Merry Xmas

Meredith doesn't totally get xmas yet, but she was sure happy to get the gifts. But even more to have the boxes they came in. Thank you to everyone who sent her something. She loved the puzzles and books from Aunt Alex and Uncle Caleb, which I let her open early and she continues to pull out and use.

Best Friends

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.

Meredith the Model

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.

Halloween

I waivered on getting Meredith a halloween costume. Not that I didn't think it would be the cutest thing ever, but she doesn't even walk yet. When I found this panda costume at a garage sale I snatched it up. Meredith barely fit in it, but she wore it willingly to my surprise, and she and I had a great time at Lara's that evening.

Sleeping

I had to take a picture of this. Aunt Allison used to sleep like this when she was little.

Pajamas

I have no idea who's pajamas these were-Caleb's maybe? Either way, it's cold enough out now that Meredith can wear them, but she may be the last to do so, they are wearing thin in the feet.

The Hat

Meredith haaaaaaates this hat-it's not as cute as I had hoped, but at least I got a nice picture out of it.
