Pushing Up, Sitting, and Giggling!

Meredith is getting more active every day. She is always learning new tricks. Hopefully her older brothers will be good teachers. =) Meredith watches them all the time and absolutely loves Cameron. She giggles at him all the time. Meredith is pushing up really well and starting to sit better. It's amazing how quickly babies learn to do all these things. By this time next year, she'll be running and not a baby anymore!

Bike Riding

So we attempted to teach the boys how to ride bikes. Attempt was the key word. The boys got frustrated so easily because they weren't able to pedal very easily. We might need to loosen the chains some. They were just happy to be outside and preferred being pushed anyway. That was the problem, neither dad or mom wanted to push them. Hopefully next time will go better!

3 Months Down!!

Time is flying by! Yippee, is what Dan would say! I'm really trying to enjoy every moment because I know this is our last baby and you don't know what tomorrow will bring. Meredith is getting so big. I don't know the exact number, but it's HEAVY! I'm getting pretty strong from carrying her around. She is pushing up really well now. She loves watching her brothers and is starting to play with her doll now, by playing I mean eating. She is not as fussy as she used to be unless you put her in her carseat and she is smiling a lot. She's starting to reach for me when she wants me and that just makes my heart melt. Meredith got her hair trimmed a little to get rid of some of her random long hairs. She has been really healthy and we are blessed to have two older boys that love their little sister so much!

Labor Day Weekend in Tulsa

For Labor Day weekend, Dan took the Friday off and we drove up to Tulsa to see his grandparents. His grandparents are in his 90s and we wanted to make sure they got to see Meredith. The trip up was difficult and we were all happy to get out of the car. When we got there we went to eat with the family and then enjoyed a beautiful evening at Betty and Bruce's house. The boys loved staying there because of their playset in the backyard. On Saturday, the Birdsongs, Roberts and us went to the children's museum. It was at least called that, but it was more like a playhouse. There was pretend post office, grocery store, cafe, doctor's office, and barbershop. The boys had so much fun exploring. Hudson's favorite place was the grocery store. I think Cameron's was the post office; he still takes my empty envelopes and pretends he's a postmaster. On Saturday night, we grilled and played more outside. The weather the whole weekend was perfect. On Sunday we went to church and spent the day with family. On Monday on our way out of town, we went over to great grandmom and great granddad's house. We were able to get a few more pics of the kids with them. It's amazing to think about a 90+ year old holding a newborn. What a wondrous sight!

** Should have the album uploaded tonight of more pics!

Girls Weekend

The weekend before Labor Day, Meredith and I went on her first plane ride. We flew to Houston to attend a dear friend's funeral. Meredith did great on the plane ride while the boys were doing great at home with their daddy. The boys got to have donuts, eat out, go to toys r us, and rent movies. While they were busy, we had fun at Aunt Jenna and Uncle Jacob's new house. We also got to see Jenny, Josh, and Emma and go to Freebirds with them! YUMMY!! On Sunday we went to Southside to see all of friends. I dearly miss the wonderful church there. We came back home Sunday night to 3 smiling faces. It was so fun to have a break for a day from all 3 kids, but it sure was wonderful getting to have them run up to you so excited to see you when you get back! I sure love my kiddos!

Nana and Papa are here!

Nana and Papa came in town since Papa had to work the week in Dallas. Everyday we'd go to the hotel to pick Nana up. Most mornings we'd go early so we could eat breakfast too. The boys loved the donuts and muffins. Nana helped us run errands, clean and get organized. On Friday we swam at the hotel with the boys. They had so much fun! Meredith just watched since we weren't sure about the water. On Saturday we all went to eat at the hotel and then over to Bass Pro Shop. We had never been there so the boys had a lot of fun exploring and seeing all the animals.

Swimming at Grammy's

The weekend before Grammy's birthday Aunt Betty came in town so we all went to Grammy and Papa's to celebrate and swim. The boys were very excited to show off their moves from swim lessons and Meredith was excited to show off her bathing suit. We all got in the pool, even Meredith and had a lot of fun playing and splashing. The boys loves sailing in their pirate ships. After swimming we go to enjoy some burgers and birthday cake. The boys were more than happy to help Grammy blow out her candles.
