Meredith Patterson

Meredith Anne Patterson is the daughter and first born child of Michael and Deanna Patterson.

Personality
Meredith is a very rambunctious and energetic child. She loves her parents and playing with toys.

Background
Meredith was born in October 2002. Though Mike and Deanna were thrilled to have a baby, her conception was unplanned.

As a baby, Meredith cried a lot and was quite a hassle for her new parents to adjust to. She began teething around 2003, to the frustration of her parents. At just two years old, she gained a sibling, Robin.

In 2005, Meredith fell on the stairs and fractured her arm, requiring a cast to mend the wound.

Appearance
Meredith has blonde hair like her mother. As she grew into it, it became curly. She is drawn with noticeable lips, something that was not common in the strip until the later years, especially with child characters.

Trivia
•It is speculated that Deanna may have intentionally interrupted her birth control to conceive her, as she was a pharmacist and should have known better than to take it the wrong way or skip doses

•Meredith’s birthday is October 10. She is a Libra.

• Her nickname is “Merrie”

• At the end of the strip, it’s said that she gets into dance and theater as an older kid
