Megan's 9 month pictures

Yea! We have Megan's 9 month pictures from the photographer. Here they are.

First trip to the zoo

Last Thursday we took Megan to the zoo for the first time. Grandma and Grandpa Roessing came along and so did Megan's cousin Dylan. My friend Patricia and her baby Will also joined us for some fun. It was Will's first time at the zoo also. Everyone had a good time. It was such a beautiful day to spend at the zoo. I was amazed how many of the animals Megan actually enjoyed watching. We only took a few pictures (I guess we were too busy looking at all the animals), but here they are.

Video of Megan crawling

In the last week Megan has perfected crawling. Now it takes her no time at all to go from one end of the room to the other. She has even mastered crawling up entry way stairs. There is no stopping her now. This video was taken on 8/13. She had only been crawling for a few days at this point and was still a little slow. It is so cute to watch her.

Megan is 9 months old!

It's hard to believe that Megan is 9 months old. She has grown and changed so much just in the last month. She is now 17# 7 oz. and is 27.5 inches long. She has begun to crawl although she still prefers to scoot on her belly. Either way, she gets where she wants to go. She is also pulling herself up. She has one little tooth on the bottom that is trying to come in. We can't see it yet, but we can feel it. She enjoys playing, loves reading books, and is always squirming. Here are some recent pictures of her.

What a little angel sleeping. I guess she found a comfortable position.

Hey, this is better. Now lets go!

Even better! I'm ready for my first driving lesson.

Baby Birds

We were lucky enough to have a mommy bird build her nest in one of our hanging flower baskets. Every few days we would check on the eggs to see their progress....of course being very careful as to not disturb them. Robert got some great pictures of the baby birds growing up. I think there were 5 of them.

Trip to Powell

We took another trip up to Powell, Wyoming so we could see Robert's family. We took our time traveling and stopped and stayed in Thermopolis and Casper to break the drive up. Although Megan did wonderful traveling the 9 hour drive when she was 2 months old, we figured this time she has a lot more of a say so when she is sick of the car seat. It was so good to see Robert's family and Reba in Thermopolis and Jack and Char Price in Casper. Taelyne and her new baby, Calen, was in Billings visiting some friends, so she was able to come to Powell and see us too. Here are some pictures of our trip!

The trip started good. Megan taking a nice nap in her car seat.

Megan getting a diaper change in the front seat of the car (make shift changing table!) Robert and Megan thought it was funny as I was just trying to get the job done.

Megan decided we had been in the car for too long and that we needed to get out and spend some time in Wheatland. We decided to have lunch there and let Megan play for a while. She had a good time playing with her Dad's cell phone and hat. What a Daddy's girl!

6 month photographer pictures

Yes - more naked pictures....but isn't she cute!!

These are Megan's 6-month pictures. She has such a little personality these days! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

6 months old

Megan was 6 months old on May 4th. Wow time has gone by so fast. She is a healthy little girl now weighing 15 pounds. She is sitting up so well, but lucky for us, she isn't on the move yet. Yes, there are lots of pictures, but we just couldn't decide which ones were the cutest of her. We also got her 6 months pictures taken by the photographer, so we will be posting those when we get them.

My new sunglasses....don't I look cool!

I love playing in the grass.

I also love playing in my tub when I take a bath.

Swinging at the park. What fun!

Mommy and me cuddling.

I found my toes and they are fun to play with.

I look pretty cute with this bow in my hair.

Mmmm, I like this eating thing

For weeks now, Megan would watch every bite that me and Robert took. We would even see her open her mouth and chew like she was eating with us. So, last week we gave in and started her on some rice cereal. Here is a video of her first time eating and a couple pictures.
