Mondays with Meaghan

We got our full set of images this weekend from our family session with Meaghan D Photography.  Instead of posting all my favorites in one post (which would be about thirty pictures), I'm going to post a few each Monday morning for the next few weeks.  Here are some favorite black and white pettiskirt shots of the birthday girl.  Thanks again, Megs. We love the pictures!

Snow Day

There was a snowstorm in Austin today! Well, there were really just flurries, but it was totally worth bundling up the girls and taking pictures outside. I'm bummed that you can't actually see the snow in the shots we took. I felt like the flakes were much larger in the moment. Oh well, at least we got some cute pictures of the girls in their winter gear. What a wonderful way to start the holiday season!

It's hard to walk in layers of clothing.

Adorable and ready for the blizzard

Very fashionable in her leopard hat. Click on the picture to enlarge it and see the snow.

Flashback Friday

Just over a year ago.

Ruby's first cookie

Always a satisfying experience.

One year checkup

Ruby went to her one year doctor checkup today, so we have new stats to relay: 29.5 inches long (64%), 21 lb 7 oz (57%), and 48 cm head (98%). Clearly she got her dad's head. Ruby Hedmonson.

Here's a semi-random list of milestones/what she can do:

• Her list of words: daddy, momma, dog, no, GiGi, shoes, and hi. She also has words for baby (diddy) and milk (nana).
  
• She's able to run and dance, knows where her hair and toes are, and enjoys pretending to put hats and socks on.
  
• She can also follow simple commands like "please bring me a book" and "please take your paci out of your mouth." She still doesn't understand "please please please sleep!"
  
• She's also discovered what great jungle gyms mom and dad are and what great pillows the dogs are.
  
• She loves to brush her teeth and enjoys strolling around the house with the toothbrush in her mouth.
  
• And although the cold weather is preventing her from doing so right now, she really likes riding in her new wagon - a birthday present from Gramma and Grampa.
