Dancing Play Dates & Standing Tall

Maggie's 10 months old and a few days. We had a very busy play date schedule today and left the house at 9:30 AM and didn't get back until after 7:00 tonight. Beat down. Whole Foods for cookies and cake flower, Ethan's, Knox/Henderson, McKinney, Babies 'R Us, Kate & Jake's, and finally pick up Jeff for dinner at the fabulous new Taj Mahal restaurant in downtown Dallas. Maggie had her first Indian food tonight and really liked it. She loved the seasoned rice and also enjoyed some chicken and sauce.

She's been dancing like crazy at her activity table, but I never can catch it on camera. But today at Ethan's she gave us a quick look. See video. She also stood up on her own for the first time. I'm convinced she does this while alone in her crib, but maybe I really am lucky enough to see this for the first time. She had a great time playing at both friends' homes and I enjoyed catching up with the moms.

I know she'll sleep well tonight! For now, I'm off to research cake recipes as I endeavor to make her birthday cake extra special in December. And...I have a husband who loves sweets and wouldn't mind being my test rat in the meantime.
