Trapped!

We spent the morning and afternoon shopping with Mamaw. We first had to return the gates we had because they weren't wide enough for the stairway. You will now be TRAPPED because I did find a wide enough one for the stairway. It has been put up but tonight you have been more interested in playing with your letters and not the stairway.

I picked up several things for your birthday. Spring clothes are so cute! I can't wait to see you toddling around in shorts and summer dresses!!! :) When we got home I did the bittersweet task of going through your closet. I had been still squeezing you into some 6-9 month tops, but your pudgy lil belly won't allow them much anymore. It's always sad going through and putting away small things that I know you'll never wear again. But, as always, I'm glad that you are growing and healthy.

Bath time is approaching for now. It should be fun because I picked up several new bath toys!!! Wohoo!! We'll see who has more fun with them, you or mommy? LOL! We've got basketball games the next three nights, so updates will be on hold til then.....

A busy body!

Meghan is into EVERYTHING!!! This is her favorite activity to do now in our bedroom. Pull Daddy's magazines out and start tearing. We tried to put a chair up to keep her out, but she just crawls through and then gets stuck and mad, of course!! Tonight for the first time we had to get out the baby gates because she has discovered the stairs. Unfortunately, they aren't wide enough. Looks like I gotta get longer ones tomorrow on my day off. So for tonight, we spent it chasing her from the living room to the stairs. She thought it was a fun game, I think differently. Every time we say her name now when she's crawling, she just takes off as fast as she can! To say the least....we are gonna have our hands full! Loving every minute though.......

A pic to view!

I took this pic on the same day I started my blog. I just didn't know how to post pics yet!!

One more pic...

Here is another one from the same day!

Date night with Daddy

I worked last night so Meghan had alone time with her daddy. I guess he fed her Turkey/Rice dinner, but she ended up spitting it out at him. She hasn't been doing that in a while, but I guess she thought it'd be funny to do to Daddy. We definitely do not find this funny, but telling her "No!" just doesn't work either.

I didn't make much money because Chicago's was slow, but hey, it's more than I started out with. I'm sure I'll go blow it when we go the riverboat in a couple of weeks for Krista and Brandon's party. I wish I had the willpower to save money!

This morning was Daddy's morning to get up with Meghan and she slept until 8:45am. WOW! This was after sleeping all night too. I really hope that she starts sleeping all night again. It's been getting better, but still not back to the 12 hours she used to always sleep. I'm starting to get really worried about her giving up the bottle in a couple of months. She likes the sippy cup, but these days really prefers a real cup. The big plastic ones are her favs.

She is now into pulling all the magazines off the nightstand and donking her head on it, so I'd better go. Crazy kid!

The first post!

Well....it's official. I am now a blogger. This is fun, although I know until basketball is over, I won't be doing this on a regular basis.

Here goes:
Meghan is such a wild woman these days. She is into everything. She crawls everywhere and now pulls up to whatever she can get her hands on. If one of us is in the bathroom showering, we always get a visitor. She'll pull back the curtain and just give the biggest cheesiest grin. She is even becoming more brave and will attempt to move from one object to the next. She'll let go with both hands and sometimes make it and other times she won't . I'm afraid she is going to be a climber. She has already gotten herself up on the dishwasher door. One minute she's standing there like she does while I was emptying it and the next thing I know her entire body is up on the door. Oh my.....

She got to stay home with Mamaw and Papaw twice this week, because we had ball games and the kids at school are so sick, I didn't want her near that place or those sick kids. She just got over an ear infection, so another illness is not what I want. Those darn co-pays will break the bank! My parents took her out to dinner with them on Tuesday night and when we got home they told us just how much fun she had shredding napkins at dinner. Uh....well of course that's fun, but now when Mommy and Daddy won't let her have the napkins, what's she gonna do? I guess that's the fun of being a grandparent, huh?

She is just growing so quickly. I have truly enjoyed every minute (ok...maybe not the puking ;) of her life so far. I could never have imagined the kind of love you feel for your own child. It's just amazing! I thank God each day that she is mine!
