Happy Hunting

Megan's favorite food, as you can see, is raspberries. She goes for them with a gusto. She likes them so much that she saves some for later. She even throws a fit when I try to clean her up.

Happy Thanksgiving.

For Thanksgiving, we went to the ward house and had dinner. Megan was all over the place. It was so hard to keep her out of traffic. She stole this phone from a 18 month old. He took it back, and she then crawled over and took it from him again. He was so confused. If you look carefully, her hair has a single ponytail with a green barrette.
Megan is trying so hard to stand and walk. When we lie on the floor, she comes crawling up and wants to climb on you. She can cruise along this way and can balance with one hand. This girl never stops.

Yesterday we had a good time. We went to a state park. We saw a covered bridge next to a waterfall. We went walking along the stream for a ways. Megan loved the running water. There was a nice pond with several geese. It was foggy and pretty. We love Connecticut. We are looking forward to going to the submarine museum nearby.

Fun at Yale

This basket is her favorite toy ever. I can't keep her away from it. She brakes pieces off and tries to eat them. Kisses. Kisses
Go Yale. We went to the Yale-Harvard game. It was so cold. And Yale lost badly.

Tagged by Marcy!

Since I was tagged by Marcy, I thought that I would sit down and do it while I can think of things. For those of y0u that don't know, once you are tagged, you have to list 6 habits/traits and then tag 6 more people.
1. I have a rotation schedule for everything! My sheets, my dishcloths, everything I can. If one of them gets out of order, it feels a little funny. I don't even have the pregnancy excuse. I hope I don't sound tooooo crazy.
2. I also love to check everyone's blog. I try to keep myself to two or three times a day. I fuss to Russ when someone hasn't updated theirs for awhile, like a week. Come on people! The really funny thing is Russ will suggest that I update our blog with something, and I usually don't. My goal is to get everyone I know to start a blog.
3. I love to read cookbooks. I usually never use them to cook. I keep telling Russ that I will when I have more time. He asks me when I think that I will have enough time when are family is bigger. It is starting to kind of get out of hand.
4. We have a mouse in our kitchen. I absolutely hate to go in there. I make Russ check our stove before I cook, and I turn on the light and bang on the refrigerator and make as much noise as possible as I am walking in there. We set up a mouse trap and when I woke up at 5:00 am it took me forever to get back to sleep because I thought I could hear the mouse rustling around in there.
5. I have rigid food rules. It drives Russ crazy.
6. I love Maury Povitch's Paternity Revealed Shows. They are on at 9 and 10 in the morning. There is something about them that is just so compelling. "The Drama, The Excitement, Come to the Maury Show" It is taped in New York and Russ has offered to go down there for a show one time while we are here.

Ok, let's see I tag: Rebecca, Alysha, Casey, Laura, Melissa, and Emily.

Fun at the Peabody Museum

A Woolly Mammoth
Russ's caveman brow fits in so nicely with the Neanderthal Man's. Megan joins the herd.
"The dingo ate my baby."
This turtle is huge!!!!

We also saw some other dinosaurs, including the only "real brontosaurus" skeleton in the world, a T-Rex head, and others. It was very cool. They also had a fly-fishing exhibit, so you know we spent time there!

6 months old!!

Megan finally had her six month appointment today. She missed her fourth, so it was very good to get back on schedule. She is at the 50th% for both her weight and height. She had to get shots today, and the man who did them took forever. I wanted to kick him out of the way so I could do it myself. But we made it through and she is now playing happily by my feet. She was been helping me baby proof the apartment today. It consists of her crawling around, me noticing what she had her eye on, and putting it out of reach. It was a good system. I also removed the last 0-3 months clothes that were still in her dresser (even though she could still fit in them (sigh)) and put in the next batch of clothes. So, we are basically doing great!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
