Megan took all of her toys out of her toybox and then decided she wanted in.

Megan thinks it's funny to wear her bathtoys on her head.

The Denver Stock Show

A couple weeks ago we were able to take Megan to the Denver Stock Show to see all the animals. She had a great time and we enjoyed watching her discover new things. Here are some pictures of the day.

Petting a little pig

She loved the bunnies. She would have like to pet them.

She also loved the geese - especially when they honked at her

She looks like such a little girl....not a baby anymore.

Her first pony ride. She didn't know what to think of it.

New Year's Eve

For New Year's Eve this year, we decided to go crazy and party. The party started at 4pm at my friends house in the playroom. Everybody played, then ate some food, then played some more. We stayed and partied until the wee hour of 8pm. Then it was time for everyone to head home and put the kids to bed. We did manage to get some group photos...which is saying a lot for having 6 babies in the picture!


The Daddy's

The Mommy's (mostly)

After Megan went to bed, Robert and I actually did stay up until midnight this year. We watched a movie, had some champagne, and watched the ball drop...both on TV and on the Wii game Animal Crossings. It was nice to ring in 2010 kissing Robert.

Christmas pictures...finaly

I know this is getting posted really late. Sorry for that. The good thing is that we have talked with most of you since Christmas, so I won't need to write much. Here it is: We had a wonderful Christmas staying home. Megan made out with lots of presents and figured out that pretty, new, neat things were under the wrapping paper. She would have preferred that no one used any tape on her packages though as it would have made unwrapping a lot easier.

Opening presents Christmas morning.

I had to post these two pictures just to compare last year and this year. What a change. She barely fit into her stocking this year, but she thought it was pretty funny that we tried.

Getting ready for Christmas

We are all so excited for Christmas here at the Norris house. OK, I have to give my wonderful husband all of the credit for getting us ready for Christmas. He spent two days out on the roof attaching Christmas lights. Thank goodness we had a couple days of warm weather. And doesn't our house look beautiful? He also took charge of the inside decorating the house and the tree. What would I do without him? Here are a few pictures I took of Megan in her Christmas dress. I had to put it on her to make sure it fit and she was so cute I couldn't resist snapping some pictures. Today we took her to see Santa in her pretty dress, but she was scared of Santa and started to cry. So, no Santa pictures this year.

Megan's First Airplane Ride

In November we took Megan to Powell to see her Grandma Shirley, Great Grandma and Great Grandpa. Robert talked me into flying, which probably was a good thing as a snow storm came through town the night before we were leaving. So, Megan had her first airplane ride. She did very well on the plane, taking a short nap and then playing and reading books. We had lots of room on the plane with empty seats beside us, which was very nice. Megan enjoyed looking out of the window and did her excited scream a few times.


We made it through security, now time to board the train to our terminal.

Our busy 1 year old

Megan is one happy little girl. She loves getting into things and exploring. It is so much fun to watch her.

Who needs toys when there are boxes to play with!

I hope she always enjoys saving this much!

Megan's 1st Birthday

Yes, I know it is hard to believe, but our little Megan turned 1 on Nov. 4th. I am both happy and sad to see her growing up. I know I will miss the helpless baby stage, but at the same time I love seeing her grow and become independent. She has become such a little person now. She loves reading books and choosing which book she wants to read. She loves playing ball and going new places to explore. Everyday she is becoming more and more of a Daddy's girl. Not only is she looking more and more like him, but it appears that she now has Daddy's taste buds as they like the same food; pickles, olives, salt and vinegar chips. The other day I put a chocolate chip (my favorite food!) in her mouth and she spit it out, then proceeded to eat a pickle with her Dad.

She is now 19 pounds and is 29 inches tall. She is crawling all over the place, pulling up, saying a few words (mom, dad, dog) and starting to walk. She has her two bottom front teeth and is working on getting her two front top teeth.

For her birthday we just had a small party at Grandma and Grandpa Roessings. She opened presents and did quite well at pulling the wrapping paper off the presents once Daddy got it started for her. She then had a cupcake which she thought was fun to smear all over the tray and squish in her hands, but she didn't have any interest in eating it. It was fun feeding it to Mommy though. Here are some pictures of her birthday.

She didn't much care for the chocolate

but it was fun to squish in the hands

.....and really fun to feed it to Mommy!
