Maggnificent Monday

What is Maggie doing in all that laundry, you ask? Are we packing up and moving early? Engaging in a huge quilting project? Having a garage sale? No, folks, these are clothes moving in. These are all Maggie's new hand-me-downs from a friend of a friend. This friend's friend had a lucrative job which allowed her to purchase all sorts of designer wear for her baby girl, clothes that probably she only wore once or twice because there were so many pieces to choose from. So the friend of a friend handed over all these outfits when the friend had a baby girl, so that she could wear the designer clothes once or twice. Now that that baby girl is having a baby brother, Maggie gets the twice handed down clothes for herself. Since there are so many of them in the collection (really people, you're probably looking at $2000 worth of baby clothes, at least), they're very lightly worn, mostly look brand-new, and will only be worn a couple of times in order to get through every piece before Maggie grows out of them. Luckily she's a small baby and so she can still squeeze into most of the 3-6 month clothes for one lookiloo at how cute she is. I also have the feeling that the girliest of the girly clothes are the ones we got, since some of the more unisex ones could be saved for the aforementioned baby brother. So everything is pink pink pink with frills and flowers and bows. Oh boy; no one's going to mistake Maggie for a boy anymore.

In other news, Maggie has now waved hello or bye-bye a couple times. She won't do it every time and not to everyone, but she's kind of getting the idea. When we were downtown last week, staying at the hotel where Bill was attending a conference, because it was free and we could -- when were were at the hotel she waved with consistency at the fishes in the lobby tank. And she'll wave to the baby in the mirror, who always waves back. It's exciting that she's learning a societal nicety. Right now if she sees someone unfamiliar or someone she hasn't seen for a period of time, she just stares. Stares hard and long. At least when she learns to wave she can do something appropriate while she's staring.

And a couple weeks ago you got to see what kind of friends Maggie and Kaibab are. This time you get to see how she and Eliza get along.
