Yes, I really do put shoes on Maci.
But I have to be ready very early,
because it takes about 10 minutes...

This is the only time you will ever see that head band.
It left a horrible mark similar to that
of a post-craniotomy patient...for hours.

Maci thinks it is fun to close the door in Cali's face.
She's not allowed to close the door.
Or touch the door.
Obviously, we have some work to do.
(Especially since daddy was taking a picture instead of intervening...I'm just saying.)

This is Maci's new favorite thing to do with her exersaucer.
Maybe she's ready for stage 3...the stand-up toy.
