Margaux at 16 months is more active than ever! Here are a few shots of her playing and getting busy around the house.
Margaux the helper
Posted in Margaux, Pediatrician Appt on 05/18/2010 10:58 am by KathyMargaux really tries to help whenever she can. Its really stinking cute!
Yesterday I was unloading the dishwasher and one of my mixing bowls that goes in “her” drawer was on the lower shelf near where she was standing. I asked her if she could take the bowl and put it away in the drawer. And sure enough, she picked it up, went right to her drawer and put it away! She was so proud of herself. Just really sweet!
She’s still a great eater and does well with veggies and a lot of variety.
I never updated on her 15-month appointment last week either. It was not fun! An older girl was crying in the treatment room when we arrived so as soon as we went back Margaux started bawling. Lots of drama!
Beyond that she is perfectly healthy! 25lbs 2oz (or so, she was screaming on the scale!) & 31″ tall. About 70% for both! 
Baby #2 is on the way – and its a BOY!

Little Walker

Margaux gets the mail
Posted in Margaux, Video on 03/07/2010 07:34 pm by KathyMargaux leads us almost every day on adventures around our building. Back on February 17th we captured her heading out to grab the mail. As you can tell, she loves running around our building!
The sweetest things
Posted in Margaux, Milestone, Pediatrician Appt on 02/23/2010 06:35 pm by KathyI’m so behind updating here. I want to do it more b/c I’m sure I’ll forget so many little things. So speaking of little things, Margaux walked without thinking about it today! She was playing by the couch, grabbed her stuffed piggie, and walked over to her little chair. It was a good 5 or so steps of just walking! No coaxing, no holding my hands out, just her doing what came natural. So cool!
Also on Sunday or Monday when I put her down, I was leaving her room and I *swear* she said “Night night Mama”. Swoon, makes you heart happy!
So back tracking a little, M had her 1-yr appt on Feb 10. She weighed in at 23lb 14 oz (90%) and 30″ (85%). She got a bunch of shots which wasn’t so fun. Then a few days later we had to get her blood drawn for the lead & anemia test. That was AWFUL. It wasn’t the blood draw that was so bad, it was the techs trying to hold her arm out, me trying to keep her still, etc. She was NOT happy, sobbing & upset. Poor thing.
We have a great movie I need to edit and hope to post soon! Its fun, I promise you’ll enjoy this trip to the mailbox.
Marguax moves & shakes
Posted in Margaux, Video on 01/22/2010 06:25 pm by KathyMargaux is getting around all over these days. She’s getting closer and closer to walking but hasn’t pulled the trigger on it yet. She’s good at walking holding onto only one hand but loses her confidence a bit when you attempt to have her let go.
That said, today she entertained us with some booty bounce dancing & some walker exploits. Enjoy!
Margaux Cracking Up
Posted in Margaux, Video on 01/15/2010 07:33 am by KathyMargaux welcomed 2010 with good humor the way she approaches everything. Enjoy!
Hopefully some walking-type videos soon too!!
End of 2009
Posted in Margaux, Milestone, Photos on 12/31/2009 05:29 pm by KathyMargaux’s first calendar year is coming to a close. Its been a fun & exciting year, including milestones, smiles, & laughs.
And here, on the last day of the year, Margaux mastered her walker AND stood alone for the first time! She loves to tote around this elephant the Utley family gave her for Christmas.
Enjoy these end of the year grins and we’ll be trying to update a LOT more in the new year.
9-Month Stats
Posted in Margaux, Pediatrician Appt on 11/12/2009 06:49 am by KathyWe had Margaux’s 9-month appointment yesterday. When Dr. Soloman walked in she started clapping and he was very impressed. 
She started clapping this week and claps all the time, its really cute!
Margaux is doing just fantastic! Growing like a champ and still sleeping through the night wonderfully. She has been trying to go without naps but hopefully its a phase.
Her stats:
- Height: 29″ (90%-ile)
- Weight: 20llbs 14oz (80%-ile)
I thought she was going to weigh more but you just never know.
Oh and he pointed out where her teeth are starting to swell to come thru. The two bottom fronts. So exciting!
