What She's Doing?
Megan is our busy body, always on the go. She is not destructive with her play, just busy. Most of the time she wants to do whatever her big sister is doing. She loves playing princess and singing and dancing with Jade. Her favorite show to watch is Sophia the First. In fact, we really don't get to watch anything else anymore. She just started watching full shows around 18-19 months, which does make traveling better. She just recently starting wanting to use my phone for games and movies. So far she hasn't messed anything up, but I still really would prefer her to play with other things. She continues to have a temper on her. She knows what she wants and if she doesn't get it she lets you know. She has many time outs throughout the week where she just gets alone time in her room. This used to work really well, but now she can open the door herself so comes out before she's done with her "fit." The girls love playing in the basement together. They have tents set up, they go to the movie, feed babies, go to the park, go swimming, etc. It has been really fun watching them interact. Yes, they still fight and argue about silly things, but I try to let them work it out even with the tears. Megan understands just about everything we say to her and she's getting better about figuring out a way to communicate what she wants with us. For awhile she would just scream when I couldn't figure out what she wanted, now she will take someone's hand and show them. This is very very nice! She continues to learn new words which sometimes seems daily and other times seems much slower. At 20 months she is saying, Mama, Dada, Jade, Bappa (Grandpa), nana (banana), Duke, yea, oh, uh-oh, signs more and please, thank you, bubble, blue, color, car, Rella (princess), there, hi.
Sleep:
Ugh! Gotta love all the stages right? For awhile we had her just going to bed, no tears or rocking. Then we transitioned to full out screaming, then we went back to just going to bed, and now she likes to be rocked for a while, then I lay her down and she just needs to cry or something because I can usually go in for a second time and rock her and then she will lay down for the night. She no longer wants Daddy to do bedtime. She used to go right down for him. He would even just open the door and tell her "no" and she would stop crying, lay down, and go to sleep. Now she just wants Mama! It gets old listening to her cry before naps and bed, but it seems like she just needs to. She rarely falls asleep in my arms when I rock her, she just needs the comfort I guess. She is easier to get to go down for a nap than bed, although still usually cries a little. She gets up 0-2 times a night. She usually goes back down pretty easy during the night. She typically naps from about 1:00-2/3:00. Bedtime is still around 7:30 and she's usually up about 8:00. I usually have to wake her up on Tuesdays and Thursday's because we have to take Jade to school.
Feed Me:
This is still a hard thing for me. She is not the best eater, but we figure it out. What she eats: pancakes and sausage, tator tot hot dish, spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, pasta sides, egg bake, chicken nuggets, french fries, blueberries, strawberries, crackers, chips, nachos (meat and cheese), yogurt, yogurt covered raisins, chex mix, sometimes cereal, string cheese, fruit pouches, watermelon, grapes, candy. She is not real adventurous and doesn't try many new things. She seems interested, but when it comes down to eating it she pushes it away. Someday my kids will eat normal right? There are nights that I cook 3 different meals. Yuck!!
Milestones:
She just finished getting all her I-teeth. She now has 16 total teeth, I think that's how man they are supposed to have now right? Next up are the 2 year molars.
15 Months Weight: 20lbs Length: 2' 5/5"
18 Months Weight: 20lbs Length: 2' 7"
20 Months Weight: 21.8lbs!!
Clothes. We are wearing all 18 month clothes. She is still just a little peanut. Still in size 3 diapers. Seems like we've been in those for a long time!!
