Midweek Update

I flipped through Erika's blog today and glanced a few photos of Hiyab and Magnolia hanging out together. I was very surprised to see the amount of growth that has taken place in Magnolia between the time of those two photos. I forgot how tiny she was when she was born, and it was a nice reminder of how far she has come in just over two months time.

This past weekend we had a visit from Grandma Carol and Great Aunt Patsy.

 

Patsy hand delivered a gift for the upcoming day of Easter. A gorgeously hand made dress that I will only partially show now, as soon enough Magnolia will be dolled up within it and photos will be taken to commemorate the day. Mango is sure to be the belle of the ball.

 Grandpa Thom had this delivered the other day, staking claim to Magnolia's mental state and prognosticating how she would rather be spending her time.

 We received a gorgeous box of Honey Bell oranges from Henry & David sent by Grandma Carol that unfortunately, Magnolia could not partake in. Her loss is our gain and Mari and I rightfully engulfed all said oranges in no time.

Magnolia didn't make a fuss at missing out on the oranges, as she is still thoroughly enjoying her liquid diet of milk and formula.

 A few small toys arrived in the mail today. Grandpa Thom and Grandma Mary sent a portable rockin' radio that Magnolia can take with her when she's on the go.
 

 
This  pacifier sharing monkey also arrived. The box lacked proper identifying factors as to who sent it. Grandpa denied responsibility, saying he only sent the above mentioned radio. So I can only assume a mommy monkey witnessed Magnolia dropping her pacifier, and sent her baby over to help out with pacifier duties. Well done mommy monkey.

 Magnolia's picture perfect face, and calm stellar personality has attracted major attention from talent scout from San Diego from the Stanley Fashion academy. In an attempt to lure Magnolia to model for the upcoming Spring Baby Season, high fashion gear is showing up on our doorstep.

 

We will see if we can sign her to a  contract with those big, come hither eyes of hers.
