Victory

Meggie just completed her last dose of antibiotics. Her response? "Victory is mine!"

Alpha Oops

Max and Meggie LOVE Alpha Oops and H is for Halloween. Since the Halloween book was destroyed in the flood, we got a new one for Meggie for her birthday. Here she is (in Max's old Thomas shirt and a ruffled denim skirt!) "reading" it to herself.

Let's Go, Hokies!

Sadly the sweatshirt (with the Hokie Princess shirt underneath) and the Hokie socks were not enough to help the Hokies win the Sugar Bowl.

Meggie and Earmuffs

I wasn't quick enough to get a photo of Meggie laughing with delight while wearing the earmuffs. But you can at least she the adorable overalls wtih the monkey. Her out of control hair. And her socks. She found the pink one with the brown toes. But we couldn't find the other one. And none of the other socks were ok. I managed to distract her enough that she somehow didn't figure out that the rainbow sock was NOT at all a match to the pink and brown sock. She's definitely got some ideas about how the world should work.

Track Suit!

Here's Meggie, in her beautiful track suit from Riley. We've been waiting about a year for her to grow into it. She loves that it has a hood and is soft!

Sleep is for losers

This is Meggie last night. At bedtime. When all I wanted to do was go to sleep. She, however, had other ideas. Like playing. Or anything other than going to bed.

Hokie Meggie!

Meggie wearing her Hokies Cheerleader outfit. Unfortunately she went to bed before the game and then Hokies then lost.

Future Hokie

Here's Margaret, age 20 months, wearing her Hokie shirt and working on the computer. :)

Basket of Meggie

This morning Meggie decided that this little basket was the perfect place to sit.

Big Girl Bed

Margaret has decided that naps should take place in Max's bed. And Max loves his Baby. So he sleeps on the floor at nap time so that she can sleep in his bed. At night he wants his bed and she goes into her crib. But today was the third day in a row that she ran to his bed and got in for nap time. She got out to read books, but then was right back in with a huge grin on her face!

Pretty Baby

I was wearing a necklace this morning. So Margaret needed to be "pretty" too. So I let her wear my "pearls" from Premier Design this morning. She was delighted. And then she was done and it was time to take off the necklace and eat cheerios. But she was so happy to be pretty that she actually stood still so I could take her picture!

Lucky 107 Baby!

Today at the grocery store NannyJo got the magical cart! Here's a cutie photo of Meggie and the lucky 107 tag on the cart! Meggie is also wearing her cupcake Hello Kitty shirt and the kimono I knitted for her out of the Cupcake colored yarn!

Pants are for losers

Every time I asked Meggie if she wanted pants, she said "No Thank You!" But when it was time to leave, she was all about a rain coat, zipped up, with the hood up! NannyJo took one look at her, put her hands on her hips and said "In my house we wear pants on Thursdays" so Meggie put her pants on!

Butterfly Girl

Meggie is chillin' like a villian at Harris Teeter with NannyJo. She's wearing her new butterfly pants. Yay! :)

Cozy Meggie

Meggie was all snuggly and warm at NannyJo's house!

Meggie in the green sweater

Today Margaret wore the green hooded sweater I made for Max. Meggie liked that it was soft and that it had a giant hood. And she thought she looked "Pretty!" while she was wearing it. I think she was right! :)

Organic Meggie

This morning Meggie was wearing one of the outfits her Granny gave Max. This is an organic cotton terry-cloth type outfit. Warm and snuggly. With a white ruffled shirt underneath! And she is wearing her Hello Kitty socks that she loves (to the point of talking to her Daddy on the phone about them). I caught her in the middle of strutting around showing off her socks and shoes. :)

Sleeping Beauty

She was so happy about her socks last night. The other side of her pajamas has a glow in the dark skeleton on it. :)

No better photo

I asked NannyJo to try to get a picture of Margaret in her outfit today, since it is one that Auntie and I picked out in England together. But Margaret has refused. Apparently she believes Joanna is trying to steal her soul... Not even Elmo can save her.

Two Elmos!

Yesterday Margaret got a little Elmo doll. So now in her mind she has two Elmos. She will not listen to other people telling her the blue one is Cookie Monster. She has TWO ELMOS! And she's delighted beyond words at this situation. This morning both of them had to eat breakfast wtih her and then ride in the car with her. Her little shorts also have a little Elmo and Cookie Monster picture on them, but she wasn't willing to pose for me in a way that would show that. I'm lucky she was distracted by TWO ELMOs and Cheerios for this picture!
