Sunday Sunday SUNDAY!!!

Nothing is really going on..... OTHER THAN THE BABY'S COMING TO CHRIST, Aug 3rd, LIVE ON PAY-PER-VIEW!!!

See MEGAN take on THE CHRISTENING WATER in historic DOWNTOWN ALBEMARLE. Watch as she wears her ONE TIME CHRISTENING DRESS. See it as she has a MELTDOWN infront of the ENTIRE CONGREGATION!!!

BE THERE!

Church:
First Lutheran Church of Albemarle
230 South Second Street
Albemarle, North Carolina 28001

Built in 1908, First Lutheran was the first church in Albemarle to be constructed of brick. While the 1930 Christian Education Building [right] was torn down and replaced by a more modern structure in 1975, the sanctuary remains as an excellent example of Gothic Revival architecture.

House on the Greenway!

Today, we went and visited Uncle Kevin. He has a house now, so we checked it out. It is pretty dope. The baby thought it was dope as well. Everyone agreed the house was dope.While we were there, we also checked out the Greenway. As you can guess, that was mad dope. Mad fly dope.

Above is Luna checking out the dope deck. You can definitely tell from the tail that she finds it radical.

Below, you can see how dope the Living room is. It is so dope, Megan and Luna decided to have a tête-à-tête about the severe dopicity of the room. Aw yea.

Yea, there is a reason why I am generally not allowed to update this blog.

Return of the Raspberry

About 3 weeks ago, Megan started blowing raspberries. For almost 2 day straight, she blew raspberries at everything. Then, the raspberries went away. Mommy and Daddy were sad because we thought the raspberries were just the cutest thing Megan has done. Then all of a sudden, Megan brought the raspberries back. And they are back in full force!! Watch the video to hear Megan's happy raspberries.

Bookworm Baby

Megan loves her books! She reaches out to feel the pages and likes the books with different textures. She even likes to help Mommy turn the pages when we read!

Look What Megan Found!

Mom's newest baby e-newsletter said that "by now your baby has gone from being a passive observer of the world to being - or at least wanting to be - an active participant." Truer words were never emailed! Megan is getting into everything! She's reaching for anything she can get a hold of, grabbing Mom's hair, pulling Mom's glasses off of her face, reaching for toys and books; and everything goes straight into her mouth. Megan even found her feet!! I don't know who gets more excited about these new discoveries and developments -- Mom & Dad or Megan!

Bumper Baby

Lately, Megan has become a very wiggly sleeper. She can flip around 180 degrees in the crib in just a few minutes, and she often hits the sides of the crib. Tuesday night, Mommy got up to check on Megan since she's been tossing around in the crib a lot, and found Megan with her arm stuck through the slats on the crib. (She sleeps with her arms out but her hands up next to her head, and had actually wrapped her arm completely around a slat so that her elbow was pinned between the slat and the wall.) Thankfully Megan was sleeping soundly, because Mom had to twist her arm a bit to get it unstuck and move her back to the center of the crib. Mom was very relieved that Megan didn't hurt herself.

So yesterday, Megan and Mommy trekked to Babies R Us for a crib bumper. We decided to get one of the breathable mesh kinds that are supposed to be safer than the traditional poofy bumpers. We installed in when we got home and Megan tried it out last night. She moved around and kicked at the bumper, but her arms and legs stayed inside the crib, and Mom didn't have to untangle her in the middle of the night.

Happy Daddy Day!

Daddy celebrated his first Father's Day last weekend! (Sorry, Daddy, that Mom's just now getting around to this post.)

He got to spend a nice day with Megan, who was in a good mood. We had a special breakfast, watched Groundhog Day, and Daddy opened his presents. He got some nice cards, a shirt, some shoes, and racing gloves.

But most importantly, we had a lot of quality family time =).
