"Bubbly" Baths

Megan has now graduated to using the "big girl" tub with a little help from a bath seat! She already has a collection of bath toys and can splash them soooo effectively (it is a wet soppy mess, but fun!) For extra excitement, we sometimes take "bubbly baths" instead of plain old bubble baths!

4th of July Fun

Megan had a fun time on her first 4th of July! Her grandma and great-aunt came to stay, so Megan got to stay home most of the week! On the 4th, she played in the grass just as it started to sprinkle! The raindrops helped us catch some of her "more expressive" faces!

Our new "Centerpiece"

Houston Wedding

Next, we went down to cousin Kathlene's wedding in Houston and visited lots of the family! Megan decided that she wanted to learn how to be flower girl, so she spent some time taking lessons from her older cousin.

First Father's Day

Megan went to Corpus to celebrate Daddy's first Daddy's day! She got to visit her Nana & Papa, GG Lele, aunt, uncle and baby cousin.

She also visited her second aquarium in Corpus. Megan just loves the fishies!

Visiting Amarillo!

In June, Megan had a very busy month of travel! First, she went to Amarillo to visit her grandparents, aunt, cousins, and friends. Megan had a great time.

We are continuing to learn that she is a very social child and really loves to be around people.... Hmmmm, I wonder where she could have gotten that from?

In Amarillo, she got to go swimming for the first time, and absolutely loved it even though it was a bit chilly!

Photography Fun!

Megan is 5 months old here! Mom and Dad got some new camera toys, and spent the weekend trying them out on our favorite subject -- Megan Lauralee!



and even more cute baby photos! What a smile -- she already has us wrapped around her little finger!

Easter 2006

Megan got to meet her baby cousin Lauren at Easter!

Lauren is 3 months younger, which already makes Megan the "big cousin" -- so she is working hard at setting a good example

March 2006

Megan's first cereal

Off to school!



In my "Intelli-tainer" -- Thanks cousins!

Megan Smiles!

Megan "zonked out" in her mommy's lap, and lounging on her own in the recliner!




and Megan's first real SMILE!! (At least the first one caught on camera!)

December 2005

Our little girl was....well.....so little!

At the hospital

Megan stayed at the hospital in the room with Mommy and Daddy. She had neonatal jaundice (which basically means that her liver wasn't yet removing the broken down blood cells from her body) and had to have "light therapy" to help break down the bilirubin. We called her our "baby from outerspace" with all the glowing "kryptonite"

Introducing Megan Lauralee Homan

Megan Lauralee Homan was born at 4:57 AM on Friday November 25, 2005 and weighed in at 6 lb. 7 oz. She was 18" long. Not a bad size for a baby almost four weeks early!

She is named after her mother's maternal grandmother (Laura) and her father's paternal grandmother (Evalee)

She decided to begin her "meet and greet" journey after Thanksgiving dinner that Thursday night. Her mother, however, was lucky enough that the whole process took only about 5 hours (and that it began with a full stomach!) Unfortunately, those hours were from midnight to 5AM, so her parents (and her father especially) were quite exhausted on Megan's first day in the world.
