casual saturday

2007 11 24

here is a little peak at some saturday fun. we enjoy pierogies, potstickers, and eggs for breakfast lately. meredith is interested in feeding herself organic rice puffs.... although we have some cereal and bannana to also eat today. zoo zoo kitty is usually not too far out of the picture napping...... but today he seemed to get right up to the table!! he was pushing his luck because we don't allow kitty at the table......

the weather was so chilly today. our thanksgiving snow still stuck around. we got some precious smiles of meredith in her baby swing as daddy played peek-a-boo from around my shoulder. meredith likes to sit up in the swing now. zoo zoo watches us dote on meredith from his perch up on the chair. i think these kitty pictures show off his nice sparkly pink collar that meredith got for his birthday. we both think that boys look cute in pink toooooo

the self portraits of daddy and meredith are so cute. i love to upload pics like these because they are often a suprise for me to find on the camera!

what i can do

2007 11 23

today mom took photos of me doing some of the things that i can do. she started off taking 'happy' pictures of me in my baby carseat because we just upgraded to a big girl seat for me. i am so glad that mommy didn't take too long taking the carseat photos...... geesh, i would rather play with my toys!

i just got this musical band toy. i like to get the music going and sway back and forth to the jazzy sounds that it makes.

i like to read to mommy and daddy from my books. this ladybug book is pretty special. it has different textures for me.

happy thanksgiving

2007 11 22 thanksgiving

today we celebrated thanksgiving at our house with uncle mike and miss shannon. daddy grilled a turkey outdoors in the snow. that 10lb turkey was almost as big as me! i liked showing off my jumping skills on my jumperoo. i couldn't believe my eyes when daddy brought out the rocking zebra toy for me. it is really a big girl toy but i already know how fun it is!

there is so much to be thankful for. i am thankful to celebrate my first thanksgiving ever!

mcdonalds fun

2007 11 20 mcds fun

today we had a fun playdate with aunt kerry and cousin jake at mcdonalds. jake did lots of playing on the fun stuff there and meredith couldn't help but admire all of the cool stuff that he could do. boy is she going to have fun when they both can run around in the jungle gym together!

holiday shopping

2007 11 19 shopping

today we ventured off to do some holiday shopping and fun with friends from one of our mom's groups. we had some fun romping around the holiday north pole display. we went to the sommerset mall..... it is filled with fancy stores and fancy people. meredith wore her fancy pink fur boots and matchy pink fur vest. she fit right in!

we had fun with daddy when we got home. meredith loves greeting daddy right away after work and she loves to go right for his chest hairs. she is mesmerized by them. it was fun to try to capture that on film to share....... chest hairs beware!

the winter coat

2007 11 18 the winter coat

okay so i had no idea it would be difficult to pick out a winter coat...... that worked! i picked out the first one because it had a detachable hood (for carseat comfort) and its wonderful pink color combo and fluffy warmness. well i should have tried it on her at the store because i had no idea that it would prevent her from putting her arms down........

insert the cries from the classic christmas story movie "but i can't put my arms down"

so i searched a little on my current favorite store (ebay) and found this lovely pink wool coat that is warm and cozy...... but in a less fluffy sort of way. and it works! meredith is warm and she can put her hands down!
