Megan's First Birthday

Megan turned one year old today.  I really can't believe that it has been a whole year.  I know I say this all the time, but time goes by so fast.  It seems like I was just pregnant and that we just had Megan.  Maybe it's partly because she is still so small and just doesn't look like a one year old.

I would say that Megan is a lot more active and physical then any average one year old.  She is all over the place all the time.  She is a good climber and is doing pretty good at getting of things without totally falling off and hurting her self.   Instead of going down backwards she likes to just sit on her bum and then scoot forward until she comes of the step, fireplace, or couch.

She is a master at opening all drawers and cupboards.  It is pretty much driving me totally crazy.  I am always picking up all the stuff she is dragging out of the drawers.  Her new favorite is getting the boy's underwear and pulling it out of their drawers.  It is kind of funny.  I don't want to put child locks on all the drawers, so I am going to just have to deal with it until she grows out of it.  I do have looks on all the kitchen drawers and cupboards - must be safe.
She is a super good talker.  She says Ma, Da, Ba, La, Ya...I am sure that she says more but that is all I can think of now.

She has five teeth.  She has the two fangs, and then three teeth on the bottom (who needs front teeth?).  She isn't really into baby food at all.  She will eat a couple bites and then want to just eat food herself.  She is good at feeding herself and loves to do it.  For only having five teeth, she eats "regular" food really well. 
We took her out to Texas Roadhouse tonight for her big day.  She had a good time and so did the rest of us.  Megan and Tyler have their well-child doctor visits on Thursday.  It is always fun to see how the kids are growing and if they are where they should be developmentally.
We all love our Megan and can't get enough of her.  She is just like our boys and loves to get down and climb all over them.  We are all so lucky to have this cutie in our family!
