Maggie is One Month

Margaret Denise is One Month Old

6/10/15

10.5 lbs (on our home scale)

Maggie is a sweet, sweet baby who sleeps well, eats well, and is just along for the ride. She is still sleeping most of the time but is slowly waking up more often and even giving us smiles. Her big brothers are convinced they taught her how to smile and they are very proud of themselves. They absolutely adore her and fight over her attention and face time when she's awake. They are big helpers as far as grabbing things for Mommy and throwing things away. They also like to yell, "She needs milk!" every time she cries. Very helpful. :) Maggie likes to be swaddled, she sometimes likes her pacifier, she seems to tolerate the noise levels at our house, and she just loves to be held and cuddled so we are soaking up every minute of this newborn phase. I've even heard her Daddy throw the word "perfect" around. Watch out world!

Along for the ride: trips to the Farmers Market and Library.

Sweet, sleeping smiles

The Annual Scottish Festival with our neighbors.
(Maggie's not in this one, but she was there too!)

She has lots of love from her brothers and cousins and she has plenty of "sheep dogs" to watch over her and protect her. 

She loves to be swaddled, but apparently Mommy needs to work on her skills.

Lockridgeland's 1st Trip

Dave had a couple of days off so we headed over to the coast for a quick, first family of five road trip. Maggie slept most of the time, the boys were awesome, I'd say a great time was had by all!

Quick stop at Casa de Fruta.

Monterey Bay Aquarium: cuddles with Mommy.

Being brave and touching things in the tide pools. 

Our favorite spot: the Open Sea.

Dennis the Menace park and even Daddy got in on the rolly slide action!

Family picture attempt.

3 kids in a clam.

My 3 loves.

We stopped off at some tide pools on our way up to San Francisco. Maggie and I watched our boys explore and climb.

A trip to Alcatraz was super fun! The boys loved the boat ride over, and Levi loved the headset with the tour (Caleb, not so much!). 

It was a great trip! Love this family of mine! :)

Firsts for Maggie

There have been lots of firsts the last few weeks and our sweet Maggie girl has been along for the ride. What a champ!

First day home from the hospital: neighborhood walk
and Caleb decided to take the training wheels off his bike and ride "like a big boy!" 

Big brother cuddles. Learning about the Dodgers. So much love.

Watching batting practice in the backyard.

First outing at Bel Passi fields to watch her big brothers play TBall. Go Nuts!

Caleb's new favorite past time: checking in on sweet Maggie.

The "Smother Brothers" love their little sister. :)

She loves being carried and she slept through cherry picking.

Visiting our neighbor Molly.

Sweet, sleeping smiles.

Bright eyed and taking in the world around her.

Papa visited and got in his share of Maggie cuddles. 

Maggie-1, Swaddle- 0
She broke out of her swaddle during nap time and seemed very proud of herself.

The Smother Brothers strike again at Concert in the Park.
They sure love her!

Maggie is here!

Harden Family Vacation

We drove down to the OC for some warm weather and family time. 

The boys have become great travelers and were so looking forward to staying in a hotel. We finally got there around bedtime and they insisted on carrying in the luggage. Such strong and helpful boys we have!

First up: Catalina island!

Waiting for the ferry.

Just off the ferry and (most of us were) ready for FUN!

Lunch by the water and this lovely buffalo.

Levi always wants to be just like Daddy.

Golf cart island tour!

Bryan & Alison & Baby Cubby :)

Mom & Dad

Daddy and Caleb enjoying their time on the boat.

Levi loved being on the boat and insisted on being outside to watch for whales and dolphins.

Thumbs up for golf cart rides!

 Next stop: Disneyland!

It's the happiest place on earth and these boys know it and are always excited!

Caleb insisted on waiting in line to see Sofia because he wanted to give her a hug and a kiss.  His words. Seriously. We're in trouble.

Levi got his first drivers license and then Papa got him his very own Oakley wallet to put it in.

 Last stop: Ruth's Chris with the adults. Thanks to Whitney for watching the kiddos and giving us a night off!

It's a terrible, red-eyed, iPhone picture, but we were all there and loved the great food and family time.

Thanks everyone for another memorable trip! We love you! Here's to a fantastic 2014!!!
