Meritt 2.5

Our amazing little girl doesn't seem so little anymore. :( She is becoming such a big girl & is absolutely the greatest child. She is the happiest, most fun, outgoing & smartest toddler. She doesn't have tantrums, she minds well, we can pretty much take her anywhere with us.....she is just the best!
Meritt is still in speech therapy a few times a month & she (and us) loves her therapist, Nancy. She has really come a long way with her speech....she can almost say most everything, but not necessarily the clearest or where everyone could understand it. She has her own words for some things & still can't pronouce a few sounds....but it's all coming together eventually. Meritt LOVES to dance & has great rhythm. She could watch cartoons all day long if you let her & sometimes it has gotten close to it in the last few weeks. We only let her watch good, learning cartoons & she has really learned a lot from them. One day she just all of a sudden counted to 10 with the cartoon and it was the first time she had ever done it. She is very smart & will say or do things that we didn't even know she knew. :) She is so compassionate towards people....especially lately. If we get onto her, she will say "Mama mad" or if she sees someone crying she says so-and-so is sad. Then if she sees us cry or anything, she wants to hug & kiss us....and since Axton has been home, she constantly wants to check on him & gets worried when he starts crying. Meritt is just a very sensitive & affectionate little girl, which I love about her. She will give anyone & everyone hugs. There are so many little things that her & I do...or that she & her Daddy do, that are special to each of us. We love her joy & laughter that fill our home every day. Meritt is one of the most amazing gifts we have ever received!

Our angel is 2 1/2 years old & so beautiful! I had a little photo shoot with her too. :)
