-Make Maggie laugh... he is the best at this.
-Playing "Texas Tea"... playing in the water in the sink making "tea" and pouring into glasses for us to "drink"
-Talking about when he is a man... ex: he will have hair on his knees! (he is also planning on marrying a girl and climbing a tree.)

Maggie's newest accomplishments:
-Sitting up with no support... to the point where we can walk away! (She sat up alone for the first time at 3 1/2 months).
-Seems to be working on her "H" sounds... lots of hey, ha, hee, hoe, hoo sounds lately.
-Looking at whoever is holding her.
-Jumping, of course!
-Begining of some stranger anxiety.
