Megan's 2 year portraits

Megan had fun posing for the "biggie camera".  Only because she watched big sister Elli pose for the big camera was she so eager to do it herself.  She still talks about the lady that took her pictures and the red dot on the floor and the biggie camera.

Megan's REAL birthday day...August 3, 2010


Since we celebrated Megan's birthday party a week early, we had to do something special for her "real" birthday.  So since it was such a hot and humid day and mommy is SO pregnant with little brother...we headed to the beach to do what Megan loves best...dig in the dirt and sand.  She had an absolutely fun time splashing and digging and hopping in the water.  Hopping with two feet together is a new skill Megan has been working on mastering...and she can do it now!  It seems as though she has been practicing for 6 months...and keeping us all rolling in laughter as she makes such heart-felt attempts.  But now she is 2 and she is an official hopper!  She has also learned 11 colors (white, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black and gray), a few shapes (circle, square, triangle, star, heart), she can count to 10 when SHE wants to (opposed to when you ask her to!) and she can identify all the alphabet but still will not name the letters, but rather if you say "Q is for____" she will say Quail, but if you ask her what letter you are holding....she will not tell you it is a Q!  She is having fun and learning at HER pace, which is truly her personality.  She is a happy little 2 year old who loves to explore....and figure things out on her own!  Happy Birthday Miss Megan!  We all love you sooooooooo much! 

Happy 2nd Birthday Miss Megan!


Megan had a great 2nd birthday party with some family and her dear friend Elmo!  We celebrated a week early so all of our local family could make it and so that Elli could be here before going back to Texas.  We ate tacos (decided by Megan) and ice cream cake and sang the Happy Birthday song and blew out candles and opened presents and played with toys and had lots of fun with family.  It was a great experience for us to finally get to be by family for Megan's birthday celebration (much different than Megan's first birthday in Alaska where she celebrated with the moose and bears)! 

Summer with Sissy 2010


Megan and Elli had fun spending time this summer together going to the park, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, the beach and just spending lots of lazy summer days together.  Megan also got to spend time with her Grandpa Roger & Grandma Sharon and cousin Matt (from Arizona) as well as her Grandma Nancy (from California).  Megan loves spending time outside and her favorite thing to do is play in the garden in our yard.  She is so excited for the vegetables to grow.  Meanwhile she just loves to dig in the dirt!  There are many 2-bath days!

The many funny faces of Megan!
