Master Climber

It only took one day and she was scaling the stairs like she had been doing it for years. This was her second time up (for video sake) so she took a few breaks.

From Goat to Beaver

One tooth.

Two tooth.

Lots of marks on the coffee table.

It must be genetic--there are teeth marks on the Midkiff household 35 year old coffee table too.

Glad we got this table for free!

What did I do?

I'm too cute to do anything wrong.

Pooltime in January

MLK weekend was spent at our Trendwest Indio resort--to celebrate Mike's 35th(!) birthday. Plenty of warm weather so we were able to introduce Megan to the pool again. She wasn't sure at first, but by the second day was practically doing laps in the big pool.
We hit Disneyland on our way back home and again no picture with Mickey. One of these days we'll get that picture.

Now we're moving!

And she's off! Megan figured out how to move her hands last week and has gotten faster each day this week.

She already made it to the step and almost got herself all the way up...didn't htink she would do that so quickly.

In addition to her new found mobility, Megan got her first tooth the week before Christmas, has learned to point (and does it a lot), is trying to roll off her changing table, and is pulling herself to a standing position.

...And Christmas continues.

Hey Brian-we haven't changed too much.

Christmas afternoon was spent at the Midkiff house--presents and dinner. I think there's a theme here. Food and gifts. We did throw in a game of Tripoloy. Can't have a get-together without some card playing.







Peek-a-boo












"My very own ruby slippers."












Showing Great Grandma her new toys. It didn't take her long to figure out how to get the balls down the tree. She's a pro now.










At the Brady gathering on the next Saturday.

Santa's smallest elf.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Megan's first Chrsitmas was eventful, even though she didn't really know what was going on.
Megan and Cousin Olivia are all ready for the winter weather.








Megan is opening her first Christmas gifts a few weeks before Christmas--she loves this Puppy that talks and sings (thanks Chris and Jen!). She'll give it hugs and puts its whole nose in her mouth.








We spent a quiet Christmas Eve opening presents at home after going to Church. Megan never figured out how to tear the paper-she was good at pulling out tissue paper though. We got her some books, toys, and her very own Elmo remote (so she doesn't chew on ours).







She's reading her new "Bob the Reindeer" book.












Christmas morning was spent at the Ulibarri house opening presents and having breakfast.

"I'm drowning in presents," Megan exclaims.

We left with some more clothes, shoes, push toys, and dolls.
