Maggie's Hat Trick

Maggie has grown up so much over the last couple of weeks.
She's learned to crawl out of and off the bed by herself, even in the middle of a nappy change. Grrrrrrr!
(Of course I'm still talking about OUR bed. Unfortunately the euphoria around her sleeping in her own cot was shortlived.)
She's also developed a unique laugh, which sounds more like a high pitched chuckle.

Today marked another milestone in Maggie's exciting life.
She managed to score a hat trick of mis-haps.

• The first occurred while Marge took the kids shopping at Westfield Woden. As Marge wheeled Maggie's stroller out of Big W, she noticed something different about Maggie. Our baby's shirt and the sides of the stroller were soaked in vomit. Maggie was still smiling, so it musn't have been too uncomfortable for her.
• The second - in the evening, after I got home from work. We heard a thud from the kid's computer table, followed by Maggie's unmistakable roar of pain. We rushed over and found Maggie crying face down on the carpet. She must have climbed onto the table again. These days, she loves to climb. Thankfully, it was only a 1 foot drop. Lisa was actually laughing at Maggie's misfortune, until she saw our panic when we realised that blood was trickling down the side of Maggie's mouth. We quickly checked her mouth. Her teeth seemed OK. We traced the blood to a cut on her top lip. It's a bit swollen now, but she's fine.
• And the third. While Marge and I were winding down, after putting the kids to sleep. Another loud thud - this time from our room. We didn't even have time to roll our eyes and give each other the 'Not again' look. We rushed in and found Maggie on the floor sitting upright against Marge's bedside table! She stopped crying pretty quickly - she's had worse. Thank God she didn't roll off my side of the bed. She would have hit a minefield of junk.

I'm so glad Maggie's sleeping soundly now. After a day like today, she deserves it.
