Someone Famous

So, we flew home from California today. We flew from Burbank to Phoenix to Chicago. In the Burbank airport, we were in line behind Patton Oswalt (King of Queens) going through security. I was all giddy and wanted him to look at Maggie and comment on how cute she was. But he didn't....

Then, as we are waiting in the A 31-60 line to board the Southwest flight, the pre-boarders walked by and there was Leann Rimes about 3 feet in front of us! This was even more exciting! Wikipedia was very interesting. I didn't know that here real name was Margaret! And she was born in Mississippi like me. We have so much in common- we should have stole that middle seat and sat next to her on the flight. I will regret this forever........haha . But really, it was kind of fun.

Except, Brad just told me she had an affair with a married man and they both got divorced to be together. Never mind.... I take it back. I am glad I sat in the back of the plane.

California, Here We Come!

Maggie and I are packed and waiting to go to Midway Airport. We are flying home to CA to stay with my Mom and Dad for a week and half. Brad will then fly into LA where we will pick him up on our way to my family reunion on the beach. I can't wait. And my parents still live in the same house. I love it- I can't wait for Maggie to stay there for the first time! I can't believe my family started this small....

And has grown to this. This picture is at least missing 5 people- including my husband and baby.

I can't wait to see everybody. Please note that Cami's hair looks really good in this picture because she let me niece, Annie, do it for her.

Like Mother, Like Daughter?

We Love Cousins!

It is fun to live close to family. I finally started using my camera more to capture moments of Maggie with her cousins. We love going to their swim meets. Here are some fun pics.

Then, both of them- Hooray. Cute cousins.

6 Months.....A Little Late

Maggie is now 6 and a half months! It has gone so fast. Brad and I were looking at pictures when she was a newborn and she looks so different. It is crazy how fast babies change.

So, I took her to the doctor last week. Here are the stats:

She weighs 15 lb 15.5 oz , 45% percentile

She is 26.5 inches long, 59%

Head Circumference is 17.74, 97% (she has a large brain)

Maggie just started to sit up on her own-which is exciting. We also took her to my brother's neighborhood pool (which is much warmer than ours), and she LOVED it. We were in there for over and hour with her. After swimming, she was so tired that she took a nap on a pool lounge chair while I tried to get a tan (or burn). I can't wait to go to my parents' house next week and swim in their pool every day!
