And Now it's June

(to quote Everyone Loves Raymond) "holy crap!" Where has the year gone?

So, let's see...I've not been the best at posting lately. Every day Megan does something and I think "I need to blog that"...but then the day goes by and I don't get it done. I guess probably because I want to put photos up and I can only do that on the desktop. If I go back in the office to do that, she thinks she needs to help me on the computer. So, here's a list of some new things to note:

• She LOVES to help...empty the dishwasher, carry laundry, push the laundry into the dryer, etc. You have to catch the silverware she's taking out of the DW fast enough, or she puts them in her mouth on the way to you, though.
  
• She has started bringing things to me when she finds things she's not supposed to have. For example, if she finds a TV remote, she brings it to me rather than try to run and hide with it or frantically push a million buttons before I get it.
• She has started saying "GO" while signing go...she does it a lot when we stop in the store to look at something and she doesn't want to.
• She makes frustration noises when we are stopped in the car (as in "go, darn it! I hate to stop!")
• She's drinking from a "big girl" cup now. Of course, she lets a lot of the water go down her shirt, but she'll get it. We keep practicing (especially when she hasn't drank very much).
• She's using her fork all the time now.
• She identifies every letter of the alphabet (as in we ask her to find a letter and she always does).
  
• When she is identifying letters, she says A, D, E, I, O, S, X. She doesn't say "G", but she says "Go" or makes the G sound. She makes the sound for "H" as well and sometimes "Z". (This is a game that helps us get through the grocery store after the snacks are gone!)
  
• She loves puzzles, coloring and writing.
  
• She's still sleeping with one of us right now for part of the night. Some nights are better than others, but I think she likes sleeping with us (at least for the time being, that might change soon).
• She gives the sweetest kisses! She loves to give kisses to dolly with a loud smack. It's so darn cute!
• She's gotten into hats. Late last week, I found a hat and put it on her head--she liked it, so I got others out and she actually keeps them on!
  
• Oh, and before I forget to mention, one of her teachers at school commented that she noticed Megan likes it if she would comment on her shoes. Oh boy, takes after Auntie Katie--a shoe girl at age 2!!! I guess that just goes with her being a little fashionesta, uh?
• And lest I forget...this weekend she started trying to put her leg on the side of the tub and wanting to put lotion on...just like me. HOW FUNNY! (Of course, she can BARELY reach, but too cute!)
  

The other day we were getting ready for supper and DH called her into the kitchen. She was barefoot (it's been in the high 80s, low 90s) and he said "Don't you love the sound of that pitter-patter? Um, Y-E-S! She is so sweet, loving and absolutely adorable. We couldn't be more in love! We are SSSOOOOOO blessed with our little princess! (Today marks her being with us 14 months--boy does time fly!)
