Family Pictures 2012

We went and had our family pictures taken today and Meladee decided to show off my standing on her own while a few pictures where taken today.  It was fun and they turned out great.

Santa 2012

It is that time again for Santa pictures and once again Meladee did what Meladee does best and was great and loved Santa and he even let her play with his beard. 

Meladee is 15 months

Miss Meladee is 15 months old and here is her picture.  She is growing up so fast and has changed since her year old pictures.

Meladee is catching up!!

As of this last weekend Meladee is now crawling, I mean the real crawling.  Tonight she crawled from the living room to the bathroom for her bath.  She also now waves and says "bye" when someone waves. This has been going on for about a week and she is also pulling her self up to everything.  Her PT will be shocked to see her do this in two weeks when she comes back.  I see more of what she does since I am at work all day.  So proud of my baby girl!

It has come to my attention that......

Many people are still asking me why Meladee doesn't crawel, why she doesn't walk already or why this or that.  It seems I need to remind some people that Meladee did have open heart surgery 6 months ago and that she had 6 to 8 weeks where she couldn't be on her stomach and we had to limit her in what she could do.  And because of this she has had to build her trunk muscles back up.  She is now army craweling and trying to sit up on her own and will take steps if we hold her hands.  But Meladee is Meladee and she is doing things that some babies don't do at her again such as being completely off a bottle and not using a binky, and feeding herself and not drinking formula, so all I am asking is to just remember she has a little challange where other babies don't and please don't judge her.

And here they are......

And now I get to decide which one I want to print in a 20x30 picture!

Meladee is ONE!!

After what has been an amazing year for Meladee she is now 1!!  Hard to believe that it has been a year since she was born.  Let alone it has been 5 months since she had Open Heart Surgery.  As of August 3rd, 2012 she is now 18lbs 10 ozs and 30 inches long.  Dr. Likes, Meladee's cardiologist says that Meladee plays by her own set of rules and not the medical set of rules. 

My mom and I took Meladee to have professional outdoor pictures of her down.  I am including 3 sneek peeks of those in this blog.  I get the rest in a little over a week and a half.  We had some other pictures done as well.

Here a few that I had done at Picture People, being that I have 30 pictures to chose from I am only going to put a few on here.
