Just a few pictures of her in her church outfit last Sunday...she LOVED her striped tights!!
We have all been loving this adorable fleece leopard vest of hers. It even has little ears on the hood! She has mastered unzipping it - which means lots of "help!" cries so that I will zip it for her to try again :)
She has been using "hot" and "cold" to describe things recently - she is about 60% accurate at correctly using the terms. Cole was helping her by having her touch a container with warm burgers inside and an ice pack. She's been much more accurate in her use of those words since this "science experiment" with Daddy.
Speaking of Daddy - that's his new name. Rarely does she use Dada, it's usually Daddy - which is just so sweet!!
We've been working on spooning skills a lot. She does not like practicing with "wet" foods that might get her hands or face messy (related to her Sensory Processing Disorder) - so we have been practicing with her morning cheerios. This day she decided to try using a fork....which was even slower than the spoon!
A new favorite is carrying some books to the stairs and reading them on the bottom step. She's learning more and more lines from her favorite books and it's so sweet to listen to her read them to herself.
The weather has been beautiful. Meghan loves playing out in the backyard - picking clovers and dandelions ("flowers" of course!), "cooking" grass in a metal pail and stirring with a stick, kicking her ball, and running around. This day when we were getting shoes on to go outside she kept repeating "outside! ball! kick it! okay!" over and over and over.
She loves her animal magnets and enjoys when I get out the cookie sheet for her to play with them on (they easily slide under the fridge, so this is safer). She is starting to say their names AND sounds rather than just their sounds these days.
I tried to take some pictures of her in this favorite shirt of mine - but she wanted to hum and read books, so no smiles.
Wow, what a difference a year makes! She has this shirt in 2 consecutive sizes (I kinda liked it!) and it was fun to see how much she's changed in just one year. I can't imagine what she'll look like in another year (though, I don't have this shirt in the next size....bummer!).
I don't know where she gets this - as a friend says about her daughter, she's part fairy princess - she walked around with a phone to her ear repeating "woh. woh? woh!" while wearing sparkly flower shoes, a purse, and bracelets. This isn't at all like me - this is totally nature!
We have a book about continents that Meghan loves reading - the outlines of the contents are raised and she loves feeling them. She has learned how to say Asia, Europe, and Africa. She can also point to them on the map when you say their name or name them when you point to one! She shocked me with this skill! We haven't "worked" on it - she's just picked it up in a few readings.
I love the way she says "ac-ric-a."
