1. My sister, Julie, and her husband, Dean, welcomed a new baby on Wednesday. Eliza Grace arrived healthy and beautiful and joined big brothers, Jacob and Zachary, and big sister, Lydia. We got to FaceTime with them and it was a wonderful experience. Maggie kept reaching for the iPad and saying "baby" and waving and Campbell, was so excited to see her newest cousin. As we were hanging up, Campbell looked at me and said "Mommy, where is MY baby?! I want one!" Not sure how to respond to that one... ;)
2. (this one was actually requested by Robbie) Two times this week, Campbell wanted to call her Daddy on the phone. Once was when I was driving them to school and he was driving to work and the other was last night when he was driving home from working late in Charleston. The girls were so happy to talk to him and he was equally happy to talk to them. Maggie smiled and waved at the phone and said "Hi, Dada" and Campbell is really growing up and can carry on more of a conversation which is fun.
3. Remember that wig that Campbell wore for Halloween? Well, Maggie loved it. She loved to wear it and would brush it gently from her face and pat it. Hilarious.
4. The other night Campbell had a very hard time sleeping. She was up no less than 6 times. The next day she kept talking about the snail that was in our house and I finally figured out that she had been up due to some bad dreams about a snail. As tired as we were, one thing I noticed was that each time she came in our room, she went to Robbie's side of the bed. For some reason, that made me smile because I remember when I was little, if we went into my parents' room at night, we ran straight to my dad's side of the bed too. Don't know if Daddies are stronger in their little girls' eyes or just more lenient...
5. Maggie has developed a new gesture of affection and it just melts my heart. She will put her hands on each side of my face and get really close and look into my eyes. Then she'll lay her head on my chest or shoulder. Love that girl.
