Three months have gone by so fast...well, not really. Magali has finally grown into her clothes, which makes mommy very proud. Unfortunately, all the clothes are for summer time, and, well, it's getting pretty chilly in Longmont. We are now moving into the fleece pajama phase of Magali's life. Grandma and Nanny have generously provided clothing to help in the ever growing phases of Magali. Grandma has been sewing and knitting sweater and hats. Unfortunately, Magali is not too fond of hats. Hopefully she will soon be since it is soo cold and they are so gosh darn cute!
What have we been up too. Well, we have been going to our mommy's group and learning about all the things other mommy's are dealing with. We are a little left out of the group's "norm" since I'm not breastfeeding but bottle feeding breast milk, I don't use cloth diapers, and I do buy her new clothes and don't go to the thrift store to stay "green" on baby wear. As some of you may have already guessed...this mom's group is in Boulder.
We have been going to a French mom's group and that's been going great. She is the youngest one there but that doesn't put a damper on things. We spend about two hours a week just speaking French and hopefully this will help her soak up the language. It's fun to see all the little kiddo's speaking French together. One day, hopefully, that will be Magali. Joel and I have already started talking about schools for Magali and where we would like her to learn French in school. The good part is that Joel's work can take him anywhere and that means that we can be picky about the school we put her into...who knows if that means Colorado or somewhere else.
I have joined a couple of other mom's group but they all seem to have some kind-of drinking event associated with their get together or play dates. Not something I want to participate in or be anywhere near!
Well, what has Miss Magali been up to this month? Well here is the run down.
- She went on her first official vacation to Avon and did very well. She got to ride the gondola up to the top of the Vail mountain and see the views from about 11,000 feet. Not too bad.
- Here hair is growing in and pretty soon, we'll be able to put a little barrette in it. Daddy can't wait!
- She's putting her hands together grabbing at toys. Her favorite is her singe (monkey).
- She's been great at eye contact and moving her head when you call her name. If someone else holds her other than mommy or daddy, she looks around to see where we're at.
- She talks back! Yes, already. When we make cooing sounds to her she will mimic them back.
- She's holding her head up and sitting up assisted. She loves to be sitting during our mommy's group so that she can see the other kids playing.
- She has a boyfriend...Yes, she had met a little boy in our mommy' s group and they will sit in front of each other and smile back and forth.
- She has started sleeping for 6-8 hours in one stretch at night. That scares mommy a little but hey, whatever she wants.
