Goofies

Love the giggles.

18 Months

Holy cow. Miss Megan turned 18 months old this month. She is growing up so fast. We love her to death. She's such a goof and is always making us laugh.

 She is a total outside girl.  Especially at Grandma and Grandpa Clayson's house.  Since we live in a basement we don't have a door to the outside, but at Grandma's she can just walk right out.  She loves it and loves their sandbox.

 

 Peanut butter and honey sandwiches are definitely her favorite lunch.  Although she'll eat most anything most days.  And she loves eating.  I never have to worry she'll starve!  :)

At the Treehouse Museum in Ogden.

 

 She loves loves loves daddy lately.  She gets really excited when she sees something that's his while he's gone at work.

She used to call both Patrick and I mom, but now she calls us both dad.

 

 If you look real close you can see a little tiny ponytail in her hair.  She HATES having anything in her hair.  Just like her mom.

 

One of her favorite places to be is our bed.  She likes having the pillows stacked on her.  And she loves playing tent on the bed ("nent" as she calls it).  She will sit under our blankets for hours.

Other things to remember about the Megs....

•  She is slowly adding more words to her vocabulary.  But her pronunciation is terrible, so most of the time I have no clue what she's saying.  It has to be way in context or I have to ask her over and over again what she's saying.  Some of her favorite words are more (said "mo" with a sad tone), tent ("nent"), trash, please ("pah"), dog or pup, and go.  And the one phrase she uses is "want some more."
• Lately she has been afraid of spiders and bugs.  She will scream "bu" until I come take care of it.
• She is awful at the grocery store.  Now I totally understand why the YW leader I served with in Provo went grocery shopping at 5:30 a.m. before anyone was awake.  If I have 3 of her to go grocery shopping with I'll go crazy.
• She is still tall (90th), still has a small head (22nd), and is a bit heavier than average (65th).
• She has gone to nursery twice and done great.  Keep it up Megan!  Nursery leaders say she is a cute observer and watches the other kids more than she plays.  Probably a trait she got from her mom.

Tent Lovin'

Megan got a tent with a tunnel for Christmas from grandma and grandpa Clayson. She loves it! For a while it had most of her toys in it. She would sit in there and play and climb in and out through the tunnel. I like these pics of her and cousin Thanny playing in it. I love Than's face when he's in the tent, but you can't see it super great on these smaller pictures.

Christmas 2011

I know this is a little ridiculous. Christmas was forever ago, but this blog is for me, so even though I'm behind I still want to record some things about our lives. :)

Christmas was good. Megan got it a little bit. She wanted to open everyone's presents, not just her own. She liked to rip up the paper and she actually seemed excited about the gifts inside the packages. The whole thing was tiring for her though. With 2 Christmas parties on Christmas Eve and an early day and church on Christmas and cousins in the afternoon she was pooped and a slightly grumpy girl by the end of it all. She was sick too, so that probably made the tired thing even worse.

Christmas morning. We're getting more decorations on our tree! It was so sparse the first year.

Opening her big present from mom and dad.

It's a kitchen! She still plays with it and loves it. She also got a baby doll, some clothes, and a pop-up toy from mom and dad.

Helping dad open his present-the annual Dilbert calendar.

Happy it's Christmas.

Ridiculously happy it's Christmas!

After church. Look at those tired little eyes.


In the afternoon with all the Frost family.

Lily with her ear muffs and dog.

Watchin' everyone open presents.

On Monday, Dec. 26 we went down to my parents house and had "Christmas" with the Clayson's. Boys played basketball, we opened presents, had dinner, and played games.

Megan got a Cabbage Patch from Grandma and Grandpa Frost and the stroller from Grandma and Grandpa Clayson. One lucky girl!

15 Months

Megan Since Turning 1

- She blows on her food and blows kisses.
- Does a fake, whiny cry and a fake, goofy laugh.
- Puts everything in the garbage--if it's missing, check the trash can!
- Climbs on things. It started with the Wii balance board. I loved watching her climb onto that. It's only 2 inches tall, but you would've thought she was climbing a mountain. Now she can climb onto the couch and chairs.

- She loves sitting on things. The stairs, a chair, the Wii balance board...anything above ground level. And she loves sitting in things. A toy bucket, the diaper box...

- I finally got around to teaching her how to go down the stairs backwards. But, now she only wants to be a big girl and go down normally. So apparantly I waited too long to teach her to go backwards.

- She chatters, chatters, chatters and tries to say words. I have no idea what she's saying.
- She has fallen in love with baby dolls. She carries them around, wipes them with diaper wipes and wash clothes, puts diapers on them, shares her food with them, and just plain loves them to death.
- She is full of personality. She's so goofy and loves to just be crazy.

- She hits and throws fits. Not my favorite new skills.

- She was sick for about 3 weeks, but she's finally better! She had an ear infection. :(

- And her 15 month stats:

Height: 32.09 inches (91st percentile)

Weight: 22 lbs 13.5 oz (50th percentile)

Head Circ.: 45 cm (24th percentile)
