Life

In one of Megan's bibles there is the story of baby Isaac.  She loves the picture of baby Isaac.  She will now open the bible and flip through the pages until she finds it; and if she goes too far she knows it and will let go of the pages and start again.  When she finds him she slaps her hand down on the page, points to him with her other hand and smiles.

Last weekend we took the kids to pullen park.  It is in Raleigh, so a little bit of a drive, but it has 3 kid friendly rides.  We want to start exposing Megan to age appropriate stuff and boy did she love it.  She played on the swings, see-saw and the sand box while we waited for the rides to open.  First was the train - it is a little train that goes all the way around the park.  She sat beside me on the bench and had so much fun. She was kicking her little legs and clapping and smiling.  Sam was sitting beside Will and crying for the first half.  Next up was the boats attached to a pole in the center that go around in a circle.  Once again Megan had a blast - she was playing with the wheel and the flag and trying to get Sam to play with his wheel.  Sam asked to get out every time they passed us, but he wasn't crying.  Finally, after a snack break, it was time for the carousel.  We put both kids on a horse that went up and down.  This was definitely the fasting moving carousel I have ever seen.  Megan was so very happy and after I talked Sam down he was tolerating the ride.

I took the kids up to see Will last week just before lunch.  This is the first time we have been since Megan has been taking more than just 1-2 steps.  She held onto our hand and walked all over the place saying hi to people.

She loves to stand up at Sam's tray when he has food.  The other morning Will was feeding Sam lunch and Megan went over to them and was taking cheerios from his tray and feeding him; though she would occasionally tease him by putting it up to his mouth and then putting it into her own.

She has found her "b" sound again.  She started making it again this week.  The first time was on Wednesday morning.  She was eating breakfast and heard Sam and said "bababababa".  Will said it sounded an awful lot like bubba.  Then in speech later that same morning she said it for ball.

I got to watch the coolest thing yesterday when I picked Megan up from school.  She was climbing the stairs and sliding all by herself.  She would hold onto the hand rails, walk up the stairs, get down and make her way to the slide and then slide.  I wish I could have recorded it - it was a wonderful moment.  We will definitely find our way to the school so she can repeat this while I have my camera ready.
