get together with friends

Justin and Michelle (and Owen) were kind enough to invite us over for dinner; along with Pat & Anne (and Ryan), and Jeff and Deana (and Ethan & Andrew).

Meredith did great! She was a tad skeptical but she didn't cry and even showed off how she can sit like a big girl. She made a few new boyfriends considering that no one I know has girls (except Shannon).

It's amazing and fun to see how fast all the other kids have grown.

Ethan just celebrated his 4th birthday.

Andrew is 13 months and is mobile. He was walking around like Frankenstein wobbling back and forth. It was very cute! Thanks to uncle Justin for his new nickname.

Ryan is almost a year old now and mobile.

Owen is about 16 months in this picture.

Could this picture be any cuter?!? Looks like Meredith and Andrew like each other!

Last but not least, I have to include a picture of my kid :-)

the next face of babytalk magazine?

This is the photo of Meredith that I entered in the Babytalk Magazine and Good Morning America contest. I love this picture because it shows so much personality and it's dang cute. I mean, they would be stupid not to pick her, right? After all, she is the cutest baby EVER.


I'm actually going to cheat and submit this picture under a different e-mail address. Shhhh...

What's wrong with this picture?!?

Uncle Scott decided to come down for a visit a couple weeks ago, and in honor of returning to my pre-pregnancy weight, I decided that a trip to CiCi's Pizza Buffet sounded like a great idea. Without me knowing, Greg snapped this lovely picture of me. He thinks it's pretty funny. Since I'm the subject matter, I don't find it quite as amusing. Seriously, I have three plates of food on my tray. And this was seconds. And I hadn't had dessert yet. Yikes.

Meredith sat on uncle Scott's lap and played on the computer for a little bit. She loves the keyboard. One day, she managed to put it on standby all by herself.

Last but not least, here's a family photo. Besides the fact that I look hawt, aren't we cute?

6 months old!

I can't believe the first six months have come and gone. It seems like just yesterday that she was this little six pounder. Now, she's an alert little person who can do all sorts of things. At six months, Meredith weighs 17 lbs. 13 oz. Happy half, Sweet Pea.

caught red handed

I only have to leave Meredith's door open a crack and Tabitha jumps at the chance to get near her. One morning I was getting ready for work and Meredith was playing in her crib and this is what I walked in on. Is it just me or do both subjects look guilty or something?!? I think there's a conspiracy going on.

who do i look like?

Do I look like my daddy?

Maybe just a little bit.
