Okay it is the first week of summer, but it doesn't really feel like it! It's raining, so we can't go to the pool. The rain has turned the barnyard into a swamp, so I haven't ridden Doodle. To top everything off M.E. has a stomach bug, so I've been bathing her, doing laundry and cleang carpet and furniture non-stop! It can only get better, right?
UPDATE- M.E. has kept clear fluids down all day and the sun is out! Things are looking up! Currently she is dancing to a recorded "Jack's Big Music Show." The upside to having a sick girl is that she sure likes to hug her momma!

New words
Mary Elizabeth has started to say "thankyou" everytime she is done with something and wants you to take it. Sometimes this is when she has finished her milk and she hands you the cup, but sometimes if I put something on her plate that she doesn't want to eat she picks it up and hands it to me and says "thank you". It is too funny! She has also stared to say "dadee" and "momma" and point to us. It's like she knew the words and she knew us, but she just put 2 and 2 together. The word "no" is big right now. Anytime she doesn't want something, wants us to stop doing something (ie- combing hair), etc., we get a firm NO. She is really turning into her own person. I just hope we get a happy medium between the NO girl and the "thank you" girl!

Big Girl
Playing at the ArtsFest
Mary Elizabeth went for her 15 month checkup on April 20th. She measures 33 1/2 inches and weighes 33. 7 pounds. She says about 10 words that are recognizable: book, horse, molly, eye, ear, nose, toes, hi, bye, eat, more, dada, mama. Her favorite word is "Meow". I thnk she thinks that is what cats are! Every picture and cat she sees gets an automatic "meow." Pink- pink (pink stuffed bear) is her best sleeping friend. She knows when you say"let's go see pink-pink" it means bedtime or naptime. She also babbles constantly. She enjoys meeting new people everywhere we go. Books are almost an addiction recently. She wants one in her hands all of the time. She will sit and read all by herself and point to different things in each book. Playing pretend is also a favorite activity. M.E. likes to brush her hair, use a spoon to eat, try to put on her own shoes (or mine) and wash herself in the tub. Sleeping continues to go well (11 hours at night and a 2 hour nap each day). She has eaten many different things, but she may not like the same thing 2 days in a row! Chicken nuggets are almost always a hit though. I am really ready for summer so I can stay home and play with my girl!
