Maggie's Room

This spring we were very busy trying to get ready for a baby and going on trips (Florida, Washington, and other various places) that it was May before we started doing anything in the Nursery.  Although it took us awhile to get started, we finished Maggie's room in time for her arrival!  Here are a few pictures of the room in progress:

Although it is only Craig in the pictures, I would like it to be known that I did help and did all the painting at 36 weeks pregnant.

Anyway, here are the results:

So Craig did the board and batten/trim work.  I did all the painting in the room and made the birds for the branch.  We found the branch in the woods behind our house.  Craig prepped the and installed the branch and attached the birds. I also made the scrap-map above the bookcase and the wood sign in the bookcase.  When I was 40 weeks and some odd days pregnant I was so bored of waiting to have a baby that I would come home from work and sew, thus the dog bed (in the corner) and scented satchel which hangs from her changer. It may be hard to see but there are a few tab blankets that Great Grandma Bushey made for Maggie on the bottom shelf of the bookshelf hanging on the side of the wire basket.

My mom made the curtains, and Renae and Linda made the quilt on the chair! The picture above the changer is of Vidler's in East Aurora, NY (http://www.vidlers5and10.com/ )! There are two smaller picture frames to the right and left of the larger picture that are crib cards of when Craig and I were born.

I made the crib sheet and crib skirt and my mom made the blanket!  Excuse the tripod in the corner, it is for Maggie's video monitor.

That's Maggie's room! She also has a HUGE closet for all of her clothes and baby gear!  Lucky girl:)!

First Snow

This past Saturday we got our first snowfall of the season.  It was chilly out, but I figured we had to get a picture of Maggie and her first snow, so here it is. 

We ended up with a few inches.  Unfortunately for Craig he was working on landscaping....pictures to come! Hint: Maggie is propped up against it!

4 Months

Maggie is 4 months old now...

• She can rollover (ok maybe she's only done it once).
• We've switched to cloth diapers and we're all surviving.
• We tried rice cereal much to Maggie's dismay.

She would rather eat her chair...

• Maggie knows who her mama is and keeps a close eye on her.
• Her routine during the week:
• 6:40-wake up call, time to get dressed
• 6:55-leave for daycare
• 7:00- get dropped off by mom at Judy's/bottle
• 8:00-10:30- nap
• 11:00- another bottle
• 12:00-2:30ish- nap
• 3:00-bottle
• 4:00- dad picks her up
• 4:05-6:00- play time/bath time
• Sometime between 6:00 and 7:30- last bottle of the night
• Sometime between 7:30 and 8:00- bedtime!
• On the weekends the routine is pretty much the same, excepts she sleeps in until about 7:30.
• She loves her feet and to be on her playmat.
• She will try to grab anything in reach, and promply put it in her mouth.
• She had her 4-month check-up and her stats are:
• 16lbs 3oz (90%)
• 25.5 in. (90%)
• Head size (90%)
• Dr. Jiwa is very impressed with Maggie's development! She has great head control apparently and very strong legs.
• I guess she gets an A!
• She is still in size 3-6 months, and her feet finally seem to be catching up to her (they still fit into newborn sock until a few weeks ago).

That's all I can think of at the moment...


P.S. Uncle Steve, I keep meaning to take pictures of Maggie in her Harley gear...I'll get it up here soon!

Maggie's New Trick

Check out what Maggie did Wednesday night:

Halloween Flashback...

Maggie stayed overnight at her grandparents house for the first time on Saturday before Halloween! Craig and I went to the Connoy's annual Halloween bash!  It was a lot of fun, but we missed our baby:)!

Meredith, Me and Renae were owls:

Craig got lucky and our neighbors were nice enough to lend him a beer costume:

On Halloween Maggie was a skeleton.  The outfit was actually pajamas from Old Navy I bought last year right after I found out I was pregnant.



We skipped trick-or-treating this year and we had 60+ kids come to our house!

Happy November!

We are a little behind but we got a new computer so now we are back in action!  Happy November!
