Happy SIX MONTHS, my precious Margaret Virginia!
From May 13 at 12.30 PM until now, November 13 - we have forever been blessed by God giving us the sweet blessing of our second daughter. I am SO thankful for this tiny (yet CHUNKY!) little angel bear. Margaret is the absolute light of our lives. A sweet, sweet, sweet little baby who smiles and opens her mouth so wide with a toothless little smile all day long, no exaggeration. She is just so happy. I don't deserve her! I don't deserve either of my baby girls, but I sure am happy that God thinks I do.
Margaret is doing so great!! She sleeps well, she eats well, she laughs at her big sister ALL DAY LONG. Libby knows how to make her smile and laugh and tries to do things all the time that will get a giggle, and Margaret has a big, loud laugh. Girl has some lungs on her! I just love love love her. It's crazy how much! She and Libby are my two most favorite things in the entire world. We have such a good time together. I've been so sick for the past month, it seems....laryngitis, allergies, sinuses, and bronchitis. I feel terrible but as you Moms know, we aren't allowed to get sick! Libby and Margaret are definitely keeping me BUSY that is for sure, but I LOVE it and wouldn't change a single thing.
At six months, Margaret is sitting up pretty well by herself, she still does the weeble wobble thing after a little bit and kind of clunks over to the side. She is grasping things, holding onto things, laughing, cooing, saying Mama (ha just kidding, we have had no words yet), smiling all the time, laughing at her big sister and her crazy parents, and just being a pure delight. We marvel at her accomplishments and her precious personality every day, whoever said the second child doesn't get as much attention as the first obviously did not have us as parents, because we are all over Mags and Libs all day long. :)
She crosses her little hands when she's asleep, she loves bathtime, LOVES it...when she realizes it's that time of day she gets so excited and starts kicking her little feet and shaking her hands. She started waving last week! She kind of puts her hand up and then very quickly puts it down, adorable. She loves her exercauser and plays very well when she's in there when I'm cooking or doing something. We play in the floor alot, and as you can tell from the video with the duck, sometimes that goes well, and other times we are trying to get toys for her to play with that Libby doesn't have some attachment to, hahaha. Libby is a wonderful big sister and she really takes care of baby sissy. She calls her Sissy, not sure if she knows it's Margaret or not, but she always calls her Sissy, so I am thinking the name will stick much as it did with my two sisters and I. Libby loves her so much and I am SO thankful that they will have each other forever.
Happy Birthday my precious Margaret. I love you more than any words could ever, ever show you. Your beautiful countenance makes my heart proud and I love you and Libby with all of my heart and more. Happy SIX MONTHS! Time can slow down, please!!

five months old
margaret has the absolute sweetest deposition. she is the perfect addition to our family. if she's napping and her big sister wakes her up by yelling (happens ALOT) she wakes up and smiles. if she is coughing or spitting up, she's smiling while she's doing it. if she is hungry or tired, she cries but she smiles and sort of quivers her chin, but doesn't cry for long. i mean, she is a perfect baby. she goes to bed by 8 pm every night, and she is still waking up a little at night and we just nurse, rock, and she's right back to sleep. she is currently in the swing as i type this, and libby is in her big girl bed, and i am just staring at her in amazement. :) i love, love, love, love her. SO very much. i don't know how it's possible to love two little creatures as much as i love my two babies, but your heart really does open up and just LOVE. imagine God's love for all of us! He loves all of his children with the same love i have for my two - how incredible is that!
for margaret's five month birthday we didn't do very much. she napped on me all day while libby was at school, and I LOVE days like that. she just gets so cozy and comfy and i don't even move which makes her sleep so well! after school, we picked libby up, and headed to the park to meet some of libby's friends. mags was happy to be outside and played on a blanket while lib ran around for a few hours.
margaret is rolling over, front to back, back to front, and very fast i might add. she's making the motions of wanting to crawl, too, and this mommy isn't ready for that yet. not at all! but with libby running around, mags is bound to do things pretty quickly i imagine. she still loves her ellie toy, just like libby did, margaret just loves to have her hands on things. lately she's been putting everything in her mouth, and staring at her hands. she puts her feet in her mouth and eats her toes. we sing mary had a little lamb, Jesus loves me, itsy bitsy spider, and all sorts of songs. she loves to sing, she loves to laugh....she makes so many noises when she sleeps too, she's our little bear. she is teething and we can feel one coming in on the bottom. poor baby i hope it doesn't hurt too much!
when i reflect on the past five months, it's crazy to think about how hard it is at first. mixed with a little post partum blues, plus c-section pains and limitations as to what i could lift and how limited i was at moving/driving/walking, i look back and realize it was tough for a few months. all night feedings, mommy couldn't drive or pick up sweet big sister, couldn't walk to the park, i look back and realize in hindsight, that that was such a fleeting moment in time. and as hard as it was, i enjoyed every minute of it. all the tears and sleepless nights - i wouldn't trade it for anything. i am blessed to be a mom to my baby girls, and in five short months i feel that we are a family of four that God put me on this earth to love, nurture, and teach my baby girls all about love, and all about HIS love for us.
happy five month birthday my sweet precious, perfect margaret virginia! i love you and i thank you for all that you have done for our family in this short amount of time. it is an honor to be mom to you and libby!!!!

best part of my day
today was a fun day - a day full of libby and margaret and mama. :)
i am so thankful that i get to spend my days with my baby girls. it's so wonderful and i'm so happy because i'll never get these precious years back and i love making such wonderful memories with them!
several good moments today:
margaret LAUGHING so loudly at libby while she was jumping in her crib. it was the best sound. it even made libby crack up to hear mags laughing so hard at her!! hilarious.
going to the park and spending some time with my friends and their children, just a few of us on the blankets letting the sweet five months old interact and the bigger babies run around. :)
margaret sees libby and smiles this huge smile and grabs for her. she is in love with her. i mean, i know that they're going to be best friends someday. love it. lately libby has been taking care of margaret and paying a little more attention to her. partly because margaret is starting to do more and she's almost sitting up by herself....more on what mags is up to on tomorrow's blog post, since it'll be her five month birthday!
all in all, a wonderful day.
