My sister is on a commercial!

Click on the link below and you can see the commercial that Elli is on in Texas. It's a public service announcement from the Texas Dept. of Agriculture. You can see her in the commercial 3 times (she's holding a milk bottle and wearing the purple Lady Lizzards jersey, then she's on the left side of the classroom in a cream colored sweater, and then at the end standing next to the man talking.

7 month photo shoot....part 1

I just had to document for you what it is like getting a monthly photo of Megan. It never fails, I always end up going with the very first photo I take. You would think I'd learn my lesson, but I just can't resist taking a series of photos because I think you can see her personality come out as you look through them. She is definitely an intense baby...everything she does is intense, no matter what her mood. She is mostly silly and happy...thank God! Here you go...ten photos to help you know her personality! The first one is of course the first one on the camera and her official 7 month photo. Then she gets silly and gives me eyes shut with a smirk, INTENSELY eating the bear rattle (see her hand), staring out the window trying to remove her jacket, and intensely shaking the sillies out of her bear. She is a goofy girl!

7 month photo shoot....part 2

Taking a break and lounging...all this smiling is hard work!

Oh those little feet always win her attention over mommy's camera.

Silly girl decided to take charge and wanted to do some horizontal photos!

Now she has decided to eat the backdrop...see, I should just stick with the first photo!

Clearly, when she looks like she is sticking her tongue out and waving goodbye to me, that is my indicator to end the photo shoot, laughing as I turn off my camera. :)

Megan loves her friends!

Jessica and Jason came to visit us from Minnesota and Megan loved them all up! The only people she has met so far are Elli, Grandpa Les and Grandma Naomi, so she loved spending time meeting new people. We took a road trip up to Denali to see Mt. McKinley and stayed in a bed and breakfast one night. Megan did great and she loved the stuffed moose in our room! Jessica and Megan were surfing the channels with their TV remotes together (at the bed and breakfast). Megan can't wait to meet everyone else! She has lots of giggles and kisses to share!

Megan's False Teeth!

Looks like she finally got her two bottom teeth in, but NOPE! Just a spit bubble! She's still a toothless babe at 6 months.

My feet are so neat!!!

Double-click on the pictures to check out the funny faces she makes when she examines her feet!

6 months old

Megan turned 6 months old yesterday on February 3rd. Out of the blue she surprised us and learned how to sit while playing with her toys. She has started eating baby rice cereal (what a mess!), and she has discovered that sleeping is much more comfy with her back side up! She is definitely a fun little baby!
