6 Months and 2 1/2 Year Pictures

We went to get the girls' professional pictures taken again. The nice thing about having the girls 2 years apart is their picture milestones line-up nicely. I love the photographer we use and love to have these great keepsakes.

Exciting News!

Katie and Ben are having a baby!

They are due December 24th and we couldn't be happier. To top it all off they just put in a contract and had their offer accepted on a beautiful house in Grayslake! We are so excited to have Katie, Ben, and Baby B so close, and for all of our friends who are also due around Christmas. It seems to be a mini baby boom for us.

Our dear little Megan is now 6 months old, and I think as you can see from the pics above proving to be one of the smiliest babies ever. Meg or Meggie as we sometimes call her is generally very content, very smiley, very happy, and very joyful. She has a great squeal and is quite the babbler. For being the second sister she makes sure her presence is well known. Megan is a good sleeper and a great roller. She is pretty much mobile via consecutive rolls, and is quite cunning at scooting to her sister's toys. One of Megan's favorite toys at the moment are her own adorable toes and feet. Sitting is something we've just about mastered at 6 months, and I think crawling won't be far off. Kate LOVES Megan and asks to hold her on the couch every morning. Kate always says, "Come here, Come here little Megs. Come here for Kate." Kate kisses her, sometimes licks her, and declares, "Oh, so cute. Such a cute baby. She likes me!"

Megan has a great belly laugh and uses it all the time when she is playing with her sister. Megan's hair is getting a little lighter, but still has a brownish tint. Her eyes appear as though they are going to stay their gorgeous blue, and her rolls are just delicious. We've introduced solid foods and have found Meg to be a little discriminating in her tastes. The more flavorful, the better. She absolutely detested the plain rice cereal and much more prefers the oatmeal pear cinnamon blend. She is a smart cookie! I can't believe its been half of a year already, but its been quite the half of a year. We are so thankful for you little Megan, for the fact that you are such a good baby, and for all you bring to our family.

Pictures That Make Me Smile

There are way too many great pics of the girls for me to even keep up on blogging. We are too busy making wonderful memories to officially document them, but that is certainly a blessing. We are having tons of fun together and enjoying the beautiful weather. Kate is our adventurous, talkative, waterbug and Megan is a rolling, babbling, smiling sweetheart. I'm sure during our Midwest winter I'll be able to blog a little better, but the pictures can capture quite a bit.
