1. Oma bought Maggie a traditional Austrian outfit for girls called a Dimdl (think Heidi and Alpine Mountains). She saved it for a Christmas present but once Maggie received it, her head was too big and she couldn't fit into it!!! Oma was devastated and she tried desperately to find a way for Maggie to fit into the dress but she never did.
2. Mommy and Daddy knew that when they had a second baby, if it was a boy, his name would be Mason Lee after Daddy's Grandfathers. But they never had another 'M' name picked for a second girl but knew they would use the feminine spelling of Leigh as a middle name. While in Austria, Mommy got a massage from a woman who had a baby girl exactly one month older than Maggie. Her little girl's name was Marin. Clearly, Mommy & Daddy fell in love with the name.
And ever since I was born, Mommy and Oma have been trying this dress on me constantly to make sure that we get some good pictures of me in it before my head is too big to fit into it. Here are some initial results in honor of my 9 month birthday tomorrow:
