Why yes, you're seeing things correctly; that is a huge 'Meryl blanket!' 

Meryl has been expressing her celebrity status as of late. Elke stopped by for a visit and 'thought' she'd play with Meryl by pressing a few music playing buttons with her. Meryl had the impression that only 'she' was going to be pressing the buttons and pulled Elke's hand away!

No matter how much broccoli we put in front of Meryl, she (and everyone else!) preferred all that delicious Brazilian carved meat!

Cinnabon! Happy Birthday, nostalgia! (Ahem, Frank!)

Nothing like showing up to the doctor's office to find blackberries hidden down her shirt! Meryl had her one-year-old check-up appointment today. She clocked in at 19 lbs. and 6.1 oz., and is 29 inches tall.
