Just a few more Meganisms to add.
1. "MoMo" - Elmo. as in "I wan MoMo." The girl has suddenly developed a love for Elmo. Thank you day care.
2.. "CC" - CD. Megan loves music and there is usually some sort of children's music playing either in the house or in the car. When there isn't Megan is quick to tell you to "pay CC" (play the CD)
3. "I coo" or "I pitee" - I'm cute or I'm pretty. Nathan and I have made the mistake of telling Megan she's cute a little too often. (We just can't help it - she's adorable!) So now, whenever Meg gets dressed, especially when she's wearing a dress, she tells us that she's cute or pretty. Modest isn't she?
4. "I hep" - I help. As I've mentioned numerous times Megan loves to help.

Meganisms
Megan's speech has suddenly exploded. She's been speaking in 3 or 4 word sentences for a while, but just recently she's been asking about the names of everything and repeating it. Trying to make sure she gets it right. Now the phrases she's been putting together just crack me up. Here are a few of my favorites:
"He go Mama." (Here you go Mama) - said while she brings me something Meg decided I needed to have. It can be anything from Cameron's toy to one of her baby dolls to my book.
"I wan ogurt." (I want yogurt) Yogurt has become Megan's favorite food. She wants yogurt with every meal. Sometimes she'll tell you she wants yogurt while she's eating yogurt.
"Cho Cho wain" (cho cho train), "Big tuck" (big truck), "Sma tuck" (small truck), or "Mee tuck" (medium truck)- these are usually squealed because Meg gets so excited when she sees/hears them. We're working on the difference between big, small and medium. For a while everything was a big truck.
"Mama, I want breasts." - said while pointing to her chest as she watched me change clothes.
Followed a few hours later by "Mama, I want wear bra." which was said while I was folding laundry and she was trying to put on one of my bras. I didn't think I'd have to have these conversations for a while yet!

Gardening
We were planting things this weekend and, of course, Meg decided she needed to help. She had to wear the gardening gear that grammy put in her Easter basket. She liked digging the first hole and putting a plant in it, but had other plans when it came to planting the remaining flowers. While I planted the rest, Megan alternated between pulling up the flowers I planted and moving them around to different spots, and trying to fill in the hole I had just dug with more dirt. Don't you just love it when toddlers help?

My Baby!
Megan has discovered dolls. She calls her dolls My Baby! (yes, she does say it with the exclamation point). Megan has given her baby a bath using a wipe, has put the baby on the potty, changes the baby's diaper, and carries the baby around using a toy carrier. It's funny how it happened. One night Megan went to bed oblivious to the fact that she even had a few dolls. She woke up the next morning grabbed a doll and started carrying it everywhere.
Megan is trying to convince me that the baby, the carrier, the books (in the carrier) and a bottle should be allowed to go to church with us. I'm proud to say I got her down to just the baby. Go Mommy!

Teething
Megan is working on getting her 2 year molars. Nathan and I were having the dreaded working parent conversation last night. Meg had a slight fever and was extra clingy. We were trying to figure out who would stay home with her today should she still be sick in the morning. Fortunately, it turns out she wasn't sick that second tooth was just getting ready to pop out. I called day care this morning and she was just fine. Her teacher even said Meg was having a good day.
Overall, Megan has been pretty good about teething. She seems to have a high tolerance for pain, which she got from me by the way. ;) Teething never really bothered her all that much. But these molars are taking forever. It's been at least a month since we noticed that her little gums are red and swollen. I'm choosing to blame her becoming a human barnacle on the molars moving on down.
