Many on Monday

Since we were really busy all weekend and I didn't get my post done, here are many reasons I'm loving my girls this week:

1.  We have started a new family nightly tradition.  Each night we leave our cell phones at home, put Maggie in her little push car, and Campbell on her bike and take a walk as a family.  We have really loved this new nightly activity and have even met some new neighbors.  We plan to continue this family time even when it gets too cold/dark to go for a walk with a game time or other phone/internet/TV free activity.

2.  The girls have been so cute recently playing and laughing together.



3. Maggie is proving to be quite the feisty baby.  The other day I took the girls to story time at the library.  I had packed two packs of Teddy Grahams because I knew that Maggie might need something to keep her busy during that time and of course, if Maggie had a snack, I knew Campbell would need one, too.  Sure enough, Maggie started getting antsy so I got out the snack.  A few seconds later, Campbell noticed and wanted her own.  As I was opening the pack for Campbell, Maggie apparently thought I was giving her snack to her sister.  She started screaming and slapping Campbell with both hands to get her snack back.  I think this is just the beginning...

4.  This past Saturday, Campbell had the best day of her life so far.  She had TWO birthday parties to go to in one day...1 was a princess party and the other was an Elmo party.  She was so happy and loved each one.  At the princess party, she enjoyed dressing up, getting her nails painted, and squealing along with the other little girls as Brinkley, the birthday girl, opened each gift.

 At the Elmo party, she was the most excited little girl at the party when Elmo actually showed up.  Here is a little video:


5.  Maggie has started nodding when we ask her questions.  It is so cute, but again, had been so hard to get on video!  Interestingly, her newest word is "no" (although she doesn't really use it correctly), so she's full of contradictions these days!

6.  Campbell told Robbie tonight as he was putting her to bed "You're the best Daddy".  She was right.  He is the best daddy.

7.  Maggie is walking everywhere now!  She took a full lap of the house today without falling.

I love our little family!
