Bewitching

Tonight was Maggie's first Halloween. It was a rainy and windy night, so we didn't have a lot of trick-or-treaters. Maggie wore her witch outfit, and she was fascinated with the jack-o-lanterns on her slippers. Later we put her in her pea pod costume for a short trip over to Ray and Robin's. I don't think she liked the costume much, since she never really smiled and fussed a lot. Maybe she has inherited her father's distaste for the holiday, or maybe it was just too darned hot in a felt legume.

Three Cheers for Baby Gear

Really, what did parents do prior to the days of activity mats, swings and Bumbo seats? Mags has been enjoying all three, and she's still a fan of her bouncer, too. Saul and I think that she's teething hard core. She does not stop drooling, therefore requiring a bib at all times. The last week or so she's started to wrinkle up her nose. Sometimes she sighs mid-wrinkle, resulting in a glorious snort.
