New Pics

Buds

Wylee tolerating Reagan.

My Motivation

Until Reagan is old enough to say, "Mom, take me for a jog," her big smile and sweet clapping cheering me on in the jogger, while I run behind, will have to be motivation enough. The jogging stroller has a cool feature that you can hook up your Ipod and the sound comes out the speakers. It is so cute how Reagan looks up at me, smiles, bobbing her head and swinging her arms to the music, while I am out of breath, panting along behind. My lil' cheerleader!! Thanks Reagan!!

Ring-Around-The-Rosie

Ready???
Ring around the rosie...
We all fall down!!

The Roomba!!

My mother-in-law bought us a great gift for busy parents of a toddler---a robot vacuum! Reagan spends time chasing it down. Wylee on the other hand is running from it in the other direction.

Milk and Cookies

Anyone who knows me, knows I do not cook or bake--leaving both to Justin. However, I do buy big tubs of cookie dough and pretend that I bake--thank you Costco. Yummm--Reagan enjoyed them fresh out of the oven---"Hot!!" as she says, and always in a whisper.

Appreciate the little things...

...like an uninterrupted shower. Before having a baby, I never realized how much I would appreciate the little things like, a shower, talking on the phone, eating, sleep...the list continues---and being able to do these little things without interruptions. This is a pic of Reagan in a portable booster-chair waiting for me to finish taking a shower---she is eating snacks and whipping around my bracelets. (Yes, I have to restrain my daughter in order to shower)-otherwise she would open up the door and come right in too. It has happened, so we came up with this plan and it has been awesome, for Reagan too, as she loves her snack time in the bathroom--highly recommended to any mother of a toddler wanting a shower!!

La-La Gay-Ga!!!

Otherwise known as Alligator---Reagan got a cool animal puzzle from friends Naomi and Natalie and since has been carrying around the alligator and saying, "La-La Gay-Ga."

Sprinkler Splash Pool

We had fun in the summer sun with the sprinkler splash pool!

But not all fun----Brrrrr!! It's cold from the hose!!

Out to lunch with Grandma

We went to visit Grandma at work and said hello to everyone. Then went to The Embassy Suites in St. Paul for lunch at a Pub. Reagan loved the ducks that they had in the pond in the lobby and time with Grandma!!

Pig Tails

Dress-Up Day!!

Here is a pic of Reagan acting not so lady-like and showing off her diaper...
Guess it is dress-up day!!

Cassette Tape?? What's that??

Reagan found a long lost cassette tape that we didn't even know we had!! It was inside an old CD/Cassette Tape player. Guess I won't be listening to Amy Grant Christmas Album this year!! Bummer!!

Where's Reagan's Belly Button???

Searching... Found It!! Toes??? We are working on eyes, ears, mouth and nose but she practically pokes an eye out and often sticks a finger up her nose once locating them!!

Bath-Time for Bongo!!

Reagan each night loves the tub or "Bath-Time for Bongo," as Justin refers to it as. She even sometimes during the day tries to crawl in when there is no water and is fully dressed.
