie will be protected for LIFE with Kit and Fionn as her siblings...just the way it should be!
