Maggie is a beautiful baby - she gives Brad, me and Jackson big smiles and has started to coo and laugh which is delightful - of course she has her fussy time which is pretty much 6 till 9 when she is only happy when held, rocked or nursing - it can be a long 3 hours as this is when J is needing attention for getting ready for bed, bed time snack, clean up time and story time. He is in bed by 8 :30 and then we collapse on the couch with Maggie - Brad is great at settling her when I am over having her on my boobs. occasionally i have given her formula at this time or for her late night feed around 11, she just seems so hungry lately and although i am trying to increase my milk by nursing her on demand and pumping extra milk, in the evening I just can't handle having her on me every half hour - i am not going for mother of the year this year so although I know I know breast is best - so is formula for a tired mother.
Her skin has cleared up wonderfully after suffering from baby acne - thanks to a wonderful gift basket sent from an old friend, Jennifer, with burts bees products.

we really enjoyed having Sara and her two children, Max and Lilly over to visit.
