Thanks to everyone who commented on Angela's photo. I am only alloted to submit one photo to the contest, however, anyone who chooses to submit a photo may do so. I entered Angela into the contest using Photo number 3. I would be more than happy if you would like to submit one of your own photos of Angela or use one of the ones that I thought would be good.
If you would like to submit your own photo just log onto regisandkelly.go.com and click on the Beautiful Baby Contest. I would also like to ask that on March 2 or 3rd I don't remember which, that you log on to the website and vote for Angela's photo. Thank you all so much in advance and don't worry about trying to remember which day, I can reassure you that I will let you know.
And as a side note, I took Angela to her first day at Daycare today. It was very hard for me as I have spent the last six months with her every day, all day. I am at school this semester and I have a feeling that it will be the hardest semester so far, not in terms of classes and difficult, but in the fact that I cry every time I leave my little girl. I hope it gets better soon. Class is starting here in a few minutes so I must leave you. Good Day.

Beautiful Baby Contest
So every year "Live with Regis and Kelly" does a beautiful baby contest where the winner receives a $125,000 college scholarship, a photo session with Parenting magazine to be on the cover and lots of other goodies. I decided that I'm going to work my ass off to get Angela a college education that she does not have to pay for ('cause paying student loans off is killing me right now!!). So I am going to enter her into this contest every year until she wins!! The picture that is submitted must be taken within the past 30 days. We took a few pictures in the past month of our precious Angela and I would love feedback from all. We have to have the picture submitted by February first so if you would leave me feeback on here or send me an e-mail at wold.megan@gmail.com that would be great. Just let me know which picture you think would be the best to sumbit! And beware that I am also going to ask that you vote for Angela if it comes down to America's vote. Thanks a bunch to everyone!

Christmas Time!!
It seems as thought the holiday season comes and goes so quickly for me. I want so badly for it to stay and last forever. I had a Christmas card written out and was in the process of printing them out so that I could sent them off when we ran out of ink. Since the ink is pretty expensive, I decided we would do a new years card instead. That should get to you all by Valentines...I hope.
Angela had her 6 month doctors visit today along with shots. She handled her shots very well, only crying for a few seconds afterwords. The doctor commented on how tall she was and how "advanced" she was in her motor skills. It is amazing how comments like that can make me beam with pride. I think it is because it makes me feel as if I am doing my job well. I suppose I should get on to what you all came here for. So here they are, the pictures of Angela and others from Christmas...oh! Thank you Uncle God and Mom for our Christmas presents this year! It is because of you that we are able to share the beauty of the season(and our daughter) with everyone!

Sand Man
Six weeks ago if you asked me how I thought motherhood would be, I would not expect to say that it would be a roller coaster. My heart grows every day with the love that I have for her and then there are times that I am so frustrated with her fussiness that I want to just throw in the towel and give her back. It only takes a few minutes until I regain composure and I'm totally enthralled with her again.
I think the main reason that I get frustrated is because at six weeks old, she is struggling to sleep on her back. And I can't say that I am not at fault because I know that when late night feedings come around and I am falling asleep, as soon as she is ready to go back to sleep I lay her on my chest, kick back and we're both off into la-la land. However, I think I may have found the culprit yesterday.
We received a gift of pajamas that had the feet on them that were incredibly adorable and I couldn't resist putting her in them when it was a tad chilly yesterday. So after her morning bath, I put her in her jammies and laid her on her back, and she slept for three hours. She did that successfully throughout the day..with Mom making sure she was in warmer clothes. Then last night, we had one of the best nights that we have had since she was born. We got home from watching the opening ceremonies at Mike and Angie's at about 11:30 and after a quick change and feeding, we laid her on her back in the pack 'n play we have in our room. She slept there until 2:30 when she woke for a change and feeding. I made sure not to drift off to sleep and laid her back down in her pack 'n play where she again slept until 6:00. Again after a feeding she laid down and we woke this morning at 9. After six weeks of being home, I got to sleep a whole night in my bed with my husband and IT WAS AWESOME!!!!
I had always just figured that since she was so warm to the touch, that a single onesie would keep her at a sufficient temperature. But I am coming to the conclusion that the reason she wanted to just snuggle with us was because she was a tad chilled and needed the heat from our bodies to keep her warm. What can I say, we are new at this and are learning with time. But I don't think I am going to get my hopes up too high, I don't want to jinx myself.
This past week my favorite photographer stopped by on Wednesday for a photo session. It was so good to chat with her and get pictures of our doll baby and the family as a whole. To top it all off, Shawna was able to instruct me on the proper use of an older camera that I was given by my mother. She taught me things that I had no clue the camera was able to do (things I thought you could only do with photo software). I just hope that I am able to remember her pointers when I go to take a few snap shots.
Early last week sometime Tyler received a profit sharing bonus check that wasn't much but it was enough to splurge a little on something just for us. Tyler decided that he wanted to purchase a set of good golf clubs for the two of us so that we can go out golfing as a family. After the clubs arrived on Wednesday, our anticipation grew and we really wanted to go out and swing them to see how they felt. Especially since this would be the first time I would swing a golf club other than at putt-putt. So yesterday we ventured out to the driving range (I called it the shooting range to a few people by accident) and while I breastfed on the grass, Tyler hit a bucket of balls and when it came around to being my turn to hit, the rain that was predicted for the day decided to show up. So I turned in my bucket of balls for tokens that we used today. I have to admit that I do enjoy it, when I connect with the ball. I am in need of some lessons however because my stance and swing are very armature.
I should get going as we have a wedding to attend to tonight and I still need to do our little girl's laundry. I leave you with pictures that I have taken from this week. And I can't believe how big our girl is getting...she is holding her head up fairly well by herself and even sitting up on the couch by herself ( I think it helps that the cushions hug her in place). Enjoy.
What a way to sleep
All cozy in her swing.
Look how big I am!
And the half attempt at a smile....not quite though.
