12 months of Miss Margaret Gray

One of my favorite photos of our silly little girl.

Her hands are adorable and her looong legs make me smile.

OOoo, weee! She loves to suck those fingers, especially if shes holding her beloved pig or tired.

Speaking of being tired, Margaret's a pretty good sleeper. Sleeps about 12 hours at night and still takes 2 naps.

Lately, I've been rocking her after she wakes up. Just trying to squeeze in some one on one time and I appreciate that she'll snuggle with me.

When Henry wakes up, she walks into his room (squealing) and climbs into bed with him.

When she is hungry, she walks to the "pantry" in our kitchen and bangs on her chest ("please") until I get her her favorite snacks- raisins, animal crackers, clementines.

She tries to put things around her neck... like my sewing tape measure and Christmas tree garland.
The girl wants to accessorize.

Says the "uh" of "uh oh".

Blows air like an elephant, kisses like a fish, waddles like a penguin, and stings herself like a bee.

Points at her head.

Drinks milk from a sippy cup.

If I let her, she would stand on any and all tables/ chairs.... and smile at me while doing so.

Margaret likes to take toys and books up into her chair with her.

Loves to hug on stuffed animals.

Tries to motivate me to exercise... sigh.

Hates to be put in her car seat. Once she's strapped in, she's a great passenger.... well, except when she's pestering Henry... which consists of grabbing his hand/arm. "Margaret, please stop it. No ma'am! Stop it!"

MMMwah! Margaret gives the sweetest kisses :)

Loves bathtime. Loves to drink the water. Eww.
