19!

 (after church!)

(so pleased w/ mouthful of jellybeans! yum!)

 (from last yr! little cutie)

well very late as usual! such a super fun age this is-we keep saying 'THIS is my fave age!" Really this girl is so fun, repeating everything still and SO CHATTY we love it. Her little personality is so cute and bubbly and we are havin so much fun. Such a busy gal-this is what Meryl is up to the past month:
-loves to draw with crayons, chalk, pens, we keep finding little crayon scribbles everywhere! thankful for 409 right now.
-loves to sit on the couch and say "BIIIG GURRL!!" so proud of herself!
-still loves MDO, and talks about her friends all the time-she is REALLY good with names. Knows our friends names, which baby goes with who, etc. She remembers EVERYTHING. Mike and I keep looking at each other in shock-with the same face-how does she know that??--
-now has ALL 4 incisor teeth, thank goodness. Last week was pretty rough for this gal and thankfully all teeth are thru FOR NOW ;)
-LOVED Easter, LOVES eggs. So fun! We had 2 egg hunts Easter, one in the morning in her room (a new fam tradition for us.) It was so fun, jellybeans are definitely M's FAVE new food. The 2nd was with sweet friends and just SO fun. Had a great day and even got to eat lunch with Auntie Kat and Uncle Dave. Meryl's Easter basket from LY is who knows where-in storage I guess! My Mom+Dad brought mine from last year for her to use and somehow broke, so we opted for the $5 special from target. Who knows maybe we'll just a different one every year at this rate! We'll see!
-saying i love you too too (after we say I love u) so cute.
-loves to give "BIG HUG", which she has now learned to use to her advantage. She realizes Mom and Dad are suckers for the BIG HUG.

Such a sweetie! And getting SO BIG.
