Two teeth

Maegan's first 2 teeth came in over the last couple of days (bottom front). She had a rough day at day care to day with not much napping, but was happy tonight. We can feel the teeth now, but it is hard to see them with that tongue in the way (see picture). Lately Maegan likes to stick out her tongue. Mostly it is curved up over her top lip, but the picture captured it hanging way out.

A big thanks to our friend, Ginger, who has a knack for taking portraits. These were all taken Sunday May 1. Our church had a special service for the three babies born in the last year. We traveled from house to house and planted a tree for each baby. Maegan's is a peach tree, and it looks like it may bear about 6-7 peaches this summer. I'll see if I can figure out how to post the text of the liturgy we used for those of you who are interested.

Mother's Day weekend in Chicago with Matthew's family was great. We enjoyed the time with family and seeing the sights in the city. A highlight for me was a boat tour on the Chicago River that explained the history of Chicago and its architecture. We also ate at Rick Bayless' restaurant--Frontera Grill (http://www.fronterakitchens.com/restaurants/). SUPER gourmet Mexican food! We highly recommend it.

Maegan's favorite sound to make these days is 'da-da-da-da', much to her father's delight. She can now sit unassisted and catches herself on her elbows if she falls over. She's still not quite crawling, but gets up on her hands and knees more frequently.
