Margaret will be eight months old in a week's time. But since next week will be decked to the hectic (in the most wonderful of ways), I thought I'd take a moment now and list a few reasons 8-month-old Margaret makes us all kinds of merry.
JUST CHEEKY
These cheeks are kissed roughly 397 times a day. And if you saw these cheeks in person, you'd smooch them silly, too.
Little sweet cheeks herself.
PENSIVELY SPEAKING
Some of our best comedy material has been met with seriously stoic expressions. Maggie can giggle with the best of them, but when she decides it's time for a staring contest, it's on, baby.
Seriously.
TWIRL GIRL
Despite her somewhat stoic expression in this picture (see "pensively speaking"), girlfriend loves a tutu. I very much approve of said love.

It's tutu much.
TIP OF HER TONGUE
For about a month, Margaret's tongue was constantly hanging out the side of her mouth (Grandpa Hallstrom style). I like to think her Great Grandpa gave her a heavenly lesson before she made her way down to earth.
Miss you, Great Grandpa.
GO WITH THE FLOW
Margaret lets us place her anywhere and everywhere for our weekly Margaret by the Week photo shoots — even when it's against her better judgment.
What about this is a good idea?
WHAT A DREAM
I don't deserve this dreamy baby (she's still rocking 12-hour nights). But I love that she takes after her parents in the odd-sleep department. Remember little sleepy Breezy and Adam?
She's like me. She's really, really like me.
JOY TO THE WORLD
We've got a crush on this munchkin. Is it terribly obvious?
No Margarets were harmed in the making of this picture.
