Changes

Megan has been changing over the past few weeks, especially in the last 7-10 days.  Not only has she said a few words but she is trying to talk quite often.  She tries and tries to say words, she points at things and struggles to find the right sounds for them.  She will have me tell her what something is over and over again as she tries to imitate me.

She has always used our hands to do things or pointed at things and grunted for them but she is now walking over, asking for something, walking back to us, grabbing our hand and taking us to the item and talking to us about it some more.

Today when I was playing with the kids I asked Sam if he was my little buddy, mommy's little boy and he said "yes, yes, yes" and giggled.  A few minutes later I asked Megan if she was my little miss, mommy's little girl and she emphatically shook her head yes, clapped her hands and smiled a huge smile.

She will audibly tell Sam more when she wants him to do something again, like turn on a toy or play chase with her.

She is engaged, she is responsive and she is initiating conversations.  She is doing great at school.  She has started interacting/play with the other kids.  Her and another little girl in her class pretended legos were hats last week and were putting them on each other's heads and then giggling about it.
