Play Ball!

The season has begun, and the Pageland Red Roosters have won their first 3 games. Things are going much better with the league, although John did lose one more player. If you want to keep updated with that half of our summer, John started a blog for the team: http://www.pagelandredroosters.blogspot.com/. He's been pretty good at keeping it updated, and I think he plans on posting after each game.

As for Maggie and I, we are enjoying being able to spend time with John. Their games don't start until 5 (at the earliest) and they haven't been practicing until 4, so we get a good chunk of the day together. We have been running errands and collecting the little things we still need for the apartment. I think we have finally stopped spending money!

We have been showing our support for the Red Roosters as well. We've been to games the last two nights, and Maggie is quite obviously the cutest fan there.

All the other fans love her, and, being the easy going little girl she is, she loves them, too. She will walk up to anyone and give them rocks (or whatever else she happens to be carrying around) or climb into their laps. While it's cute now, it won't be so cute when she hops into someone's car at age 8.

Maggie and I have been to the pool a few times. She is still not too sure about the water but does pretty well. She will step off the side of the pool to me, but the water is still a little cool, so we don't usually stay long.

(Check out the huge, water soaked butt!)

Maggie is still doing her own thing. At baseball games, and just about anywhere, she likes to be able to walk around and explore. She is incredibly independent and very brave, which is good except when it causes injuries. Her climbing and attempts at running have led to many falls in the last week. The worst of which happened when Maggie was running down the hall, (I'll admit I was chasing her), tripped, and smacked her forehead on the corner of the door frame. It dented her head (yes, dented), and we were a little nervous for a bit. But, as my mom says, babies have very resilient heads.

Other updates? Maggie has two new teeth: the next tooth to the left on the top and bottom. She is talking up a storm (mainly jibberish), and we think she's finally settled into NC, and so are we.
