August already?

Maggie’s vocabulary has been growing quite a bit these past couple weeks, and her pronunciation is improving too. For some reason, I love the way she says “mouth.” She pronounces it perfectly.

Jamie and I went with our buddies Julie and Ryan to a Tigers game on Friday and had awesome seats, front row on the first-base-line. Jamie finally got his hands on a foul ball! Maggie enjoyed playing with our new “ba-ball,” though she seems to be more into soccer than baseball:

I have to say, I was rather shocked that Jamie let her play with the ball at all! Just shows how much his priorities have changed. Maggie > Memorabilia.

Finally!

Jamie was lucky enough to see Jennifer Garner in person this week with Maggie. She and Ben Affleck are living in Royal Oak while he shoots a movie, and we’ve heard they go to a lot of our favorite spots around town. Jamie took Maggie to Grant Park and Jennifer was there with her 3 kids. He didn’t try to bother her, but as they were all leaving to get out of the rain, Maggie was jabbering and walking in everyone’s way as usual, and Jennifer said, “she’s adorable.” (is it pathetic that I find this newsworthy?) This is all from Jamie’s mouth… so for all I know, he saw her and professed his love, after which she replied, “that’s adorable” with sympathizing eyes.

Earlier this week we got to meet Adam and Sara's new baby girl, Hazel! Maggie was practicing her babysitting skills... she still needs a little training!
