Small Milestones

Maggie and I stayed home from church today since she's getting over a cold. I was doing a load of laundry when she walked into the hallway with her fancy shoes on - which she had put on by herself! To my knowledge this is the first time she has put on her shoes without any assistance, so we celebrated with a photo and and extra glass of milk. :-)

Maggie's Got a Star!

When we arrived home from our fall vacation, we found a special letter waiting for us from the hospital where Maggie was born. Their nursery features a huge mural covered with gold stars. Every year the hospital auxillary randomly selects 12 babies to put on the stars - one for each month. Maggie's name was drawn out of the over 80 babies born in January 2006 at that hospital! So today we took a little drive to see Maggie's star and had lots of fun reliving memories from almost 2 years ago! I'm so excited to have her name there and to think that she'll be able to come back years from now and find her name on that wall.
