Pulling up

Megan has been trying to pull up on things for a while now, but today she pulled up on her crib all on her own and stood there very proud of herself :-) It was so cute! Here's a video of it:

Sweet Potatoes and Laundry Baskets

Megan had homemade sweet potatoe puree tonight and seemed to really like it! Yay! The first food she had was brown rice cereal - which wasn't really a hit, and we followed that with bananas - which were ok, but the sweet potatoes went over much better! She likes to feed herself as in the pic, we put the food on the spoon and hand it to her.


Tonight we went to Gramby and GrandDaddy's (also known as Russ's parents) for dinner and Megan rode in her laundry basket wagon that Gramby made her!


And here's a video of her in her "wagon"

Here's Megan banging on a pot!

That is until she realised it was more fun to eat the spoon!

Laughing in NY

My Mom just me a video of Megan laughing in the car during our trip to NY and it is too cute! She's been laughing since a little before 4 months but this is the first time we got it on video!

Happy 6 months Megan!

Half a cake for a half birthday!

Megan turned 6 months on Friday! She got her first taste of solid food Friday night - organic brown rice cereal. I made the rice cereal, which was easier than I thought and kind of fun! I used the brown rice recipe found here http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/cereals.htm

More food ends up on Megan than in her but we're all having fun with it!

Oh and Megan weighed in at 15lbs 4oz and is 25 1/2"

Trip to NY, Meeting Cousin Cameron and Megan's Baptism

Last week we took a GREAT trip to NY to visit my family and meet our new nephew Cameron. We were also very fortunate to be able to have Megan's baptism at my parent's church with lots of family! Our flights out went pretty well, although I don't think some of the passengers appreciated Megan's screeching too much!

On our first full day we had a lot of fun at the Saratoga Race Track.

On Friday we went over to Amy and Vic's for lunch and to hang out. That night Russ and I went out to Saratogra Performing Arts Center (SPAC) to see the Police! Grandma and Grandpa watched Megan. We had a great time - along with 40,000 other people!

Satuday was Megan's baptism! She was soooo good! She stared intently at Father Kelly, loved the water and didn't fuss at all! She really enjoyed the party that followed and was up "partying" way past her bedtime! :-)

Boss Family at Megan's Baptism

Yummm Cake!
