Every day with Meg is a joy to behold. I hate to wax rhapsodic, but I can't help it when I talk about this wonderful girl. Every day I watch her do something different, and can see her file her new skills away in her head for future use. Today, for instance, she figured out how to pick up a ball using only one hand. She rolled it up her arm until it rested in the crook of her elbow. When it worked the first time she dropped it, and did it three more times. I clapped every time, not only to encourage her, but because it was the best show of the day.
Last night at dinner Ryan was saying how he can't wait until Me starts to talk, and walk. While I look forward to those events, I can definitely wait -- and not just because our house is a child proofing nightmare. I just want to savor every moment while Meg is still a baby. Every moment that she can be swept up and cuddled, and thrown into the air with ease. Every moment when I see wonder in her eyes at the smallest thing. Every moment that her smile cuts through my cynicism and sarcasm and makes me write posts like this.
Oh, how I love our girl.

You're totally right to treasure it. She'll be 18 before you know it.
Babyproofing will make you a basket case and you will suddenly develop new and bizarre phobias, like fear of escalators chewing off your toddler's flesh to the knees. Good luck!
Her exersaucer has cat legs!
Babyproofing? Crap, I knew there was something I forgot to do when my first son was born. Oh, well. Too late now! And they're both alive, can you believe it? Enjoy those cheeks, they look yummy.
Meg is so freaking cute! She's going to have a head of hair on her! I love it. You are so right to treasure every moment. Especially before they learn to sass, and "Duh" you, all the time.
Oh the Bouncy thing!!!! My sister LOVED that thing.... Have fun with that babyproofing!!
This is my favorite baby age. They still sleep alot but they're learning to do fun things...
But they can't walk yet and they don't really throw fits.
How gorgeous is she!!
And they grow so fast.
She gets even more gorgeous as the months go by. Don't you love the constant smiles?
Enjoy Libby!
Well that was just beautiful! And so is she!
How did THAT happen?
