Well my little one it’s amazing to me that it’s been almost
five months since you where born. I’m
laying here next to you and it is amazing just how much you have grown and
changed, my little brand new baby is growing up. I was just watching videos of when we brought
you home from the hospital, you where so full of wonder and awe, you still are
but now you smile and giggle and coo, I love you so much.
Some of
your milestones are that you love to stand and have for about a month and a
half, you would like it if we would just let you be on your feet all the
time. You are just starting baby food
and for the most part you like it, prunes and bananas are on your favorite list
although the only other thing we’ve tried are peaches:) You are rolling over by
yourself and you know your such a big girl, you also screech and scream just to
make sure that we don’t forget you. You
have some little toys that we put above your carseat that amaze and fascinate
you. Everyday you just get more and more
fun and I fall deeper and deeper in love with you.
We are in South Dakota right now AIing cows, correct that
John is in AIing, Maggie and I may go out for short little time frames and then
we are in the house lol. We’ve taken a
few walks and played on the swing set at the schoolyard, we spend a lot of time
playing peekaboo. The first few days we
where here Maggie was just plain pooped, she slept a lot and got caught up on
her rest, that makes all the difference in the world on how happy she is! The trip here wasn’t to bad, we did it over a
three day time period, by about 7:30 Maggie is done for the night on traveling
and is ready just to play.
John is
crazy about her. As soon as he walks in
the door he’s all about Maggie and is quite the little mother hen, he tells me
often what I need to do for our little Pumpkin Pie! We took a ride with Ken up to Thunder Butte
last night, Maggie fell fast asleep in the truck. It was hot about 100 degree’s and the truck
wouldn’t stay cooled down, John still wanted to hold his little love bug and
took her and put her over his shoulder.
She knows him and loves him. How
blessed I am to have this much love in our home. I’ve come to the realization that nothing
else really matters as long as I have my family. Each day I want to live the best I can so I
can teach Maggie all she needs to know and raise her to be a good person. So much hope and promise lies in this little
baby. I really never realized how entwined
my heart would be in loving her.
Utah is on
fire right now, it’s so dry and we need rain so badly. I can tell by dad’s voice that he’s over the
top with worry. Utah’s soil had only 5 %
humidity about two weeks ago, that was the lowest in the Nation. They have evacuated towns and are pushing
cattle off of the forest. We just went
to the forest yesterday, I pray that the cattle will be watched over and
protected.
John has
been crazy busy here, they leave every morning at about 4:30 and don’t get home
until about nine, I don’t know how he’s still functioning.
Maggie on
the other hand sleeps till about 9:00 every morning and then wakes up as happy
as can be but would like a nap shortly after that.
We are
going to go to Utah in a few weeks, I can’t wait! It’s time just to be home in my beautiful
Beaver valley, I’m so glad that I’ve got a husband that loves me otherwise
there is no way in HELL that I would stay in South Dakota:) My hat goes off to
the women that call this home year round!
Well I’m going to get the boys breakfast they are fixing to come in for
a bit this morning to feed the hunger.
I’ll try and get back to this later,
Maggie is just waking up!
Jeannie
