I don't really know what to name this?

I don't really know what to call this post as it is an update from the last month or so and contains a lot of different info. I haven't been overly busy, I just haven't felt like blogging. Maggie is getting to a fun age to play with and since she doesn't nap during the day very much I don't have much down time to blog.

The end of August brought Mark's birthday and we typically spend a few day camping at Ludington State Park with the Katerberg Clan. This year was not any different. Although camping with a almost 4 month old is definitely different. I was very leery of the whole experience and didn't really want to go, but I was told over and over again it would ok. Which is was, but Maggie ended up sleeping in the 5th wheel with Grandma and Grandpa Clover which was great for Mom and Dad but maybe not great for them. Putting a baby to sleep in a campground at 8 pm is not a easy task. Too much noise. She did enjoy the rest of camping, the trees and sand and bugs. She wanted to inspect them all.

August also brought us news that Maggie would be getting a new cousin. Mark's brother and his wife are expecting in March. They have speedy, crazy, bundle of joy who is almost 3 already. So the Clover family is expanding. Which is exciting.

In September we took Maggie to the Zoo for the first time. Grandma and Grandpa Bronsink wanted to take all the grand kids so off we went with Geoffrey, Alyssa and Emily. Of course Maggie loved this as well. Partially because it was outside but also because of all the attention. She is an attention hog. I understand this is fairly normally for a child her age. She gets very upset when she is not the center of attention.

The end of the month brought Artprize. I was very excited about this because last year I was flat on my back sick with a little bean in my belly. This year that bean has a name and it's Maggie and she got to go to Artprize with us. We went on a Friday afternoon to try and beat some of the crowds. We had so much fun watching the crazy people and what they call art. Mom and went down again last week because the weather was to nice to resist. 80 degree's in October. Who can beat that,

Here is the latest Maggie stats. This was at her 4 month appt in the beginning of September.

Weight: 19.8 lbs

Height: 27.75 inches

She is off the charts for height and weight. She is starting to roll over and can sit up briefly. We are just starting to feed baby food. Her favorite so far is banana.
