Pretty in . . . brown?!?

11 Months Old Today

Sure is pretty . . .

And smart. Man is she smart. I sure hope we can keep up.

Meredith is up to something . . . ALL THE TIME!

You can just tell she is planning her next scheme. How does she figure these things out? She is not even a year old.

Ahh . . . She loves Gators.

From Cruisin' to Cruise Control

A few small steps for Meredith . . . one giant panic attack for her parents! At ten and a half months, it is with great excitement (and some apprehension) that we present to you: MEREDITH'S FIRST STEPS!

Meredith's Stroll

Meredith and Tunnels.

Meredith has been a happy member of Gymboree since early June.

She is adventurous and exploratory - just like in her every day life. She goes for it and then deals with the consequences (Yes more white hairs are just popping up by the day!).

However, there is one thing that Meredith will not tackle and that is the tunnels - long, short, soft, hard, multi-colored or single colored - she will not willingly go in or through.

Thanks to Titi Zachi, she now has one at home to practice with. However, the best I have been able to coax her to do is go half way through - then she turns back to where she started and crawls around the tunnel to me.

However, this past Wednesday she did it. For the first time in Gymboree Meredith crawled through the longest tunnel all on her own. Go Meredith!

Broccoli ? ! ? ! ? How did that happen?

If I had not been in the delivery room . . . and well if Meredith did not look SO much like my baby pictures - I would be certain that our baby was really switched at birth. I mean broccoli?

Meredith eats broccoli faster than I eat Doritos or Ryan eats chocolate. How did this happen?

Isn't she great?
