Ice Cream!

Maggie had her first ice cream cone Tuesday night. It was the most sugar she has ever had (even though there was only a tiny scoop of ice cream in it), and she loved it and didn't want to let go. She would try to dive into it and was very serious about it.

Flowers and a balloon...

Sam surprised me and Maggie with a balloon and flowers. We were both very excited, and Maggie's favorite part of the balloon is when I rub it on my bangs so that they stick up. Pretty hilarious...

Montana Wedding

And she's off...

...almost. Last night Maggie took her first steps, and this afternoon she has been going between Sam and I on her two little legs. It is pretty adorable, and she gets applause and accolades from us, so I think we will have a walker soon...

Moscow

Maggie and I flew up to Moscow (thanks to my parents) to visit with family before we headed off to Montana for a cousin's wedding. We had a great time with everyone, and it was fun to watch Maggie and Peter and Ridley playing together.

A few firsts...

We went for a walk around the park on a hot afternoon, and on our way home we passed by a campaign tent, and got free popsicles! Maggie loved it.
Here is Maggie at the pool. She is fearless, and so happy in the water.

Maggie got into her bumbo all by herself, and she was quite pleased with this new skill.
