Christal's Blog
Maggie's first visit with "Uncle Jim" Brisco came down to help Brad out with things around the house - it just about killed him putting up the new ceiling fan - but it looks great! He managed to fix just about everything in 4 hours - it would have taken us weeks. I just love a man in overalls!

Jim was so smitten with her - maybe we've given him the baby bug!
Can you guess what Maggie's first food was? :)
pretty much Maggie fed herself - she sucks the food right off the spoon then grabs it and holds on for dear life!
"Surely there's more in this bowl!"
Delicious organic carrots. I brought jar food - I just don't have time right now to make my own - when she starts to eat larger quantities then I'll do like I did with J and make everything - as who can afford the price of those itty bitty jars when their child eats like an elephant! I remember when I made Jackson's first food - carrots - a huge batch of them - he loved them too and soon moved on to all my other interesting meals with spices and flavors from all over the world - it really did him good - chicken nuggets are his favorite treat :) He does still like my Persian chicken and rice the best for a home cooked meal - and lamb korma remains a favorite.
Jackson's latest masterpiece!
My beautiful boy - who enjoys smashing cars - reading sleeping beauty and knows every little men book off by heart. I feel bad for him as most nights he is waking with terrible leg pain - Brad said he had the same thing - growing pains. He knows that he can now snuggle in with us and apparently this makes him feel better.... hmmmm.
nothing beats home made play dough in our house!
