Mischief

No box of anything is safe in this house anymore! Teagan has become quite skilled at opening sealed boxes and then quickly emptying out all the contents. She likes to help me unload grocery bags and sometimes she will take off with a box. Before I know it, she is pulling out every bag or kleenex. At least she has a lot of fun doing it!

In other news.... Teagan said her first sentence today, sort of. She was looking out the window at the broom on the patio and said "Dada, bu, swee". Translation: Dada sweeps the bugs.

Cookie Monster!

I made chocolate chip cookies this afternoon, and Teagan really liked them! I've made cookies in the past and she's only been sort of half-interested. Today though, she wouldn't let me offer her bites, she wanted her own cookie! I knew this was bound to be messy, so I put her in her seat with a bib and let her go at it. She decided to use her finger to first dig out the chocolate chips and eat those. When I was cleaning her up, she even had chocolate under her fingernails. Oh my. And now, whenever she walks through the kitchen she points to the cookie jar saying "more, more!" I guess she's a little cookie monster now!

Froggy Friend

Teagan's absolute favorite toy is her stuffed frog. She carries the frog all around the house and loves to give her frog hugs and kisses. I have seen her try to give the frog a drink from her sippy cup on several occasions and the other day while we were eating yogurt, she was quite upset with me when I wouldn't let her give the frog a bite. One night when I was cooking dinner, she was upset that I wouldn't give her "nuh nuh", her word for nursing. I suggested that she give her froggy nuh nuh and she actually pulled up her shirt and tried. So cute.

She also has several other stuffed animals that she loves. They include a dog, a cow, and a penguin.

4th of July

We had a very busy, but fun, 4th of July. We started the day bright and early by going to the parade in Plano. My dad got there early and saved us a spot in the shade. Amazingly, the shade and the breeze made it very comfortable outside. Teagan did great at the parade and was most interested in any dogs that she saw (both spectators and parade participants). While playing with some lollipops, Teagan managed to get one open. Before we even noticed, she already had it in her mouth! So she got her first taste of lollipop and seemed to like it. After the parade we went to Allen to have lunch at Beth's house.

After leaving Allen, we drove to Duncanville to spend the afternoon with Paul's family. The first two times we tried to take Teagan swimming, she was not interested. Today was different. She had so much fun splashing and kicking in the pool.
