Game time

Updates:

Maggie is on her 4th round of antibiotics for her ear infections, hopefully this one will do the trick.  Meanwhile, we made an appointment with the Ear, Nose, Throat doctor (the same one we used for Colin) to check her out and see if she'd be a good candidate for tubes.  I will keep you posted.

Colin had a playdate with his cousin Olivia this morning for a few hours.  I felt like I got about 10,000 things done while Maggie napped for 1.5 hours.  We've almost got the house all ready to go, just a few little random chores left.  I got some touch-up painting done, laundry, vacuuming, baking, and just picked up the kitchen some.  It looks great now!

 Maggie took a break from playing (and practicing how to crawl) for a little photo shoot.

Can you tell she's teething like crazy right now?  A big top tooth popped through yesterday, but it looks like there's more bottom teeth ready to go soon.

She sure does chomp on her toys hard...poor thing!

On another note...

The MU/KU basketball game was today.  And, if you didn't know, Brian is a Mizzou fan, and I'm a Jayhawk fan.  We usually don't get too excited about games except when they play each other, especially basketball.  It kindof stinks, because someone's team always ends up losing...

Mizzou and KU played earlier this year in Missouri and MU won...

They played again, but this time in Kansas.  And, this was a special game because MU is leaving the Big 12 for the SEC next year.  Last rival game of ever...and it turned out to be a great one.

I made these little pretzel treats for the game.  Apparently we ate too many KU ones because I ran out of them while I was trying to spell "KU".

Mommy loves KU, Daddy loves MU, Colin loves MU, Maggie, well, she hasn't quite decided yet.

She started off the game wearing her super cute Mizzou cheerleader dress (which had some matching bloomers, that I had to take off of her because her chunky-monkey legs were too fat for them!)

 Our friends Brett and Andy came over for the game, and Andy made cookies.  Here is Colin at half-time of the game, giving me a thumbs up while eating the yummy cookies.

 Since the Jayhawks were losing by a TON at half-time, I went ahead and squeezed Maggie into this tiny Jayhawks shirt (size newborn!) so she could change the fate of the game.

Well, she did!

KU started making a comeback, cutting down the 19 point lead to just 2 or 3 points.

 So, Daddy decided to strip Maggie of her KU shirt to change the fate of the game again.

Since Maggie was cheering for no specific team in particular, 

it ended up in a tie and we went into overtime.

Eventually the game ended and...

Daddy and Colin were sad.

But it really was a nail-biter to the end.

 After the game, Brett was entertaining the kids.  They both just loved Brett and Andy so much.

 Brett and Maggie.  It took a little bit for Maggie to warm up to him, but after a while (as you can see), she loved him!
