My little redhead is now 7 years old! She's growing up! We are celebrating her birthday up here in Snowbird, UT. We are having a blast. More to come on the vacation, but today is Megan's day. What a sweet girl she can be. :) She is great at giving hugs and kisses (although not always at the most convenient times--like during family prayer) and snuggle and read books. She's a very girly-girl. You will almost always see her in a skirt and she also loves shoes (she spent all her money at Christmas on shoes and I spent mine on books--haha!). She loves her friends and is always drawing and coloring pictures of them. She is very much in love with her baby sister, Brooke and always tries to make her smile and laugh. Megan is also very good at causing trouble with Kate. :) Her favorite colors are pink and purple and her favorite animal is a lamb. NaNa gave her a lamb from Build-a-Bear for her birthday that has a birthday song in the hand and she has hardly let it go since she opened it. She's sitting her snuggling with it right now. Too sweet.
She came into the world very quickly. My first contractions I felt woke me up around 1:30 in the morning. By 3:30 they were getting worse and we decided to head to the hospital. We took Brandon and Kate to a friends' house (we'd just moved to Indiana so we'd known them for all of 3 months) and headed to the hospital. We got there around 5:30 if I remember correctly. The doctor was on her way. I was almost complete by the time we got there and when the doctor finally got there Megan came very quickly and was born just before 6 am. We later found out that the doctor had gotten pulled over by a police officer and she told him she HAD to get to the hospital NOW to deliver a baby. He followed her to the hospital and waited for her outside. Jerk...I don't think he gave her a ticket, though. Megan weighed in at 6 lbs. 7 oz. and was so tiny!
Megan hasn't exactly been the easiest child to raise so far, but we sure do love her and can't imagine our family without her!
She was very excited to start opening her gifts, can you tell?
