1. Talk to him in her "baby" voice. Although most people have a baby voice that sounds high-pitched and sing-songy, Maggie's baby voice is very deep and husky. We always try to get her to talk to him using this voice. To imagine this, please say the following words in your deepest, most chesty voice: "Hi baby Jack!" Now imagine a 2-year-old saying it like that. It's pretty funny. I need to get it on video soon.
2. She also loves to hold him. This is getting tricky as he only weighs 9 pounds less than her and is about 6 inches shorter than her. They're almost the same size even though he's 4 months old and she's 27 months old. Here is a photo so you can see for yourself:
Erin and I love to think about how they'll interact when they're older. We're pretty sure she will boss him mightily, which is funny b/c it'll be the reverse of mine and Erin's childhood relationship. I can just picture her playing pretend with him and while she gets to be a princess, she'll force him to be her servant and follow her around. It's fun to look forward to.

Yay for no biting! He will make an excellent butler or court jester someday very soon.
I forgot to tell you how much Jim and I think she looks like you in this picture!
I can just imagine her voice...how funny. She looks very cute and it's funny how Jack looks so big next to her! He'll beat up on her one day :)
That picture is so hilarious that I had to call Seth over to the computer to take a look! Maggie looks like a little mama who had a giant baby as big as her and she's happy about it! So funny!
Yes - we need some more Maggie video. I can't tell you how much I enjoy hearing her squeal with delight, sing, etc... Hilarious.
Amanda's comment about her giant baby is so true! I can always count on a smile when I visit your blog. Whit.
