Sippies, Cousins, Loving the Sun

Randomly....Meg has mastered the Sippy Cup. She wasn't quite sure about it for a while, but now she loves it. Sadly, she is getting more and more independent. I know that is a good thing, but it make me sad. She won't be a baby much longer. Yesterday I handed her a bottle in the car and she drank it by herself in her carseat. She handed me an empty bottle when we got to Target. I was so proud and so sad at the same time.

She loves to crawl around on her puffy chair and play with all of her little friends.



Almost two weeks ago, we went to Prosper to spend some time with Mallory, Brian and Audrey....Jacob was in Florida with his Grandparents.

Meg loves her cousin Audrey...almost as much as Audrey loves her!

It was so sweet of Audrey to share all of her girly toys, jewels and purses.

Audrey decided that she wanted to have a bow on top of her head like Meg and a "Pink" bib. These really are pink, but she calls everything pink. Here they are sharing a pretzel stick snack.
Here are just some cute pictures we took yesterday in the beautiful weather.

She really hates to wear these. She prefers to eat them. I did get a quick picture though.

Haute Cakes

If you are looking for a cake or cookies for an event....check out my friend Wendy's website. She is amazing! She does custom cakes, cookies, petitfors etc. for any occasion. She learned from her mom who is a Master Pastry Chef if New Orleans. I can't wait for her to make Meg's 1st cake, which you will see in two months! She can copy an invitation or come up with a creation to fit your event.

Mommy Time

I went to Atlanta last weekend for my Arbonne National Training Conference. It was Awesome, by the way. As much as I missed Meg (and Chad)....I kind of felt like I lost 50 lbs. I did not have to carry a diaper bag or keep up with someone else and all of her stuff. The greatest was traveling. The last three times I have flown, have been just me and Meg. I did not miss carrying her while folding up a stoller and trying to get all our stuff through security. Chad did a a great job as a full time Dad. He was so glad to have all of her attention. She is quite a momma's girl right now.

I had such a great time with my sister Mallory and Cousin-in-law Connie

Mal and me before the Grand Awards Ceremony.

After the Grand awards we had a private concert with Tim McGraw. Imagine what 15,000 women do when Tim McGraw comes out on stage.

I was very excited to get home to Meg. She looked older after just 4 days. This is the pretty much where she has been ever since I got home.....at my feet (wanting to be held). I think she thinks I might leave again. I love it!!

This is just a funny picture that shows her only two teeth. They are so cute.

FYI

Hi friends,
Sorry there are not pictures on this post. I know that is why you are here. I just wanted to put in a plug for http://www.youversion.com/. It is a great resource for those who are attached to their computer. You can read from any of like 12 translations of the bible online. You can follow a One Year Bible plan or do your own study. You can also journal and keep notes for your own reference. I used to have the same time everyday to sit down and have quiet time with my devotional bible. Meg doesn't allow me that luxury, but this has become a great resource for me.

On another random note. I am so sad that Steve Guttenburg got cut from DWTS. Not that he was good, but he is the sweetest person alive....such a good sport. Not to mention, that I was(am) a big Police Academy fan. Really, I didn't want anyone to leave. I love them all. We have not been regular viewers of any shows for a couple of years now...but we are hooked on this. Chad loves it! Shhhh.

Easter

Happy Easter!

Meg was so cute in her Easter dress. Unfortunately, it was a little chilly. We lost her hair bow somewhere between church and home, but this one looks cute too.

I love this new smile. She just started scrunching her nose when she smiles. It is especially funny, because it is all gums. She will be nine months on Thursday and she just had breakthrough on her two bottom teeth last week.



I am excited for next year when she will want to hunt for eggs and eat all the sweets that "Bunny" (my mom) gives her. I end up eating it all now. I am pretty sure that is my mom's intention.

Spring Photo Shoot

It was so beautiful outside this weekend, I could not help but get outside and take some pictures. Meg really enjoyed getting crawl around and get dirty. She did not like me fishing in her mouth for the pansies that she tried to eat.

Of course she is laughing with Daddy. Apparently He is the funniest of the two of us.

It's ok...most of the time she is a mommy's girl. He deserves some special time too.

These are just some random pictures I took playing in her room. Doesn't she look so cute sitting like a big girl in her little chair? This was right before she did a nose dive out of it.

And this is just before she did a somersault out of the puffy chair. The girl has no fear.

Cindy Lu Who

Meg's hair is long enough for a tiny little ponytail. It is so cute.

The funniest is when we take it out though. She looks like Cindy Lu Who from the Grinch that Stole Christmas.

I took out her ponytail last night and it still looked like this in the morning.

Her new trick is pulling up to standing. She does it all of the time. It is really fun and cute except when she is supposed to take a nap. We have not really mastered getting back down yet, so she gets really mad until she just falls down, or I come in and lay her back down.
