{seven months}

Well almost.  Mags will be 7 months next week!  Seven months!  She is her own little person now with so much personality!  I just adore our sweet Maggie Jane!  She is into everything these days... mobility is a challenge (for me, not her).  Thatcher is not helping either leaving things in her path or outright giving her things that are well... dangerous.  Just today she threw up a game piece that Thatch so lovingly gave to her.... I can't take my eyes off her (or him) for a second.   She is trying to stand up constantly, just tonight she tried to climb out of her baby tub and was in a full stand that ended in a face down fall into the water.  I was turned around getting Thatcher ready to get into the tub.... scooped her up and bath time was over.... she is always falling down and making me so very nervous her balance hasn't quite caught up to her need to be up and moving yet and I just hope we all survive this stage.   Separation Anxiety has begun and she now cries at strangers and lets us know just who exactly she would like to cuddle her.  It melts my heart that she wont let me leave her after I get home from work and just wants Mommy to hold her (which I usually do all evening despite the piles of laundry, cooking, and dishes that await after a full day of working).  The other two kids usually pile on and we all snuggle and cuddle.  I remind myself to enjoy it, just Friday at school one of my student's refused to ride home with her Mom because it was not 'cool'.  Only a matter of time before it is no longer cool to cuddle with Mommy... I will be so sad.
