More firsts for Reagan

Reagan is almost 8 months and she is changing so much right now. In my last post on Saturday I forgot to tell you she clapped. It is so cute to watch because she her hands don't always touch!!

Today she said mama and crawled over to me!!! It was wonderful! Rylie said dada first, but not Reagan. Michael was home for a little while this afternoon so he got to witness the whole thing!! It would of been enough for her to say mama, but the fact that she said it on her way over to me was just the icing on the cake.

1st trip to Chuck E Cheese

And we will be back!!! I had so much fun with the girls. Yesterday we went with Bethany & Brook and we really enjoyed it.


Rylie loves Barney!! She doesn't like the whole show, just the part with music. She has learned fast and hands me the remote when the music starts so I can skip to the next song!! This was a little toddler ride that went up & down. Rylie can be a little cautious, so I was really surpised when she liked it.

She must of been feeling brave, because this isn't like her either!!

We have a lot of road work by our house, so she is really enjoying tractors (that is what we call any kind of work vehicle because I don't know what else to call them!!) She was running around yelling tractor when she saw this. She really liked that there was room for Reagan. They rode 4 times!!

She actually rode this big kid ride with no help!! She did really good and laughed while it was moving.

She loved Skee Ball, we played 3-4 times. She would throw it as far as she could, and when it would come back down, I would throw it up for points.

Sorry so many posts at once. It should be a little summary of the past few months. Hope you enjoy all the pictures!!!

Some firsts for Reagan!!!

Reagan has had some firsts over the past week & I just wanted to update everybody. Last Friday she cut her first tooth!!! It was a long time coming, but it finally broke the skin. She has three more on the way. Hopefully they come through faster then the first one!!

On Saturday, a cute little boy was waving to Reagan. Just as I was about to tell him that she can't wave, she waved!!! Ever since then she has been a waving machine. She waves at everybody, but she looks at the hands, she just wants to make sure it is waving!!

As you can see in the picture below, in May she had her first busted nose!! She fell out of a lawn chair at Aunt Bethany's house (nobody give her a hard time, she already felt bad enough). Bethany was holding Reagan while the other big kids were playing. Addie got stung by a bee, so she put Reagan in the chair to get her. Reagan crawled out the front of the chair!! We took her to the dr just be on the safe side, but she was fine. Just a few cuts.


As you can see, her nose cleared up fine. Reagan in also crawling!! Well, sort of. Our house is all tile & hard wood floors. She crawls with one leg up and one leg down. The leg that is down just slides on the floor. If you put her on carpet, she doesn't move & she gets really, really mad!! She is still a little slow, but I bet in a week I won't be able to keep up!! She started her crawl/slide the past Thursday!!

Here are some cute pictures of just Reagan!!



This is how she crawls. You can see the back leg that slides. If you try & help her and move it, she lays flat on her tummy & cries!!

Zoo, zoo & more zoo

This spring we bought passes to the zoo. They have been great!!! You only have to go 3 times to pay for them, and we have probably gone 10 times. In March & April we went almost every week. Now it is a little to hot, but we still try to go in the mornings for a little bit. That is the good thing about the passes. I don't have to worry about what we see & trying to make it worth it. If something really catches Rylie's attention, we might stay at the animal's cage for 20-25 minutes.

Here they are. This pictures was taken in March, and as you can see, it was a little bit cool.


We played in the sand one time we went. As you can see, Reagan doesn't care about getting dirty, see loves it. Rylie on the other hand is a different story!! She is pouting because I made her sit in the dirt to take a picture. As soon as I was done we stood up and ask me to help her clean!!!

Her favorite spot is by the flamingos. This is how she stands the whole time we are there. It is the first thing you come to in the fort worth zoo so we see it on the way in & out. We spend at least 15 minutes and she crys when we have to leave.

As you can see, there are a ton for her to look at!!! They will walk right up to the cage. She loves it. She sees them in the water & she thinks they are taking a bath!!

The bear was the other favorite. When we first walked up, the bear was standing on its back legs, waving his arms and growling. It was quite a show. Of course I was to distracted to take a picture. When he layed down, Rylie was yelling at him to stand up. Everyone around got a kick out of it.

We just went this last week with Mike. I left my digital camera at home, so as soon as I get copies of the pictures on a CD I will post those. Rylie always loves it when her daddy can join us!!

Tool Box

At a home and Garden Show this Spring, we got a kit from Home Depot to put together a tool box. Mike has been fixing up a lot of things around the house so Rylie has been really into tools. She had a blast helping him & playing afterwards. She had Mike go get his tool box and they played for a little while. We bought a little tool set at Wal-Mart and she has had fun.

Love Pictures

Rylie is the best big sister. Right now Rylie calls Reagan sister. One of the first words out of her mouth in the mornings is Sister. Everytime we get ready to leave the house she always asks me, Sister bye, bye too? She loves to hold her, which is hard right now since Reagan is trying to crawl. Here are a few pictures of them together:



Rylie likes to do whatever Reagan is doing, and Reagan loves watching Rylie so it works out really good.

Here is Reagan watching Rylie play.

When I said she wanted to do everything Reagan does, I meant it. Reagan had just got out and Rylie asked to get in. She played for about 10 minutes and loved it. For almost 2 months all Rylie wanted to eat was baby food. She is over that now, but if you offer her baby food, she won't turn you down!!

Little Late, but here are Easter Pictures

It was hard to get a good picture of both of them together. Rylie had fun going though both of the Easter baskets!!

For dessert Bethany and I made each of kids a little egg shaped cake. We helped them decorate it and then they got to eat it. I am not sure which one they enjoyed more. I think this will have to be a new tradition for us. It was much less messy then coloring eggs.

Rylie did really good looking for eggs.

Some she needed help with, but not bad for her 2nd Easter.

Here she is looking at all her prizes!!
