Meredith's first snow!
It snowed today! Sadly it was only a quarter of an inch, but it was enough to qualify as the first official snow. Meredith must think we were crazy to do this.
Purple Zebra!
This set of pajamas is our favorite. Sadly, she may be too big for them the next time she wears them!
Visit from Grandpa and Grandma
Due to the wonderful city we know and love as Chicago, and the even more spectacular traffic in that particular city on Thanksgiving, Grandpa and Grandma Staub decided to celebrate with us a few weeks early. Here are some pictures from their visit.
Grandpa loves to read to Meredith.
Daddy and grandpa gave her a mohawk.
Grandpa and Grandma brought Meredith her "car". She loves it!
Meredith is telling Grandma a story...
They love to smile at each other!

Meredith is 6 months old now
Seems like she was just born. I think both Aaron and I would love to be able to live the last six months over again.
Meredith has a 6-month wellness appointment at the doctor on Friday. After that, we'll update you with her height and weight. Currently "Miss Meredith," as Jessie her babysitter calls her, can find her pacifier and put it in her mouth by herself, she can sit up really well, she can talk baby talk like Ma ma ma ma ma and Da da da da da and Ya ya ya ya and Bbbbbbboo, she can laugh hysterically if prompted too, she can hold her own bottle, she can eat rice cereal and some Gerber veggies, and she can lay on her tummy for about 10-15 minutes without crying (we've come a long way). Still no rolling or crawling or teeth. Most say she looks like her Mommy. Lately though, she's had big brown eyes.
Here's some pictures we've taken in the last few days:
One of our favorite students made this hat for Meredith!
I just about had to cut that red dress (from the previous blog post below) off of her because it was too tight. Can you see from this picture how her extra "armpit boobs" can get in the way?
She HATES laying on her stomach. It's a miracle if we can get her to lay there for 10 or 20 minutes. I had to capture this rare pleasant time on camera.

FASHION SHOW
Meredith has six dresses in her closet now. Four of them are either too big or are for Christmastime only. Daddy is gone all day today so Meredith and I went shopping for another dress that could fit her now. You know what happens when moms and daughters go shopping? They come home with more than they need; we got two! And they're not cheap! Thank goodness we found the other ones at rummage sales last month.
When we got home, neighbors Claudia and her daughter Mara (age 5) came over and helped us try to choose what dress to wear tonight. Aaron's fall music concert is at school tonight.
So out of the six dresses she has, I got four of them on her without her crying. As you can see by her mood in the last pic, our "photo shoot" had to end early.
