Maggie is 2 Months

Our sweet Maggie girl is 2 months old!

12lbs 2oz , 23in

She sleeps through the night (mostly). She eats well and quickly. She loves her brothers and smiles and coos at them with her whole body wriggling  to turn to see them. She is ticklesh, she is happy, and she is so go-with-the-flow-- she is probably the easiest baby I've ever known. Seriously. She is just a joy to have in our family, it almost makes those rough nine months of pregnancy worth it! :)

Maggie's Newborn Photos & Family Pictures

My good friend Jodie Martin took some photos of Maggie and our family. Maggie didn't really cooperate (it was pretty chilly outside for a May evening), but Jodie was still able to get some fantastic shots of her, and the boys, and our whole family. We love her and highly recommend her--thanks Jodie!!! (And thanks to Amy for loaning out her awesome farm for our backdrops.)

  

Even a fun one of the boys and my parents, who came along as boy wranglers.

Lockridgeland goes South

 

We headed down to Irvine to visit with Papa and celebrate Father's Day weekend at the Dodgers game. We watched them play the Giants and Maggie got to check off her 1st Dodgers game off her bucket list. (She beats Levi as the youngest Lockridge kid to ever see an MLB game by one week!) 

Rocking our Dodger blue!

These boys love Dodger Stadium almost as much as their Daddy and Papa.

We also snuck in some time at the beach, and this princess had the best spot in the sand.

And no trip to a hotel is complete without lots and lots of swimming. These fishies were all over that pool and Maggie proves that she is still not a fan of the water. But Happy Father's Day to the very best Daddy around!

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!
