18 Months

Sweet Megan Joy is 18 months old today! She is growing so fast and is a bundle of energy. If a turn my head for a second (which of course happens all the time) she is into something. Her favorites are the kids game closet, my Tupperware drawer and the kids school supplies.
She also entertains herself well with toys. She loves the train table and the kitchen center. She brings me her tasty treats to try after she cooks up some plastic wonder. She enjoys drawing on the kids easel as well. She thinks she is just as big as Maddie and Sam now and will try and do anything they are doing. This has really brought the "you must be a good example" training into play with the older two! She also pretty much sees Maddie and Sam as the enemy who want to take her things. She is not afraid to stand up to them when she feels like they might be getting a little too close either! We are working with her on gentleness and sharing!

She continues to be a chatterbox and says tons of words, and tons of gibberish too! Anytime she is babbling Maddie and Sam try and figure out what she is saying. A few times I've heard Megan just said "It's a miracle!" or Megan said "Australia!" We had a check up last week and she weighed in at 25 # 4 oz and was 31 " long. She continues to be blond haired and blue eyed making her stand out in our family photos. This past week Maddie asked me where we got Megan. I told her God gave her to us and she said "Well, she doesn't have our kind of hair!" I'm sure as the third child they will soon start telling her we found her under a rock which will bring about new and exciting parenting challenges!

She is a sweet little thing and we are very blessed to have her!
