Riding Her "BIG GIRL" Bike

riding her bike, originally uploaded by homanhouse.

She has gotten good now! She can pedal, steer, brake quite well, and turn. Although by the time I got the camera she had gotten tired, (and knew I had the camera) so she just got off instead. But WOW has she grown in the last month or so! a few inches makes a lot of difference in all of this!

Rollie Pollies!

So if there is soemthing Megan loves, it is bugs. Ladybugs, snails, rollie pollies. Well that is at least the list of bugs she is allowed to play with. She spends hours with her friends outside looking for bugs.... Here, she brought one to show me.

Zoo day!

Today, the weather was just beautiful and so Megan and her Daddy had a zoo day. I woke up with terrible allergies (Gee -- it was 75°F on Friday, 35°F on Sat, and back at 72°F today, so my head can't keep up!) so I didn't join them. They had a nice Daddy daughter day though, with the zoo, lunch at Pappa's burgers, and then playing outside while Mama took a 3-hr nap! So I had a great day! (Thanks Chris!) Most of the photos are from the bird area...

And here she visits with the kangaroo's little Joey...

Pretty Shoes

The other morning, Megan dug out my black heels, and came clicking into the kitchen to show me that she was wearing "Mama's pretty shoes!" She is growing so fast!

More fun in Houston!

Cousin Megan and Lauren - Checking out their Crawfish

Cousin Megan and Lauren - Checking out their Crawfish, originally uploaded by Erica Seigneur.

Ok, I stole this photo from Erica. But I have been so bad about blogging lately (really mostly about taking pictures) that I had to take the opportunity.

This photo is of Megan and Lauren at Megan's cousins birthday party. Lauren turned 3 and Lily turned one, and the girls had a blast helping with the crawfish boil!

We had a lot of fun, and Megan has missed cousin Lauren terribly since then....

Happy birthday cousins!

Computer Whiz

We finally finished setting up Megan's "new" computer. It is our old one, with her keyboard and mouse. Chris set up a nice station for her in the living room with her little table. She absolutely loves it. More importantly, she can walk over there, turn on the monitor, start a program or game, and play the basic toddler game all by herself! She can click on things now and use the mouse as well as the keyboard basics. She also will go find a movie she wants, and go an put it into the DVD player in the computer. I am pretty impressed. I am, of course, her momma. But still.......

A day at the Dallas World Aquarium

We had a fun visit to the Dallas World Aquarium. Megan went with her friends Ella and Brenna (and Chris and I got to see Scott and Jana too!)










At the end, in the tunnel under the shark pond (where there are lots and lots of sharks) there was this one shark that wasn't swimming like the rest. He was just lo9unging on top of the tunnel glass and laid there the whole time. He was either lazy, or very cunning and plotting how to eat us all. I am not sure....

Back to biking

It's a BIG Donut

That was really the whole response that I got to my lemon pound cake.... But it was yummy!
