Mega Bloks!!

Meghan loves the Mega Bloks - and earlier this week she figured out how to stack them! So far she's been able to stack a 1x1 block on any other block (over and over and over!!) but still doesn't quite "get" how to attach other shapes to each other. She sits and studies them so intently - I'm sure she will figure it out soon.

Saturday

A few pictures from last Saturday...

Blowing kisses is a new favorite activity. But you can't just ask her to blow kisses. You have to say something that implies going somewhere and including the word go. Because apparently we only blow kisses when people are going somewhere - Daddy had just left for the garage to work on the car when I took this picture!

We went outside to play in the sunshine a bit, too. However, the grass was wet, so we didn't get to do any super good playing.

Someone thought the flowers were pretty - she kept saying "ooooh!"

Spikey Balls

A few days ago, I picked up these fun balls in the Easter dollar section of walmart. I figured my little sensory girl would love them. And boy was I right! When she woke up from her nap, I had set them one in each cup of a muffin tin. She had a blast moving them between cups, moving them to a pile outside the tin and moving them back, throwing them, standing up and watching them drop, etc.

(Signing "more" and sitting criss-cross.....so cute!)

I am trying to take pictures that include close ups of those little fat rolls on her arms and the dimples of fat in her hands....she is a slim little thing (20th percentile at her well check last week) with just a few little areas of "chub". And as she's growing up and getting more active those are getting to be smaller and smaller. I want to always remember those chubby little hands and their sweetness in mine!!

Feeding Baby

Meghan is currently not very interested in eating. However, she is loving feeding her baby doll in it's highchair!!

It is so amazing to watch her nurturing skills beginning to present themselves. She's rough and tumble, for sure (that's mostly a home and with people I know well thing).....but she's also a sweet little nurturer!!

EVERY DAY

Every day, for most of the day, Meghan carries this toy phone and those three bracelets wherever she goes. Apparently, they are her current favorites.

She has also learned that the bracelets can be worn! Though she usually has at least one finger that is just too uncooperative for her to put them on independently, when she wants to wear them, she will hold them up in the air for a parent to come by and help with. If you tell her how pretty they are she will smile and smile!

Transferring

Meghan is currently obsessed with putting objects into containers and transferring them between containers. Here are some recent pictures:

(A pretty typical "Mom! Why are you taking pictures of me?" face)

(Putting her puppets into their container. And out. And back in.)

(Easter eggs were a very happy surprise!!)
