Playing at the Playground

Meghan and I went to the little neighborhood playground to get some fresh air. (This was also the morning that Meghan woke up at 6:30AM and was ready to start her day. Unfortunately I was not.) I didn't realize until after I had taken a few pictures that my camera lens was completely fogged up. Oh well. I got a couple cute ones anyways. She had fun going down the slide. And she liked the swing- as long as she could swing by herself. I had her on my lap but she wanted nothing of it. She wanted to sit in it like a big girl. (The video is pretty short because I was afraid she was going to fall off the swing when I was recording.)

In The Driver's Seat

Meghan decided she likes sitting in the front seat better than her carseat. Maybe that's how the A/C broke in Kevin's Jeep (twice). Here she's caught driving without a seat belt. Busted!

Speaking of Meghan's carseat. She really enjoys sitting forward so she can see the world. When the in-laws were visiting we had to transfer the seat from car to car. I brought it into the foyer when they were packing up to head home and Meghan thought it was the neatest thing just sitting in her carseat in the house.

Hilton Head Island

Kevin's dad and stepmom drove down from Chicago last week to bring Michelle everything that wouldn't fit in her car. (Michelle's 4 door was packed to the max as she drove from Chicago to South Carolina with clothes and teaching materials.) We helped Michelle get her classroom ready and still managed to squeeze in some time at the beach.



Meghan absolutely loves the beach. This was the 2nd time in 2 weeks that we went to Hilton Head. She cannot get enough of the water. She loves it! Of course I'm a bad mom and didn't put enough suncreeen on her face. The sides of her nose and under both eyes got a little sunburned. It made her look like she had bags under her eyes for about 3 days. Poor thing.

Backyard Fun

I bought Meghan a water toy that is essentially a soaker hose, only more fun for kids. It took Meghan a few minutes to figure out that she was supposed to play in the water and not just run away from it.

Here is a video from my brother's house last week. Meghan decided that she was jealous of her cousin Maddie. Meghan got mad when Cindy was holding Maddie. Meghan also pulled on Maddie's shirt when Maddie was playing with a toy that she wanted. And she's only 13 months!

Here's a picture of Meghan with her cousins. My sister-in-law Danielle is due with Baby #3 next month (September).
