Pumpkin Patch Part I

Today was Meghan's first visit to a pumpkin patch. It was tons of fun. Meghan was all smiles, especially for the animals. She would just barely touch them and then jerk her hand back laughing, so cute.

Holding an itty bitty pumpkin. It took a couple tries for her to actually hold it and not drop it on the ground.
Amused by her pumpkin.

One of my favorite pictures from today.

Petting a Pony

It's been a while...

I know, it's been a long while since I have made a blog post. These last two weeks have been busy. Meghan was sick last week/weekend (read: Kevin got covered in puke). Then I had conferences which meant I was at school until 7:30 Tuesday and Thursday with a high fever too. Turns out I had strep throat, occupational hazard I suppose.

Saturday was a fairly nice day, cloudy but warm. Today on the other hand was rainy and cold. Meghan wore a sweatsuit for the first time in many months. I should have been writing lesson plans today like a good teacher but instead I decided to spend some time doing things I like to do. You know, the hobbies we often never have time for. For me those hobbies are cooking/baking, crafting, and taking and editing pictures.

I made chili this morning in the crock pot since it was a cold and wet day. While Meghan slept this afternoon I made her some hair bows. You can see the fruits of my labor below. Then I took some pictures of the cutie and enhanced them a little since it was a cloudy day. Finally I made white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. And of course I can't forget my favorite thing, playing with Meghan. She's so interactive now, I love it!

I think the hair bow turned out great. Next time I will make the base brown too, I just didn't have any small brown ribbon.

This is Meghan's favorite face. She always makes it when she's hamming it up.

The cat thought she was being smart and hiding from Meghan. Instead, Meghan had the cat boxed in.

Fun at the Fair!

We went to the Oklahoma State Fair today. It was fun but I was a little disappointed because Meghan wasn't tall enough to ride on the Merry Go Round. Seriously, who has a height requirement for a Merry Go Round??? We Still had fun though.

I love this picture. You can see her cute little bottom teeth.

Watching the miniature horses make ice cream. They were actually turning the ice cream maker, super cute, and Meghan was saying "Hi" to them and laughing.

Meghan was smaller than this prize watermelon. She thought this was hilarious and was kicking her legs and laughing.

Watching some sheep. She was completely uninterested, the people walking by were way more entertaining. That's because it was the Oklahoma Fair and the people sure do come out of the woodwork.

Walking, Sort Of...

10 Months Old!

Meghan is ten months old today. Wow, 10 months!!! Some new things this month: She has two teeth now and is working on four more (read: she isn't sleeping making one tired Mommy). Meghan can stand on her own, her record is about twenty seconds. She has started eating more table foods and really likes wheat bread. You have to be careful because she will steal any food you are eating. And she is still trying to eat the cat food.

Such pretty eyes (this picture is completely unedited, I really hope her eyes don't change color).

A grumpy teething baby watching football with Daddy while Mommy went to get a massage (thank you Kevin!).

Standing on her own, so exciting!!!

And wearing big girl footie jammies.

It Finally Happened...

She has a tooth!!!!!

One of our last toothless smiles.

This was this morning before I went to work. You could feel the tooth but it hadn't broken the skin yet.

And this was this afternoon. If you click on the picture you can see the little tooth poking through.

I can't believe she finally has a tooth. My little baby is growing up. =(

A Priceless Expression

This picture is from a couple weeks ago but I have been meaning to post it. The quality of the picture isn't that great as I was trying to snap it before Meghan realized I was watching her. Such a cute face, she knew she was busted. She is contstantly opening that drawer to get the Playstation controller out, we finally had to put an ottoman in front of the drawers.
