A Comfy Seat

Last week after shopping I left

some paper towels and toilet paper in

the dining room so Reagan and Payton

claimed it as their special little seat.

I imagine it to be extra fluffy

and soft, just like the packaging said.

What you can't see are David's hands

...we do not have a bipedal cat.

Naptime, perhaps? Doubt it.

My How They Grow...

The other day I caught Reagan trying to

squeeze herself in her laundry basket

and thought it looked familiar...

Reagan at 5 months
(my amateur attempt at a homemade photo shoot)

Same basket, same baby

Reagan at 21 months...
Forget it mom, I'll just lay on the floor!
(notice the same blankie, too)

A Four Legged Friend...

Our friend Lesley just recently got

a new puppy - and Reagan is thrilled!

We welcome Cooper!
(even though he wears a Steelers tag)

Reagan being helpful and feeding Cooper...

though most of it ended up in the grass.

Cooper and Reagan enjoying the

bubble machine...

Reagan's Little Brother

Yesterday we had our 20 week ultrasound

and found out Reagan is

having a brother! They estimate him

to be a solid 12 ounces and 6 inches long -

all looks good for an early October arrival...

Awww, his first official blog posting...I think he has David's toes...

Say Cheese!

On Mother's Day we met my friend

Dan and had some family photos

taken at Ewing Park near our house.

I think Reagan is getting used

to the camera...

Out of the Mouths of Babes...

Lately our little comedian has really

been cracking us up. I want to remember

her sillier moments by actually

writing them down and sharing them...

1 - She thinks it is hilarious to call Daddy
by name...greeting him at the door with

"Hey David!"

2 - There are vinyl decal butterflies on her

wall in her room...she names them

every morning from biggest to smallest:

"mommyfly, daddyfly and reagyfly"
(I appreciate that mommyfly is the biggest these days...)
3 - She fake sneezes randomly at the dinner

table to get a laugh out of anyone present...

4 - Reagan is also aware of the country's

financial situation: the other day she pointed

at our license plate (which has the profile of
Abe Lincoln and is rectangular in shape)

and said, "Mommy! Money!"

...still wearing mommy's shoes...

A Popsicle's Demise...

Here we see Reagan in her natural

habitat (the backyard) demolishing a

popsicle on a lovely sunny day...

I think you can see why we chose to

enjoy our sweet treat outside that day...
