Crazy Family Picture

So when you have a Three month old and Two dogs you want to take a picture of How does it turn out? Well I am sure you can see for your self.

Staring Meredith As

a reindeer! Hi everybody! I bet you missed me. I have been a busy little girl lately. I have started sleeping for naps without my Mama having to hold me and I have started to coo and sing for Daddy and Mama. Daddy has been getting more and more Meredith time time too. He is perfecting ways to make me smile. I has also started to chew on my toys. I really like to chew on Clipity Clops' hoof the best. I still do not make it through meals with out Mama or Daddy holding me though. Maybe that will be my next trick. I really like the outfit because it makes me nice and warm. Don't tell Daddy but I am like Mama and get cold easily.

Mama's Favorite Christmas Shot

We will be taking family Christmas pictures soon and you will see Meredith dressed as another Christmas favorite but for now it has been to warm to dress her in that outfit (tomorrow maybe when the temp drops). As of right now my favorite christmas photo is the one pictured here. I like this one because I have a cute daughter and this picture captures just how cute she is. Her chubbiness just captivates me because she was such a tiny baby. She is tiny NO MORE! today I did an unofficial weigh in and she tops the scales at 14 lbs! She is starting to realize where she is and what is around her. Meredith interacts with me all the time now. We have "conversations" many times a day and most of them do not involve screaming from Meredith anymore! Another exciting thing is that she has started to accept Timothy as her Daddy. Before she would SCREAM anytime Timothy would hold her but now she is spending more and more time with him with out fussing. I am sure this makes daddy daughter time on Sunday nights much easier!

Reminiscing about days gone by

Mollie and I yesterday were looking through the many pictures we have of Meredith. It's only been three months and it's amazing as to how much she has grown. If you don't believe me, click on the More Pictures of Meredith or Baptism Pictures links over on the right side of the page.

The picture I've included is one where we had forgotten how much smaller Meredith really was when she was born. Then we were reminded again how big she really is -- when we tried to pick her up in her car seat. She's gotten huge! :)

Inquisitive Tummy Time

I don't really know what "inquisitive" means, but my Daddy says that's what I look like in this picture. I just really wanted to know why Mommy felt it was necessary to take off my clothes and dress me up in this Santa hat while playing tummy time.

Who's Santa anyway? And why would he need to wear a hat -- it seems like it's plenty warm enough outside?

Meredith's First Hike!

Mollie, Mererdith, Guinevere, Gilligan, and I went for a short hike just over a week ago. It was Meredith's first hike, and I have to say she hiked like a champ ... a champ who sleeps while hiking, anyway.

She was all cozy in the sling with Mollie that she fell asleep. It was okay, because it was also the first hike Mollie and I have been on since Meredith was born. It felt good to get back outside again.

I've posted a couple of pictures from the hike just to prove that Meredith went -- and slept!

The Rocker

These past few morning Meredith and i have been sleeping in until about 9 am. After that she lets me put her down while i eat and then again while i shower. I have put the rocker in the bathroom while i take my shower so i can hear her playing and make she she is not upset. She is thrilled to play with her farm friends. She has not laughed or squealed at them but will pump her legs and arms at them. She is starting to figure out that if she hits the animals they will make noise. when pumping her legs and arms she makes the rocker rock. I tried to get a picture of her smiling in the rocker but could not but you can see her happy!

A Day With Grandma Kat

Today I was a good Girl for my Grandma Kat. We did lots of fun things like sleep...no i am kidding although i did do that rather well today! We picked Grandma up and then came home so I could eat and take a nap then we went out to eat and went to see this nice lady who took lots of pictures of me. I have to say that they came out nice! We ever got to take one of the three generations! I like that one the best. Mom and Grandma each liked other ones though. Grandma lived up to being a grandma and bought me this really cute reindeer outfit. You will have to wait till Christmas cards are sent out to see that one unless I can convince mom that you need to see it now. I am sure I can twist her arm into taking a good picture of me in it and we can post it here. Maybe we can wait until after thanksgiving. Mama always says that we should give thanksgiving the respect it deserves instead of forgetting that it is even a holiday. Woah how did we get so off subject? oh yeah I was telling you about my reindeer outfit. All I can say is that it is super cute and you will see a picture soon. Thank you Grandma Kat for spending the day with me.

More Halloween Pictures

I have to admit that i cheated on the Halloween pictures. I took the last one posted a few days before Halloween. I took a few more on Halloween but did not get around to posting them until now. We should have taken one when we went "trick or treating" Meredith did not make it until 6 pm and fell asleep before we even left but we went around to our neighborhood friends anyways.
