Meredith could not ask for a better friend than Purl. Blue is too dignified for a baby, but Purl is more than willing to be climbed on, pulled on, fed from the hand and to eat off the floor.
I have been making a number of hats for xmas and Meredith is quite happy to model them for me. She reminds me of my sister Allison who also loved to have her picture taken as a kid. She hasn't started posing yet (unlike somepeople-Allison) but does smile when the camera comes out.
