Our "Girly Girl"....or not

Meghan's current favorite toys are her John Deere tractor and dump truck (that will go in her sandbox once we pick it up!) and balls.

Though...she is also loving putting her bracelets on and hearing us tell her how pretty they are and hugging and kissing on her baby doll :) 

More 12 Month Pictures

Independent Ring Stacker

Today, Meghan was quiet, so I went to check on her....I found her with all but one ring stacked on the ring stacker. They weren't in the correct order, but they were correct enough that everything fit.

She did it all by herself, with no encouragement from a parent, and when she was done - she clapped for herself!! So cool to see her developing that intrinsic motivation.

Basketball!!

Aunt Lauren and Uncle Travis sent Meghan a basketball hoop. As soon as the ball rolled out of the box, she knew that this was a good gift....

I Spy With My Little Eye

Meghan has been loving her "I Spy" quilt that Mimsie made her for her birthday. I hang it on the couch when she's sleeping and when we get her up, it's often the first thing she points at and wants to play with. If I don't get it down fast enough, she will pull up on the couch and try to pull it down herself. So far her favorites are the dog, cow, and robot!!

Learning the Lawn Mower

Meghan has figured out how to work the pullstring and levers on her mower (a gift for her birthday). On Sunday evening, she and Daddy worked on figuring out how the lid to the gas tank went on. She also enjoyed "pouring gas" into the hole!
