Meghan woke up from her nap feeling a little "out of it" - it had obviously been a good nap as one of her pigtails had moved up on her head :)
A little bit of water seemed to be just what she needed....after this she was back to her normal self.
Meghan continues to love her tutu and her bibs. She often will wear them both. This picture just cracks me up!
It's been a big week of becoming a big girl. She now enjoys drinking from this "trainer" open top cup. She's getting very good at remembering to tip it and is able to get lots of water out. She looks so ridiculously cute as she does it, too.
Meghan loves "coaching" Mama. When I put her down for a nap she will point at the things in order saying "that" - point to pacifier, point to Charlotte (stuffed bear), point to white noise machine, point to crib. This day I caught a picture of her coaching me about where to find her vitamins. She loves taking her gummy bear vitamins in the afternoon!
After we got home from the grocery store, Meghan walked around carrying the two empty grocery bags for at least 30 minutes. As she was doing it she just kept saying "bye bye. bye bye, Mama."
Another big girl moment at dinner this week was the introduction of the fork. For the first bite, I stabbed the piece of chicken nugget, put it in her mouth, and helped her hold her mouth shut to remove the food. The second bite, I stabbed the food and she did the rest. She took over from there eating 5 chicken nuggets! She was having so much fun that she ate 3-4 more nuggets than usual!
Meghan started using the kitchen to actually play pretend cooking this week. She would open the door, slide in a dish of foods, shut the door, wait a bit, open it up and remove the food. It was so cute to watch her! Completely wrapped up in her own little world! It makes me aware that she is watching EVERYTHING that I do - even when I don't realize it - what a huge calling motherhood is!
She put the day's favorite toys on the bed and slid it out to where Mama was. Then puppy got to wear bracelets :) Everybody in this house wears bracelets!
We went to IKEA on Friday afternoon. Last time we were there, she was cuddled up in a little ball on my chest in the carrier. On Friday, she sat in the cart through the store and then walked with Mama through the warehouse part. She enjoyed pushing the cart a lot! Oh my, she's getting so big so fast....
One of the things I purchased at IKEA was a small hand broom and dust pan for her. She loved it and cuddled it through the store and loved playing with it when we got home. She has started showing an interest in helping out around the house and I want to provide her with the tools to be able to do so....hopefully soon she will be able to clean up little messes that she makes :) With as fast as she's learned to help with laundry tasks, I think it's totally possible!
Saturday morning she woke up asking for her boots. So, she was styling - even so early in the morning!
The kid is obsessed with her dad's shoes! She loves playing with them and carrying them all over the house. Cole got some cute pictures of her!
And lastly, the cross stitch this week. I've gotten a bit more done since this picture was taken on Friday night - but it's super wrinkly and hard to tell, so it'll be in next week's picture :)
