Over the past two weeks we've become convinced that Megan has said her first word. The word is no surprise, because she of course has chosen something very near and very dear to be the first comprehensible utterance to spill from her lips, a word to make her mother proud. That's right, Megan's first word is "kitty." Megan happily announces when a kitty gets anywhere near her.
Megan understands several other words, too. She gets that "Dante," "Zeus," "cat," and "gato" all refer to those loveable furry beasts, though I don't think she knows which cat goes with each name. I am not certain Megan can differentiate between "mommy" and "daddy" but she does know we are talking about one of those big people who live with her when we say either. But she can locate "baby" and "Megan" with complete accurracy in the mirror.
She is now at a stage where those little cogs are working non-stop to try to figure out the world. Megan is infatuated with things with buttons, because she knows toys with buttons make some kind of funny noise when you push them. She's always trying to get her hands on the phone, the remotes, and the computer to see what all those buttons do.
Megan also like doors, particularly closing them. She has fun opening and closing cupboards, but isn't too interested in the contents.
Megan understands dressing and will help with her arms, both to get her clothes on and off. She'll even sometimes raise her arms up (to take off her shirt) as soon as she hears the bath water running. She hasn't figured out, though, that she is supposed to lie still while getting her diaper changed!
