Christmas 4 and the SNOW

Sunday morning we waited and waited on the SNOW! It has snowed two years in a row! Both years of little Meggie's life! Last year she hated it! This year she loved it and ran around playing! Wish it would have stuck though :(

With the snow came her cousins Noah and Juliana and Aunt Wizzybef and Nana (Brian's Mom).  They came to celebrate Christmas with us :) We had a great time eating and opening presents! Megan recieved some crayons and coloring books which she loves to color!!! She also got the bed, some clothes, and the dresser for Cinderella! She loves her shoes so when Nana gave her some new shoes she was very happy and loves wearing them!



After opening presents we went outside and played in the snow with Noahs new soccer ball :) Then we came in and watched movies while me and Nana took down the Christmas tree since I would  be out of town for the next 3 days! I then got my things together and left to go to Savannah while Megan stayed and played with her cousins!!!

Christmas

Megan had a busy and wonderful Christmas!!! Christmas Eve we went to my Dad and Mom's and she had a blast! She was opening presents for everyone! She loved her Wocket, her nikes, tea sets, clothes, books, doll, and kitchen she got from her Aunts, Uncles, Great Grandmas, Cousins, and GiGi (My mom) and Pop Pop (My Dad) and her Aunt Tacy, Uncie Cott, Uncie Shane, and Aunt Kim!  She was so tired when we left she fell asleep pretty quickly after we left.  When we got home Brian and I helped Santa Clause get all of her stuff ready  and put together her kitchen so she could play when she woke up!


Christmas morning all you hear was oooooohhhhh and laughing! She picked up everything she got and showed it to mom and dad then went to town playing with her kitchen while I cooked breakfast. She played with Cinderella and her Micky's cooking them food and then played some more with her other toys :) She didn't want to eat or take a bath for playing with her new stuff!


Then we got dressed and headed to Grandma Marjorie! She was so excited that she didn't take a nap! Well, that showed when we got to grandma's she wasn't as big into presents as she was the night before but she loved her play food and clothes she received!



I now have a full size kiddy kitchen in the corner of my den where she spends most of her time! She has a better closet than I could ever dream of having! LOVES to read and has a ton of new books to bring to me to read though we never make it past about page 5!

Christmas Break

I have enjoyed being home with Megan this past few days!! My child is really hilarious! Yesterday she wanted to put on make up like mommy so she grabbed my mascara when I wasn't looking and gave herself a raccoon eye.  Yes I have pictures! But on my camera which I need to get put on my computer.  Today she told me that her Micky Mouse had a stinky and needed his diaper changed which went "Micky stinky; diaper." We are having the front and back door replaced today so she kept sneaking over to see what the guys were doing and would run back to me laughing :)

Her new favorite thing to do is color! She gets her crayons (which she snapped them all in half yesterday) and draws all over the computer paper while sitting at the kitchen table! This keeps her quite entertained :) Which has helped me while I've been baking cakes for the neighbors! I've come to the realization that she needs coloring books and big crayons that she can't break!

She has been a very well behaved and funny little girl while I have been finishing up last minute Christmas things!!!! I am so gonna miss her when I have to go back to work but Spring Break in April will be here before you know it then summer! Its crazy how fast this year has gone by!!!! Now to plan her 2nd birthday party! I can't believe she is already 2 my how your life goes by faster the older you get!!!

All ready for Christmas!

 Oh how I love this time oh year!!!! The house is all decorated and smelling good with the tree! Megan helped me make sugar cookies for her first Christmas party at school!  She has gone Christmas shopping with me and behaved really well! But, we have had one problem! Megan loves the cartoon Santa and the idea of Santa but a real Santa no way!!!! The first time we saw Santa she cried her and screamed! The only way she would sit on his lap was if I would.  The second time he came to her Christmas party and she cried and hung on to me that it felt like it would take a crow bar to remove her.  So, because of this we have no pictures of just her and Santa this year!

 I am too excited for the next few weeks!!! This week I get to stay home with my little one and just enjoy her :) Then Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the day after I can not wait to see her in action!  She helped "Aunt" Kim open hers and Uncle Shane's engagement presents last weekend and had a great time doing so!!

Megan has been talking so well lately!! She will repeat everything you say and mimic what you do! Which sometimes isn't so good hahaha! Her pop pop loves to tell her bye darlin and listening to her repeat it :)

She is getting to be quite the little helper with picking up her toys and putting them back, trying to help me with the laundry (which usually makes it worse but doesn't bother me one bit), and putting the trash in the trash can!  She loves apple juice, milk, water, tea, and Diet Coke (thanks to pop pop)! She will eat her veggies sometimes and some meat sometimes but she loves cheese and fruit!

I am loving watching her grow but wish I could slow her down...

Fall

We have been a very busy family lately! Work has had me going going going so I haven't been on the computer as much as I use to :( Brian had to go to Orlando for work for two weeks so I used some frequent flyer miles to go so him and take the opportunity to go to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot :) It was great to see everything all decorated for the fall!

Megan has been talking up a storm! She loves to repeat everything she hears which is good but now we have to watch what we say! She loves watching Carolina Football with mommy and daddy and shouts touchdown and football.  Also, yay and woo when they score.  Then wonders why mommy and daddy are yelling when things aren't going well!

We took Megan to the fair Saturday afternoon and she had a great time.  She had to see the animals twice! She wanted to ride the rides but their were only 2 rides she could ride (only 32" tall) and the lines were extremely long!

 
Trick or Treating is her new favorite :) It took her a couple of minutes but when she got into it she had a blast.  She had a little trouble saying trick or treat but no problem with Thank You and Bye Bye! It was too cute but sad because she is getting so big so fast!

FOOTBALL!!!

And so one of my favorite times of the year has begun in a great way :) The Gamecocks one their first game!!!  I had been planning on getting Megan her first cheerleading outfit but her GiGi and Aunt Stacy beat me too it :) She has learned to say Go Cocks and Cocky which is too cute! Now I need to get her a stuffed Cocky :) Lets hope we can do the same thing from last weekend again this weekend with Georgia!!!! Gotta love football :)

Her new favorite thing to do now is dance! Anytime music comes on tv, she gets in the car and the radio is playing she starts dancing :) She loves music! I've got to find her a dance class soon!!

School has started and so have my colds :( I've been sick all weekend which stinks because we had a lot of stuff planned!  But I did find Megan's Halloween costume or picked it out.  Ill go get it next week :) She is gonna be a lady bug this year! I can't wait!! We are actually gonna go trick or treating this year.  Last year she slept through most of me handing out candy! Until next time.....

Growing So Fast

Its hard to believe my child and how big she has gotten lately!  Its been awhile since my last post (Sorry Lori!!!)  Megan is a busy bee! She is walking everywhere crawling up the stairs, dancing when she hears music, and trying to climb up on all of the furniture :) Talking up a storm!!! She is in the repeat everything you say stage which is really cute but it only happens when she wants to do it! This child has determination and attitude and its gonna happen when she wants it to and no one else! Lord help me when she is a teenager!!!! She knows alot of words but would rather babble and babbles constantly! As soon as she turns this babbling into talking buddy I'm in forever! She will be talking forever.  Right now she is pretty good with all of the family memebers names unless they are long ones so they get nick names :) She is down to one nap a day but she makes it a good 2-3 hour one. 

We are DONE with bottles!! Have been for about a month but alas me and my non posting.  I decided when I was done with work we were gonna tackle the bottles and the pacis.  Bottles actually left right before school got out.  It was a rough few days but now the are gone which is great! Now on to the pacis.  This is gonna be a lot harder because she LOVES her pacis.  But, only when she is sleepy its not a all day everyday need a paci deal with her.

I am so glad its summer!!!! And i have a water bug!! She LOVES her pool!!! The girl will get in it fully cloathed she doesn't care :) She loves to sit in it and splash around, play on her slide, and have the waterhouse in her pool so she can play with it! Loves outside every morning when we go in the kitchen she heads straight for the door wanting to go outside and play :) 
I can't wait to see her at the beach in a couple of weeks :)  Until next time and I promise to try and not make it 3 more months!

My baby is ONE

Wow I can't believe a year has flown by already!!! Megan's birthday was last Thursday (2/11) and we had a pretty good day! Actually everything was great except that Megan got sick with a virus on her birthday :( But we had a family celebration that day with cake and all! Megan had a blast even though she didn't feel good!

Sunday we had her birthday blow out :) We had it at my parents house in Lone Star so that everyone could fit comfortably!!! Brian's family, my mom's family, stepmoms family, and dad's family! Talk about a pact house! It was great though!!! We had burgers, and baked beans, slaw, chips, and cake :)  Megan recieved alot of great gifts!!! She got a pool for the backyard, a slide, a four wheeler, a sandbox, some books, and TONS of really cute clothes!! She is all decked out for the spring and summer! I am so ready for it to warm up so she can wear her new clothes and play with her toys!  Her most favorite gifts were her red wagon and her rocking chair! She giggles, screams, and smiles when she is in them!!

I hope the next year of her life is as great as this year has been!!!

Changes...

Our little one is growing up sooo fast!!! She now has 7 teeth working on 8.  Also, she is walking WALKING! I can't believe she is already walking!!! It's so cute she looks like a little drunk wobbling everywhere! She is babbling all kinds of sounds and saying moma, daddy, baby all the time.  Her favorite word isnt actually a word, dagoon, she says it all the time bouncing up and down dagoon, dagoon, dagoon.  She now HATES baby food! Refuses to eat it! All she will eat is what we are eating.  We have started the transition to milk! Thank you lord no more formula after next week!  Megan has become a very determined child and accident prone like her mother.  She wants it her way when she wants it and thats final!  hahaha  The problem we are having now is sippy cups! We can not find one she likes or will use! All she will do is chew on the nipple of the sippy cup she will not hold it up.  Now she can hold her bottle but she sucks the air out until she gets the milk up to the top and does not want help! So we really need sippy cup suggestions!!! And the last part! My precious little baby will be ONE next Thursday! I can't believe its already been a year!! My how she has grown and my how much I am attached! I'd give her the world if I could!

Holiday Season

We had a great time this Christmas with this being Megans first Christmas! It was a busy one but she got a ton of great stuff!!

We took her to see Santa and boy that was an ordeal lets just say 3 different times trying to get in line and what turn out to be an all afternoon affair we finally got to see Santa! All Megan wanted to do was play with his coat and his beard and she actually got upset with use when we tried to get her to look at us and smile!


Christmas Eve we went to my parents as always and had a great time with everyone! Megan opened her first present with moma's help and had the official bow on head picture that everyone takes with their child and I must say she is too adorable! Megan recieved some clothes, toys, books, her first cabbage patch doll, and her first car from her Grandaddy and GiGi :) A pink cadillac/bicycle :) She loves it already even though she is a little too small for it!



Christmas day we waited and had Santa at my parents house that morning and Meggie loved everything that Santa brought her! She recieved some bath toys, big girl towels, big girl plates and eating utensils, a fuzzy blanket, and some more pacis :)

After breakfast we went to my grandmas and had a delicious lunch and opened presents with my dad's side of the family. Then we went to my other grandma's and had a great supper and opened presents with my mom's side of the family. There Megan was given a stroller from Santa aka Grandma LeLe which she has been pushing all around our den! She recieved some more toys, clothes, and lots of love!

We got up early the next morning and headed to Lexington to spend the day with Nana aka Brian's mom and Aunt Liz and her family! The kids had a blast!!! Noah loved playing with his trains! Megan got some really cool clothes and a Bunny from Nana! She loves her bunny and sleeps with it all the time! She also loves her farm from her aunt and uncle and I keep finding farm animals everywhere! (pics to come later)

While we were at Nana's Megan stood up for a few seconds and ever since it is her favorite thing to do now! She is all the time standing up and bouncing! She has taken one step 6 times now but falls over as soon as she does! I give her a few weeks and she is gonna be walking! :( This makes me sad because my little baby is changing to my little girl not baby very quickly!

For New Years Eve newly engaged Aunt Stacy and Uncle Scott came over! We had a great time watching football, playing wii, and waiting for the ball to drop! Megan was enjoying the excitement and did not want to go to sleep! In fact she made it all the way to 11:30 but couldn't stand it anymore! (forgot to use my camera)

My little one is a little more than a month from being a year old! I've already started planning her birthday party and can't wait to celebrate this great time with her :) Until next time....
