Happy Halloween From Baby Shreki!

This tiny little ogre wishes you a
happy night with a few sweet treats!

Happy Fall Everyone!

Here we are, back in the blogging world again! For those of you who have been patiently nudging us to get some pictures posted, we thank you for your patience as we have been getting settled in. We have posted 4 blog entries today to make it up to you!

Megan had so much fun playing in the pile of leaves at Grandpa Les and Grandma Naomi's house. She loves pumpkins and will spot them in yards while we are driving or will point them out at the stores. She is very intrigued by the leaves and will spend lots of time studying them closely in her hands (and her mouth)! She picked up a special leaf just for you...happy fall!

That is some serious pumkin pride right there!

Discovery

Megan was giggling in her high chair this morning. When I turned around and looked at her, she was holding her two pointer fingers up (with great pride) in the air for me to see...she discovered how she could get Fruity Cheerios to stick to the ends of her fingers! She was so thrilled with her new trick that she kept on doing it so I was lucky to get a few pictures!

Megan's First Bike

Here is Megan, 14 months old, on her first bike. She loves scooting around the house discovering things as she goes. She has learned to maneuver around lots of toys and other obstacles quite well. She will steer that bike just where she needs it to go...she has a very strong determination to get where she wants to be!

I love you stinky face!

Megan learned how to close her eyes on command one day while eating an avocado for lunch! She was having so much fun practicing that she wouldn't stop...and after lunch she kept closing her eyes while she was walking around (not a good combo). This was also the day after she got her first haircut...which turned out to be a pretty bad straight-across-the-front bowl cut from Great Clips! We love you stinky-face-avocado-bowl cut!

Happy Birthday Miss Megan!

Our little girl is one year old today! She has had 2 chances to dive into birthday cupcakes and birthday cake so far, and she loved it. So far she thinks cake is a disgusting thing to put in your mouth and eat, but what a fabulous toy! Playing with the frosting and flipping the cake over is fantastic! Happy birthday Miss Megan, we all love you so much!

11 months old

Our baby is 11 months old! Yikes! What happens next month....uuuggghhh! I'm still calling her my baby...anyways, she's not officially a toddler until she "toddles" or walks, right? And she is not walking yet so therefore she is still my baby! Oh, I'm going to have to come up with a different excuse, but for now this will work. So, here is our silly 11 month old baby Megan. She is goofy as ever and loves to blow spit bubbles all over as she hums and plays with her toys. As you can see it is still a fun challenge to get her photo sitting still. She is trying hard to copy words we are saying...but so far we mostly giggle at what she comes up with. She distinctly calls Elli "Nonny" which sounds very cute and makes us all laugh. Jack the cat is "ck" or "ack", but usually she is so excited to see him it is one ear-piercing screech and then we laugh as the cat takes off running.
