10 Months Old

So not exactly the picture I was hoping for, but Megan wanted no part of laying still so I could take a picture. The second I would put her in position, she would flip over and crawl off of the elephant and sit right next to him. She taught it was hilarious and laughed every time she did it. I shouldn't be that surprised, she NEVER sits still. So needless to say, a picture isn't worth making Megan cry, so this is the picture you get to see. I'm sure she hasn't grown much since last month, but she has learned some more skills.

Some of the new things Megan has learned are:

1. She can clap her hands.
2. She will wave good bye when someone leaves or waves when someone waves to her.
3. She has mastered eating finger foods.
4. When she does climb up steps she knows how to crawl backwards to get back down.
5. Most nights she only gets up once but occasionally she still gets up twice a night.
6. She knows the sounds the bath tub makes and can't get in the tub fast enough.
7. She is getting a lot more adventurous when she walks along furniture.
8. She is now making noises that sound like talking verses babbling, and she talks all the time!
9. Still no teeth, but that doesn't slow her down when it comes to eating everything!

Another great picture of Megan playing when I wanted to take her picture. She is so cute, that she could do almost anything and I wouldn't care. The only time I get frustrated when she is playing is when I have to change a poopy diaper. I spend more time trying to keep her feet out of poop then I do changing her diaper! Of course when the diaper is on, she stops moving, stinker!

Mark and I are still amazed at how great Megan is, both in behavior and in just being ours. She gets so excited when Mark gets home from work, it is very sweet seeing them together. I can't even remember what it was like without her. Although it is hard to believe that in 2 months she will be a year old already, but things just keeping moving along. We have never wished for her to grow up any faster nor have we ever wished she would go back to a previous stage. She is just so much fun from day to day that why would we want to rush anything. We love her.

Here is Megan after she got off of her elephant when I was trying to get a picture. She had so much fun playing during her photo shoot.
