Uh Oh

Meredith's new favorite word is "uh oh". She has been able to say it for a while now but just recently seemed to decide it was a fun word to say. She says it very dramatically and like "uh oooooh", and she makes the cutest face when she does it, as you can see.

Blue Baby

Meredith loves her Blue Baby, and only Blue Baby. I bought him around her birthday because I had some store credit I needed to use, but for xmas I got her a Baby Stella and thought she would love it because it has a pacifier and clothes to change, but no. Baby Stella is not allowed near Blue Baby and if Meredith finds them together she trows Stella away and picks up Blue Baby. It's quite funny until you, or I rather, realize I wasted money on Stella. I'm hoping she'll come aroudn though.

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.
