Big time walker

Meghan has definitely mastered walking this week! YEAH!! She still crawls quite a bit because it's so fast, but she can walk all over the house and has even been able to turn around. She also now likes to carry things as she walks, but I don't encourage that, because I see a busted lip in the future doing that!

We've been busy this week too! We went to Gymboree on Monday to play and it was a blast! There was all kinds of stuff to crawl on, in and around, plus bubbles and a big parachute. Tuesday, Miss Thing got her pictures taken, which she behaved pretty well for. At least until the end, when she got tired and very clingy to me! Yesterday was gorgeous so we went to the park. She loved the swing and the higher and faster she went, the louder her screams and giggles. Today's plans include tennis shoe shopping for me!! ( I worked at Chicago's last night, so I've got money burning a hole in my pocket!) Tomorrow we are having lunch with Michelle and Bryce and the newly married Krista. This week has really made me look forward to the summer. I can't wait to do all kinds of fun things!

Easter Fun!

Here's a pic of the family for Meghan's first Easter.  We went to church with Randy, Rhett, Jessica (Rhett's girlfriend), and Kamryn.  Meghan was fine for the beginning part, but then she got to entertaining the people behind us with a couple of yells and her little ornery laugh, so Ryan and I got up and took her to the nursery.  We actually ended up leaving her there.  When we went to pick her up, they told us she was quite a curious little girl.  HA!  "Curious!"  I figured she was into EVERYTHING and probably kept saying "ooooooohhh" which is what she does these days when she's got something new to play with!! Too funny!  We then had dinner at Randy's house and hung out for the afternoon.  The food was good, but of course nothing like Mom's cooking!  No homemade pies :(  I did make Robert Redford and a cheesecake though.   

Spring Break Baby!

Yes!! Spring Break is here. We celebrated last night with pizza and basketball!! Wohoo!! Miss thing was acting so lovey-dovey last night, it cracked us up. She kept walking back and forth between us and each time she'd give us a kiss or two. This is really funny, especially since everyday for the past two weeks or so she hasn't given out any kisses.

This morning when we went to go in to get her she was standing up chewing on the edge of her crib and gave us the biggest grin ever. I think she was pleasantly surprised to have Mommy and Daddy there to get her, rather than just her daddy. Little does she know she's got a WHOLE week with me!!! I decided to do some cleaning so I put on some cartoon channel and the Wiggles were on. SHe's never watched them before, but was pretty ethralled with them, so I got the kitchen floor swept and mopped and the downstairs bathroom cleaned. I always said I'd never use the tv like that, but you gotta do what you gotta do!! We are heading out this afternoon (after she takes a morning nap, keeping my fingers crossed on this one) and going to my parents house to help out Dad with Kate and Claire so he can get all ready for Florida.

Better be on my way....Meghan has been "reading" books, but I think I hear that it's changed to eating them. Oh-oh!

Chillin' on the way home

Just hanging out on the way home from Mamaw and Papaw's today.  She usually has a mouthful of fuzz because she tries to eat the fur off of the hood of her coat. 

Pigtails!

Wow...I used the computer to fix this picture, as you can see.  I was just attempting to get a good pic of her while she was standing at the window, but it came out all funny, so I doctored the coloring a bit.  Looks kinda professional though! 

Mean Face

Meghan makes this face all the time now. We call it her mean face.  Usually she gives us this look when we tell her no to something she shouldn't be doing.  We are gonna have our hands full, huh?

Miss Meghan and her Great Papaw

This is a pic of the two of them at Claire's birthday party today. 

Libby and Marcia.....please don't tell Grandpa his pic is on the internet.  I'm sure he'd freak out thinking someone would be stealing his identity through this!!

All Dressed Up!

Ta daaaaaa!!!  Here's Miss Thing all dressed up before Krista's wedding.  She even posed nicely so I could take her picture!  Yeah!!!!!

Time flies

Can't believe it was February the last time I updated here. Life has been nuts the past few weeks, but it's getting better now. Basketball is over and Spring Break will be here Friday!! WOHOO!! I can't hardly wait to spend the entire week with you! I have birthday money to spend and lots of things I want to buy myself, so we'll probably have some bonding time at the mall.

Finally, you are beginning to really walk! You just crack us up at the way you'll go back and forth back and forth walking between us while we sit on the floor. It's so funny to watch your wiggly little walk. How amazing is this...one year ago we were anxiously waiting your arrival and now you are walking around on your own. Man.....this year has gone by quickly.

Tonight was Krista's wedding. You slept through the ceremony and were an angel during hte reception...or at least what little of it we were there for. We of course couldn't stay too long because of the tournament games on tv. No way could Daddy miss much of those. Anyways, you were entertaining and making silly faces to everyone, and you even got to meet Maya tonight! I sure hope that you and her don't become roommates in college someday and act as crazy as her mommy and I did! You even offered up a kiss to a woman you don't even know. That's really funny because we've been begging for kisses for two days and you act like you have no idea what we're talking about. Silly kid! You must just be stubborn, but I don't know where you'd get that????????

I'll be posting pics soon.........
