Month six is finally upon us, and this is a very special month for me because it’s my first Father’s Day! It’s been a cool ride these last few months and like every other month I’ve written a newsletter, what’s she’s learning and doing this month is just so amazing! But this month brought a very special surprise, Father’s Day morning Lisa informed that I had a very special Father’s Day surprise – Maggie got her first tooth! How cool is that! Definately made for a rockin’ Father’s Day present.
Now, while getting a tooth is a pretty monumental adventure, the biggest adventure for Maggie, however, was probably our second family vacation – our annual famliy vacation to the beach with Lisa’s family. Me, Lisa, Maggie, Phillip, and Kevin all packed up on Friday night and headed to Mobile where we camped that night and woke up the next morning and made the rest of the trip. We would have made it all on Friday night had we known how close we were and if I had gotten off work any earlier. You live and learn. Maggie was a real trooper and did absolutely great. She also didn’t seem to mind her first night in a tent, although it did take her a little bit of time to get to sleep because she wanted to play with the tag in the corner of the tent – what a cutie. 
The next day we headed on down to Gulf Shores where later that afternoon we met up with Lisa’s family and began what would turn out to be a fun little vacation. It was a lot different this year, that’s for sure. Not only did we have a baby this time, but we dragged along two of our friends this time to! But all in all, I think everyone had a good time. Maggie got her first swim in a pool and in the ocean! We had bought her this cool little float that was supposed to allow her to “sit” in it, but still splash in the water. I think she was really too small to fit so we had to carry in the water, but with a baby that cool who really minds? Of course we still couldn’t manage to catch her rollover although we know she did it at least twice while we were at the beach!
Maggie girl, you mean the whole wild world to me! You have meant so much to me that I don’t know if I can ever give back to you. I’m so proud of how big and strong you are growing that it almost scares me to see what’s going to happen in the next six months because you’re definately not staying my little girl. But that’s okay, because I want you to grow up big and strong to be exactly the person you were born to be. There are going to be alot of time I wish you weren’t growing up so fast, but I know you also have you your life to live! No matter what happens I will always see you as my little girl, but I promise I’ll always do what I can to help you become the woman God has planned for you to be! I love you my sweet, still little, girl!
