Ok, so apparently the sound was just turned all the way off on my computer. The following video does have sound, yeah!
Dinner and a dance
Looks like my new camera doesn't have sound on the video. I just tried to see if I just hadn't turned it on, but I couldn't figure any way to do it. It looks like it has a microphone, grrr.....
Anywho... here is a fun video of Maggie bopping away to Matt playing the piano while eating. She's got bread in one hand and bologna in the other. Too bad you can't hear the music :(

Same old newness
Maggie is still amazing, learning new things at every turn. Today Matt taught her to say boy instead of baby in reference to a character on his shirt. This is definitely a good thing. She has been refering to all children as baby and pretty much all adults as daddy. Sometimes though, any picture is baby no matter what it is of. She adores looking at pictures. One day I sat in front of the computer and let my slideshow change pictures every 5 seconds and she was mesmerized for a long time. She would squeal every time the picture changed and say "Baby!", or "Daddy!", or "Mommy", or "Mdaddy" when she isn't quite sure.
Maggie also has an insatiable hunger. For example, today I picked her up from Katherine's at 5:30 and as I was carrying her out she noticed the bag of mini rice cakes, pointed, and said "gaker". So, I grabbed a bag and slowly fed them to her as she asked for more as I drove with her in to Keene to meet my brother and parents for dinner. She ate half the bag before we got to the restaurant. She then proceeded to eat four slices of peaches, two slices of pear, a slice of pickle and quite a bit of the bean salad I got for her at the salad bar. Then, she started on our food, eating a slice of chicken and two hunks of bread from Steven's sandwich as well as some crust from my pizza. Then, as you can see in the picture she insisted on more rice cakes when we went outside.
Steven got her a wicked cool new backpack from Venezuela, isn't it a great color? Pretty soon she will really enjoy taking things in and out of the pack, playing with the zipper, and carrying her own stuff around. Awesome!

Maggie's next installment
Maggie just got over an ear infection, which she was nice enough to pass along to her daddy. He is having a much harder time with it than she had. She was out of it for a couple of days, and didn't want to eat much, but her pain only seemed to last for a few hours. He has been in pain for days, the poor dear.
She has gotten in three more teeth since the last time I reported, it could be four though. They are hard to see as she won't keep her mouth open for me, and if I try to stick my finger in her mouth she clamps down. Ouch.
We are almost out of formula so I tried her on Lactaid milk, but she doesn't seem to like it. She will sometimes drink water and tonight I gave her herbal tea, which she seems to like. I gave her some yogurt the other day, and it didn't seem to affect her so that's good. I can get dairy into her that way. It's going to be annoying to have to give her something that requires spoon feeding on a regular basis. I have been spoiled with just setting food in front of her and letting her have at it.
Her newest words, that we have figured out meanings for, are nena for banana, and she has an odd word for glasses that I can't for the life of me remember right now. I'll try to figure it out and let you know. It may be gagee, or something along those lines.
That's it for now. Hope you're all having a great time!
