9-Month Baby

Elizabeth Joy has 9 months!  She's a delight, y'all.  Nicest baby ever, right here in Austin, Texas.  She went for a 9-month well check a couple of days ago and was confirmed to be very well.  She's 27.5" long (very average), weighs 18lbs., 4 oz. (very average), and has a 45.6 head circumference (very huge). 


Just for reference points, Meg's 9 month stuff was here.  And Anna's was back here.

Anna and Ella are matchers

Ella's New Dress

Ella the Elephant likes pink.  And she likes zig-zag.  And she likes flowers.  So here's her elephant dress, pink with zig-zag and flowers.

Incidentally, Anna likes all the same things (pink and zig-zag and flowers and pink), and may turn up with a very similar dress here before long...

Charlie: Lost and Found

This is Charlie.  He's been Meg's cat for a long, long time.  As long as we can remember, really.   Meg really loves Charlie.

Charlie goes places with Meg all the time.  Charlie was lost -- dreadfully lost -- for a couple of weeks, and Meg thought Charlie wouldn't ever get home.  He hadn't been wearing his collar.  But then Charlie came back!  Meg is so glad to have her cat back, and Charlie has a new blue collar.

Pantry Art

Meg made this art on the pantry door -- isn't it great!? 

There's a flower, a smiley butterfly and the sun.

Soccer Meg

Meg's last game of the season was this morning -- she did great!
