Birthday Fun Round Two (ding!)

We decided to officially declare it Reagan's Birthday Week as

we hosted a party with family over the weekend

to continue the fun. Lots of presents and sugar involved...

Stat Update...

I forgot to mention that we went for Reagan's one year checkup

and as expected our girl is off the charts:

Height: 32.5"

Weight: 23.5 lbs.

(don't think I'll be able to do this when she is in her teen years...)

Birthday Treats

We ended our taco pizza dinner lastnight with a

nutritious confectionary known as Brownie Surprise

in honor of Reagan's Birthday.

Though she was excited to see the cake presented

on her tray, it took almost 3 minutes to eat her first bite.

I had it on video but the file was too long

to upload - the first three are still shots from video

with some photos to follow once she

realized it was cake, and cake is good.

Safety First (note the wide newspaper coverage)

Yadda Yadda Yadda...

After dinner Reagan took a moment

to catch up with some old friends...

The conversation with the pre-recorded

operator must have been stimulating,

as she is very animated!

We Love to Laugh

Reagan has a very fun little book
that laughs each time you push the button
and turn the page.

Proving that laughing is indeed contagious...

Dance Party

Reagan was enjoying a little afternoon
dance party in the kitchen.

She Walks!

Here it is folks... finally captured on tape
(yes, that is my flipflop in her hand - actual size)

Former ISU Redbird's Mom's Club

This is a new club that we (me and 2 old friends from college) have decided to start

to help us get together every so often so the girls can play...

(aka so the mommies can catch up since they live so far away).

This weekend we drove north to meet at the

SplashStation Waterpark

and what fun the girls (mommies) had!
