The Hoosier Homestead Family: Our Week :: 7/19

Grandpa Dale stayed with us for a few days last week and Meghan enjoyed getting to play with his dog Buddy. They enjoyed sitting and watching out the front door together.

Meghan is loving flashcards. She enjoys the touch and feel textures of these cards. She likes to label things she sees, pick a word we say out of two, or find a word we say from amongst the cards sprawled out across the whole floor. This girl also knows the difference between a combine and a tractor....important skills in the city :)

We got our first ripe peaches off of the tree this week. Meghan has always refused to eat the canned peaches we would offer them - we're assuming because of the texture. These fresh peaches, however, she inhaled!

She has been interested in bananas recently - she eats very little of them, but they are a food she used to refuse due to the texture.

This week we went to the Farmer's Market and a park. The park is designed for lots of climbing by big kids.....but she loves playing around the equipment anyways. Her sweetness is just amazing!

She found an acorn!

Meghan enjoys working on a task at the counter while I am working in the kitchen. This day she was sorting buttons into cups based on whether they were red or blue - then she did lots of practicing of pouring between two cups.

Our cucumber plant has been producing like crazy - like we've canned 11 quarts, eaten several, and still have given away at least 30! Meghan is obsessed with biting on them (especially since she's teething). This day she went after the cucumber and actually at a few inches down before admitting defeat!

We finger painted for the first time. She enjoyed it quite a bit and was enthusiastic about making the paint move around the paper!

She has been enjoying using her farm animal puzzle pieces as toys to play farm in her playroom.....I think it's so cute! While I'm working elsewhere I can hear her out there making all sorts of animal sounds :)
