Megan's Changes While We Were Gone

Some of you know that John and I went on a much-needed vacation last week.  It was nice to have a break from our current life, however, now I feel like I need a vacation from the vacation...  This was not a do-nothing vacation and it definitely wore both of us out.  We left on Sunday the 16th, flew down to Miami, hopped on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship stopping at Key West, Nassau and CocoCay, and spent the entire day Friday traveling home.  We were sooo ready to see our little one.

Megan changes and learns things so fast anyways but being gone from her for almost a week made it easy to see how she had developed.  The first thing we noticed is that her walking is so much better.  She barely has to have her arms up for balance anymore and stands really well on her own.  It also seems like she has more energy because she is almost running instead of walking.  Today, I let her "walk" into the sanctuary at church while holding my hand.  She was able to keep up with me for the most part, when she wasn't distracted by the busy surroundings that is. 

Here's another thing that Megan started doing last week.  She will sit on the floor, tilt her head as far to one direction as it will go, keep leaning in that direction until she falls over.  Hilarious and I don't know where that came from.  She also does the head-tilt thing in her high chair and was amusing the ladies at church today with it during the hymns because they were trying to lean as far over as she was!

Lastly, Megan has started to do more imitating with her hands and arms, including waving bye-bye.  She had already been clapping her hand but even that is getting better and more frequent, almost on cue when we start singing "If you're happy and you know it".  She also is enjoying having her arms up in the air as if she's waiting to ask a question and doing the "So Big" gesures.
