8 things about Maggie

My sister, Erin, has been bugging me for days to do this, so here you go:

1. She weighs about 26 pounds which is about how much weight I gained while I was pregnant with her. It's crazy to feel how heavy she is and think that I walked around for a while with that much weight on my body!

2. If you look at her hair in the sun you can see that some strands are red and some strands are blonde. She looks like she's had highlights done. As my friend, Mike Dupree, says to his daughter Emme, "People would pay a lot of money to have hair like yours."

3. She cries in the bathtub when we rinse her hair. You'd think we were rinsing her hair with acid for the way she screams.

4. Instead of saying the word "surprise" she says, "Curprise", as in, "Curprise me, Mama!"

5. Her favorite phrase to say is "Hobby Lobby." Say it yourself, aloud. It's pretty fun. I understand why she likes to say it so much!

6. She has traveled more in her two years than many adults (although not as much as her 2nd cousin, Liam, who has been EVERYWHERE!)

7. She calls "sausage" by its French name, "saucisson", which is much more fun to say.
(You pronounce it "saw-see-sahn") This may sound pretentious but it's just b/c it's such a fun word to say!

8. Maggie likes to sing to herself as she's falling asleep. Some favorites are "She'll be coming 'round the mountain", "The Wheels on the Bus," and "Twinkle, Twinkle."

There! Now you can quit bossing me, Erin! ;)

Emet screams when I'm rinsing his hair too! Makes me feel abusive!

Looks like a fun time! We're headed to CA next month and hitting Disney as well! I can't believe all of Maggie's funnies...she's at a super-cute stage, huh? (not that any of the stages weren't super-cute either :)
