Milestones

Travis and I are so enthrolled with every little thing that Maggie does. Its a huge day when she starts moving a rattle in her hand to her mouth. We sat on the floor this morning and waited and cheered for her to roll over. She didn't. But she did push up on her hands. It just makes me sit back and wonder, 'did our parents ever sit like this and do this with us?' I can't wait for the day that we can sit across the room from each other and cheer her on to walk back and forth between us. Or the day she learns to ride a bike, or? Well we will just leave it there. This could make me start crying to see to far into the future. All I can wish for is that moments like this will keep us smiling and keep us going strong.

A day in the life

So I am hoping that this blog will keep all of the family members posted on what our life is doing. Things are changing so rapidly in our house that we are barely keeping up with it ourselves, yet trying to keep others involved is becoming a task that is slipping from our grasp.

We can't believe that Maggie will be 5 months old on the 24th. Its crazy. The time has gone by so quickly. She is finally starting to roll over. When she wants to of course and usually it's just because she wants to be off of her tummy. She started squealing in delight today. Its so funny. You can tell when she has discovered a new tone in her vocal chords because she will use that for about 2 days. Todays new sound is high pitched. Its adorable, but loud. The doc says that she needs to be rolling over both ways and doing tripod before her 6 month checkup but she hates tummy time so getting her to roll over is oh so much fun and I don't even know if she could begin to do tripod if she wanted to. I guess that we will just see what happens.

Travis finally put in his two week notice at Target. He will be starting at Wells Fargo soon. This is a huge transition for him. I am so proud that he is finally starting down a career path that will be out of retail. I think that he is nervous. He does so good in most everything that he sets his mind to so I don't have a doubt in that. He just needs to get his feet wet and keep moving! He was so nervous with how he would do as a dad and he is amazing at it! So I know he will do good here too!

Okay, its late. The screen is starting to become 2 and I need to feed the baby! Until next time.....
