Megan: "Hmmm... there's something familiar about these photos..."
This morning Megan woke up with a funny look on her face, not the usual morning smile for daddy. What was she doing? Then she gave me her 'poo face'. Aha! What a nice way to say good morning to daddy!
Recent accomplishments/milestones
Shop til you burp. Megan's first visit to the Eaton Centre happened on July 21st. Fortunately she behaved herself and didn't put us over our limit. Accompanying us were a couple of khaltos, Sandy and Kristy, and the Fonsecas, Deyves, Jen, and Luiza.Let the solids begin!. Megan tried cereal for the first time on August 1. Momma tried five spoonsful of cereal, but all Megan did was suck on the spoon and cry in frustration over the strange silver nipple. Since then she's changed her technique. Now she tries to stick out her tongue once the spoon goes in, so you can imagine what happens to the cereal on the spoon... it's a work in progress.
Nutrition Technology. On August 4 Megan sat in her high chair for the first time. It's quite a piece of engineering; modular food tray, chrome structure, alloy wheels, driver-side airbags, and it plays MP3's in 6.1 surround. As you will see from the slideshow pics, Megan definitely needs to grow into it!
Sprouting. Megan had a doctor's appointment on July 31. Verdict: healthy, happy, 26 inches long and 15 pounds!
Bounce like you mean it!. The biggest highlight has probably been the jolly jumper. Megan has been enjoying bouncing like mad for weeks now. At first she couldn't control her spin, so she was bewildered that we kept slipping past her range of vision. Now she's a pro, controlling orientation and bounce speed.
Walks in the park. I almost forgot the mention that Megan's truly loving her outdoor walks, particularly the trees--she loves watching trees! Prediction: our daughter will become an arborist. She also enjoys the Baby Bjorn we strap her into for these walks. There are pics of this device in the slideshow.
