We've been pulling a chair up to the counter so Megan can help us when we make things like apple crisp or brownies. Last night she insisted on pulling up a chair while I was washing dishes, so I helped her roll up her sleeves, gave her a sponge, and let her go to town.


Megan never took a pacifier as an infant, but now she is fascinated whenever she sees another kid with one. She also has a baby doll that came with a pacifier, and she loves to walk around with the doll pacifier in her mouth. I usually hide this paci and only bring it out occasionally because I don't want her to think she needs it all the time, like a real paci. She got very serious about posing and held very still when I told her I wanted to take this picture.



And here's Megan's new feat: hanging and swinging from her climber. She's pretty strong!

Our county held its first public H1N1 vaccination clinics this morning, and Megan received the first of the two doses she needs. She only shed a few tears. Here she is afterward showing off her new sticker, which reads, "H1N1: I've been immunized!"
