Backpack poses


Sear's catalog eat your heart out.


She actually was not as easy to capture in pose as this post would suggest. She was a girl on the go with her backpack.


She looked so grown up. It is not even a real backpack, it's better, it's a cooler pack. Perfect for lunches for a toddler on the move.


Silly girl.

Mama look-a-like


I couldn't resist posting this picture. It reminds me of one of me when I was little. Nice touch with the dress-shirt and pants! Classic.

Mama and Daddy hit the big 3-0!


Dressed in Thirties' era duds for our Great Depression shindig, you know, because we turned 30... Too many "30" references for you to handle?

Getting into science and signing

Within the span of a week Meggie went to the New England Aquarium and the Museum of Science. She definitely had an affinity for the live animals at the aquarium (fish, penguins, turtles and jellyfish, to name the favs) over the poster-board science displays. But she also really enjoyed running around the MOS. It is such a big place that she was able to see dinosaur bones, a live owl, and an electricity exhibit all before nap time. She is signing so much now.


In developmental news, she can sign most of the things that pique her interest as of late: bird, fish, turtle, cooking, light, car, airplane, play, bath, bear, cat, baby, down, clean-up, all done, eat, milk, daddy, book, bug (that one is still a bit rough around the edges), cheese, cookie, apple, shoes, diaper, tree, lovey (sign for blanket), please, wait, night-night, cracker, music, hat, key... just to name a few!!! (Well, to be honest, to name most!) She can also say the words for most of the aforementioned signs. In summary, she is a delight and so fun to be around. We are very proud parents!

Happiness is...

... a sippy cup in hand and watching the snow fall with your best friend.



Buds.

Stick a fork in it


Meg now requires an eating utensil of some kind at almost every meal. Against all odds, she somehow gets a lot of food into her mouth.


Happy eater! (Note: here she is a eating a cut up burrito and she used to do the sign for bird for burritos because she thought they sounded the same.)
