Crying Santa Pic as Promised

As I mentioned in this post, here's the photo of Megan and Santa

Videos - including Megan walking!!!

Going down the slide at the park (ps that is some other baby crying in the background)

Walking!

Waving (with a couple steps too)

Megan's not a big Santa fan as it turns out...

Megan and I went to breakfast with Santa at Lifetime Fitness this morning. When Santa came in the room Megan gave him a big smile! He walked over to us and squatted down to say hi to Megan and she was clearly interested :-) When Santa went to go to his chair she started to follow him even. Then when it was time to take a picture on his lap she was still interested at first until she realized that she was going to be sitting on Santa's lap, then really fast she started crying, turning bright red and arching her back to get off! The staff got a quick pick before I scooped her up and tried to repair her relationship with Santa. We stood there a little bit with her in my arms to see if she'd like Santa better being held, no go. So hopefully come next year she'll forget all about this :-) I'll post the crying Santa pic next week when I pick it up at the gym.

Here's Megan when we got home from Breakfast with Santa in the yard. The last two days she's been very interested in the metal street light pole. Oh and that's her snuggly (the pink kitten blanket) that she now carries with her everywhere :-)



This is Megan last weekend on a chilly saturday morning. She kinds looks like a teletubby, hehe!


She's still working on walking, she's taking around 4 steps on her own to get to stuff several times a day but she's very cautious about it. When she's walking holding our hands she loves to go to a squat to pick something up on the floor and then insists on carrying it with her while we walk. It's very cute. This includes leaves and yesterday she even picked up the newspaper in it's bag and carried it around! She can also get from sitting to standing all on her own now! She goes from sitting into a squat and then stands up. We're still working on getting this all on video though....

Getting behind

Wow it's been awhile and I feel behind in blogging, Megan is doing so much new stuff lately it's hard to keep up!

Thanksgiving was GREAT! My parents came in and stayed with us until Tues. Russ's brother and our niece Veronica came in for Thanksgiving too, so we had a wonderful dinner at Russ's parents house. We went to the Zilker Botanical Gardens on Saturday to see the Dinoland exhibit which was really cool!

We took Megan to the park with my parents and had some fun swinging and sliding, and even climbing the rock wall!


It was a great visit and hard to say goodbye, but we'll be in NY for Christmas in just a couple weeks - yay!

Megan took her first steps over Thanksgiving weekend too! Just 2 steps a couple time but it was so exciting! Then last night she took 7! Eek! Megan was holding onto the coffee table, cruising and I had the digital camera trying to take a picture of her. Well she must have decided she really wanted that camera because she let go of the coffee table and took 7-8 steps to me to get it!


Megan added another word, kitty cat. Although it sounds more like kit cat :-) And here is a pic of her teeth

Megan is doing great with her finger foods! She tried mac n cheese and blueberry pancakes for the first time this weekend - both were big hits!

Hopefully we'll have a video with some steps soon!
