Happy 1st Birthday Meigan!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Meigan! You are an absolute joy to have in our family and we cannot remember life without you here. You bring so much fun, laughter and life to our family. We hope you have a wonderful day!

We had her family party this past weekend when relatives were in town. We opened presents, had a pull string pinata, and plenty of cake and ice-cream. Meigan did not like cake and I did not include her picture showing the response. She did tolerate the chocolate ice-cream. Tolerate, not necessarily like. Tonight we will go out for Chinese food and hopefully find something for her to enjoy.

Successful Steamed Eggs!

We finally got a good recipe and the right steaming pot and successfully made steamed eggs like the ones Meigan ate in China. She loved them! She is really good at trying the foods we offer, at least one bite. But, I am sure glad to add one more dish that I know she enjoys!

For all those still waiting......one of the things I wish I had asked for, was her favorite recipes.

Meigan is Walking!!!!

Last night Meigan took her first few steps all by herself! She would start with Dad and then walk towards Jodie. It was only about 3 steps but she did it several times. She will stand up by herself in the middle of the room for a few seconds and she walks holding onto people or furniture for some time now. She is getting so strong and almost chubby now (good american food).



Also a few days ago Jodie noticed that Meigan's diaper was still dry in the afternoon, so she sat her on the potty and she went! We were very surprised and maybe we'll have to keep it up, and have her potty trained by the time she is one. On the other hand that sounds like a lot of work as she can't walk real well and can't talk either to let us know when it's time. Well it sounded nice!
