Winter 2008

Meredith's grandfather (Pop Pop Huff) had a seizure on Christmas Day at our house and shortly thereafter, fell and broke his hip so they stayed with us for a while while he recovered. He is doing much better now.

Meredith can undress herself and likes to walk around with no clothes on.
Here she is playing with her baby doll and stroller.



She likes to push her doll around in the stroller. Rosie doesn't know what to think about her sometimes.



No clothes on, but she went and got her winter hat and mittens from last year - they don't even fit that well anymore - and put them on.




At the end of January for Pop Pop's 60th birthday/retirement weekend, we went to the Grand Hotel in Point Clear for the weekend, which also happened to be during Mardi Gras time. Todd was hosting his fantasy football league for the weekend so he stayed at home.
This picture is of Meredith at the dog parade in Fairhope. It was her first Mardi Gras parade, and she really liked it.



A dachshund like Sunny! Except thinner and not blind.



The parade group was called the Mystic Mutts of Revelry



The Queen and King of the parade



Mardi Gras beads!



I don't remember what was happening here - just being silly



We went out to eat for Pop Pop's birthday at a nice seafood restaurant at the Grand Hotel.

We got upgraded to a really nice suite, and we had a great view from the balcony.



Again with no clothes, but she loves beads! This is also the last picture I took of her before her first haircut.



Meredith's first haircut. We were in Montgomery, and Annette did a great job, especially since Meredith is not that cooperative. You can see Meredith is helping her.






Great Aunt Martha sent Meredith a Valentine bear, and Meredith is giving it a kiss here.



Valentine's presents from Mommy and Daddy. She is pretty interested in the Backyardigans card.



Playing in the playroom on the slide/fort Nana and Pop Pop gave her for Christmas. Yes, it does go outside, but Meredith was sick right after Christmas and we didn't want her to have to go out in the cold to play with it so we kept it inside. We will move it when the weather is nicer.



She likes to slide.



In late February, Todd turned 36. We went out to eat with Mimi and Papa at Rousso's. Here Daddy is helping Meredith ride the horse at the restaurant.

The next week, Meredith was eating spaghetti. Yes, I take her clothes off when she insists on feeding herself certain foods - I have to be proactive. It got particularly messy this time.






Right before I left on my trip at the end of February, Great Aunt Martha came to see us and take us to lunch.





She gave Meredith some old reading glasses to play with.





Meredith thinks they are a lot of fun!
