Meg Walking!

So this video was taken January 18th.  Meg started to walk!  I can hardly believe it still.  The funniest part was just how small her little steps are!  She's a bit faster now, but it's taken her awhile to lengthen her stride!!

Meg Elizabeth Turns One!

 Happy Birthday to Meg!  I was talking to Todd a few weeks before the big day and mentioned that I wanted to do something special for Meg's Birthday, but couldn't think of a special theme.  Since she is girl #6, we've covered just about every pink party theme you can think of.  Todd came up with the Itsy Bitsy Spider.  Love it!  It's Meg's very favorite song right now!

 So, I made spider cup cakes.  I found this idea on someone's blog.  Soo cute!

Meg seemed to like them and all my other girls thought they were super awesome.

These next few pictures are just for bragging purposes...

 There's a few curls back there!

Check out the spider headband...

Meg didn't really like having a cupcake on fire sat in front of her!

 And she really didn't know what to do with it too.  But as soon as she tasted it, she was excited.

 It took her forever to eat her cupcake!  First she pinched off all of the icing and thought that was it.  Her sisters just laughed and laughed!  They showed her to eat the cake part too.  Meg actually liked the cake better than the frosting, but she also just pinched little pieces off! 

Yum, she doesn't eat cupcakes like that anymore.  She had a cupcake that next day and just shoveled it all in as fast as she could.  But it sure was funny for her birthday!

 Ooooh, yah!  It's present time!

 Her sisters were quick to show her how to play with her toys.

 And of course we ended the fun with a bath!

 Meg LOVES to stand on one foot!  So funny!

 Bath time's always more fun with a couple of sisters!

I can't believe our Little Meg is already one.  She is such a wonderful, happy part of our family!

11 months!

 Meg was 11 months on the 7th.  I can't believe she's only a month away from her first birthday.

 She is officially 'cruising' along the furniture now.  But she's not really standing on her own.  I'm really not pushing her to do anything at all.  It all comes too soon anyway!  Don't ya just love the warm up suit and sweat band!!?

 Her favorite song these days is the Itsy Bitsy Spider.  Every time I sing it she claps her hands and she's starting to 'wash the spider out'!

 She loves to play peek-a-boo now!

 PEEK-A

 BOO!

She thinks she's so funny and clever! Our baby's growing up!

10 months

The many faces of Meg at ten months old

Ta-dah!  Meg is crawling now!  I can't believe how fast she has grown up.

Back into the swing of things... for now

 Meg is now almost 10 months old (geeze, I can hardly believe it!) and Olivia, Emily, Audrey and Marcella have been in school for over a month.  After a crazy summer, I am finally starting to feel like some normalcy is coming back.  It's been long over due.  I don't think I've felt this way in over a year!  I guess that's normal with a move and baby #6 in a year, right?!

 I love these pictures of her!  I was dusting and vacuuming up a storm one day and just happened to notice Meg trying to touch the dust floating through the air in the sun!  It was too sweet not to snap a picture.

Two Months!

Look who's two months and smiling like it's going out of style!

I know this is a strange picture, but look!  You can see both of her dimples!

Meg has not been the easiest baby.  She fusses quite a bit and wants to be held almost all day long.  I don't usually mind, because she is our last baby and I'm really soaking it in, but my house is the worse for wear because of it.  She is out growing this slowly.  Just yesterday, I was in my bedroom folding laundry.  Meg was on the bed and I was talking to her as I folded.  I left the room to get another load out of the dryer, and while I was gone she started to cry!  As soon as I came back and started talking to her again she was happy and smiling once again.  Oh no, I'm in for a long journey with this baby girl!

Cutest girl ever!  Just wish I could get better lighting so that you all could see that her hair is Auburn.  If it stays, it'll be another color for our family!!
