Why won't she sleep?

Meghan has been a pain lately when it comes to sleeping. She refuses to nap at a reasonable time and sleep through the night. Her naps consist of 15 minutes in the car or 30 minutes late in the afternoon when she shouldn't be sleeping. At night its even worse. Going to sleep is a battle and she wakes up every two hours or so screaming throughout the night. Meghan knows not to get out of bed during naptime or during the night so sometimes she'll play on her bed then fall back asleep as you can see above. This better be a phase.

We try to wear Meghan out by doing many activities throughout the week. The best activity right now is swimming because it is so hot here in Texas. Meghan is becoming a good little swimmer and is not afraid of the water at all. She really likes to splash with her daddy.

Summer Treats

Tonight Meghan got to eat a Popsicle as a treat. She really wanted the purple one. They are the real fruit bars so the stains are next to impossible to get out. Before she started her Popsicle I showed her how to lean over and eat it so it wouldn't get all over her. Her response was "I take off my clothes". That was just not a battle worth fighting. So she ate her Popsicle without clothes on.When she finished she was rather annoyed at the mess she had created on herself. Of course before helping her wash off I took a few pictures.


The little ham had to pose for the camera. It was a good thing it was 100 degrees today. We used the hose to wash her off before she went inside.

Catching Up

Playing a little catch-up from the last few weeks...

Last night we went to Purple Cow for dinner where Meghan played on the splash pad.

Meghan had her first experience with painting. I chose water colors because I thought they would be easier to clean up. She loved them but had some trouble understanding that you have to wash the brush after each color. She was getting frustrated towards the end when all the colors were army green. She loved it though and continues to beg for more painting.

Meghan's Grandma got to come visit for a week. We had tons of fun. Meghan most enjoyed making necklaces and bracelets.

Sunbathing in the backyard with a friend. Meghan seems to have missed the memo that you need to be in the sun to sunbathe.
