MEGAN'S CRAWLING!!

Yes that's right, Megan has finally started crawling. She hit her 6 month mark on Sunday, and on Wednesday she was crawling. Our days of leaving her alone for just a few seconds are over. She has also turned into a real Mama girl, especially when she is tired. We will have to start childproofing the house when we get back. (Sorry for the bad quality, we will make a better one once we get back).

This is baby Megan in her high chair. We got it for free from some people in the complex that were moving. It came right in time. She likes to sit in the chair and play with her spoon. She loves to watch mama work in the kitchen.

We all had a great time yesterday. We went to visit my professor's farm in Woodbridge. It was great! though not really a farm per se. The only thing he grows is grass, but he has chickens and horses. It is beautiful. He has over 100 acres and his property is surrounded by water company land, so it is just forest. It is kind of what you would expect a New England farm to look like. A little pond, a bunch of green pastures surrounded by stone walls, rolling hills, and lots of beautiful trees. We walked around with Megan, who was more interested in the grass and her socks than anything else. We could see Long Island (New York) from the top of a hill. We saw a bunch of wild turkeys and four white-tailed deer as well. As we enjoyed the view, Megan lost her sock. We had wandered quite a bit, and finding her sock was a long shot. So, we just looked a little on our way back and found it. She was pretty happy.

Finally!

After several days of trying to get a picture of her doing this, I finally did. I am not sure what she thinks she can accomplish by doing this, but it is so cute. She can't sustain the pose for too long, which is one of the reasons that it took me so long to get the picture. She is now the accomplished scooter. She can get pretty much anywhere she wants, it just might take her 20 minutes to do it. For example, I placed her on a blanket in the middle of the rug. About 10 minutes later she had worked herself over here, moving probably five feet in the process. You also get a chance to see her in her footie jammers. Russ gets so excited when he sees her in them. She is doing so well, and is such a joy!

Baby Megan gets up

This video is from Sept. 14. She has only gotten better. It's only a matter of time before she is crawling! We're not sure if we're more afraid or more excited about that. Rebecca, Happy Birthday! To mommy, too.
