Florida: Friday (Christmas Eve)

Alejo does not seem to be on the verge of getting any teeth, but he is definitely in a "mouthy" phase. He loves loves loves to gnaw on almost anything he can get into his mouth.

Maggie really loves to be with Alejo, and both he and I love it too! She is very loving and attentive with him, really keying in on how he's feeling and what he wants. I love to watch him be loved so sweetly.

The weather continued to be a bit cool, so we continued to use the hot tub. I went on a walk with Mom, Randolph, Lauren, Eston and Maggie. When we got back, we found almost everyone in the hot tub - with Alejo looking on from his bumbo. It was a happy group!



In July 2007, I took LOTS of pictures of Maggie jumping off the dock at Lake Allatoona. Here is just one of her jumping into the pool at Marco Island.
We had our traditional Christmas Dinner on Christmas Eve. While it was a pot luck affair, Mom did a great job of managing the big picture, and making sure we had an amazing meal to sit down to together.


Lauren rivaled Maggie in her sweet love for and attention to Alejo. He is one lucky kid/cousin/nephew.
In preparation for Christmas day, Maggie helped Bibi make the fresh-squeezed orange juice. With 13 people, we needed a lot of OJ. (In the end we supplemented with a gallon of store bought juice).
