Pictures in the car
Here is a picture of Maggie in the car on the way home from Oxford, Mississippi. We went the the Lotts (see blog link below, right). Had a good time Grove-ing. Maggie spent all day in her carrier on Mama's front and liked it. I'll post her 9-month photo tomorrow.

Grandparents come visit!
Grampa and Gramma Spaid came to visit for a long weekend. Maggie sure got spoiled with them here! She also had lots of new stuff happen while they were here: TWO new teeth, is nearly crawling, and can stand up against the coffee table. Wow! So much progress in just 5 days!!! They even got Maggie's 1st birthday gift early - a real high chair (it matches our dining set and everything). And, Amron helped me paint my kitchen, so it is a sunny butter yellow now. 
It's hard to get a picture of her actually up on her knees, but she does that pretty well now, just can't figure out how to move her left leg, just the right. 
Standing up against the coffee table or couch is a new favorite activity. She can't pull herself all the way up yet, but she's getting there. 
And here's the high chair. We had to put a seat cushion in it to hold her up just right otherwise it is a little too big yet and she slouches too far down.

Trying to get a picture of her upper teeth
So Maggie still has a jack-o-lantern smile. Here are some photos where I tried to get a picture of those top teeth. As you can see, it was really difficult.
You can kinda see them through the blur - incisors on both sides, and one of her middle teeth.
And, after pictures of her teeth were over, she posed for this one. What a stinker!

Hello, me!
This week I was working at Mother's Day Out at church (a Christian daycare program) in the nursery with Maggie. There is a mirror on one of the walls that all the babies love. Why, do you ask, do they love the mirror? Well, let me tell you - they like to be able to kiss themselves! Maggie spent a good ten minutes by the mirror squealing with delight every time she saw herself in it, and I was lucky enough to capture a kiss on my camera phone. This was shortly before she was trampled by a walking 15-month old.

What kind of face is THAT?!?!
Ok - I have to say that Maggie makes the most interesting faces. Can you guess what these ones are for?
Yep, you guessed it. That is the poopy face. The camera did not capture how very red her face really was, especially 'round the eyes. Silly baby!

Maggie - 8 Months and Growing!
Here's Maggie's 8 month boppy picture. This week she has started waving bye-bye!!! It is adorable, and she practices it quite a lot, but can't always do it on command yet. She is also working on another tooth. I hope it is on the top, to even out her bite, because right now she looks like a vampire/jack-o-lantern cross. Don't get upset, she's still cute, I'm just trying to describe what her teeth look like. Do you LOVE LOVE LOVE that tie-dye onesie?
She's still not crawling either, but she scoots backwards a bit, loves to get up on her knees and rock back and forth and can rotate 360-degrees on her belly to get her toys. She also can roll to wherever she wants to go, but prefers to sit up with her toys.
In the talking department, she can say "Mama" very clearly, and knows it's me. In fact, if she wakes up in the morning before it is TIME to be up, she yells "MAMA, MAMA!" It would be even more cute if it wasn't 5:30 when she does it. She says "dada" but I don't think she associates that with Tyler all the time, and says "babababa" and blows two different raspberries - one with tongue out and one with tongue in. Both procure LOTS of slobber!!! Maggie also started a grunty noise, and that is funny, because she's already got a medium-low voice, and these are pretty low. I'll get them on video soon, and post a link for you all to watch. Anyway, here's her picture.

Something New
So I've got several "something new"s to share.
1) Every time Maggie picks up something soft, like stuffed animal, or a blanket, she sucks her thumb and cuddles with it. Every time, seriously. I tested this out the other day, and took pictures for proof.
2) We had our first illness. She had a minor ear infection (not bad enough for medication) and a fever. She's also got a fever that stays about 102. Maggie is still a sad, sad baby. Can't decide if she wants to play, or cry, or have Mama hold her, or cry, or ... you get the picture. It's just pitiful.
3) Did you see the new link over there on your right, labeled Melissa's Flowers? I made a website/blog just for my flowers since I'm starting to get referral business and people want to see what I've done. I've got two more weddings to post, then it'll be up to date (now if I could only remember where I put those pictures).

Maggie and the new teeth
Maggie is getting more and more teeth. Now she has 4 - the three on the bottom are showing in the picture below. There are three on the bottom: the middle two and one more on the left. There is also a new one up top. It is not one of the middle two, but the next one over on the right side. This new tooth graced us with a very special arrival while we were on the flight home from Seattle. It was such a happy, peaceful, stress-free rupture (can you sense the sarcasm, I'm laying it on pretty thick?)!
Now it looks like she is getting an upper canine tooth on the left, but it hasn't ruptured her gums yet. So, our little munchkin has no teeth that meet together, top to bottom. There's the upper tooth on the right, then her middle two teeth on the bottom, a fourth tooth on the bottom left, and then this new canine on the upper left t add emphasis to the fact that she hasn't gotten her two front teeth yet.

More Seattle/Phoenix Pics
My Dad just HAD to put llama ears on Maggie. They are absolutely ridiculous - and I love them!
We were in Phoenix for Labor Day weekend. Maggie had a great time with her cousin Alexis. Look at those buns! Tara and I couldn't resist taking a naked picture of our girls by the pool. I'm going to get this one printed out in black and white for our house.
Maggie, Tyler, Alexis and Tara in the pool.
We have several outfits in common for our girls. They had lots of fun playing together.
