Crazy day

Oh my. I am just amazed at how much Little Reagan can do in one day. Wow!

Today I was watching her on my own. Jim was off with Dad helping him move into the new house down the street. We all thought they'd be done by 4pm or so... nope. So while I had a blast watching little Reagan all day, I am worn out! Wow.

She is so funny. Today we climbed stairs, played on the piano, played with her toys, played with her doggie, loved on the dogs, walked around (holding on to me) and the list could go on. That was just this morning. She took a nap about 100pm today - for 2.5 hours. Yea! I took that time to go do my DVDs. I did a double workout. Can I tell you that was a mistake in hindsight. Ugh.

So when she got up, she was so clingy. We sat on the floor together (her in my lap) and watched Baby Einstein and ate Cheerios. We all ate Cheerios including Carson and Sydney. At one point, I had to use the bathroom. So I picked her up and brought her with me. I stopped by the mirror in the bathroom and she opened up her hand to point and out dropped two Cheerios into Jim's sink. I left them there.

The cool things about today.
1) Reagan took two steps. Not totally controlled so I can't officially say she took two steps, but she wasn't flying from one item to the other. It's close.
2) She is saying "mom" very well now. She actually gets the "m" on the end of it.
3) She now will come with me when I leave the room. I just said "come on" and she did.
4) She finally was able to get into the dog bowl and play. I left the room for a second and that is all it took. She was soaked from head to toe in dog water. Oh well.
5) She stood up completely balanced several times today. Each time I didn't react because when I do, she throws herself down. I just watched. I'm impressed.
6) She's squatting again. She squats to do lots of things now. Again, it's a precursor to standing and then walking.
7) She can lift a five pound weight - or at least move it about an inch. Ugh. My little Hercules.
8) She has now hit me so hard on the nose that my eyes watered and I could see anything for several seconds. I was trying to grab the phone out of her hand and she swung it right at my nose. Yes there is a small bruise. Oops.
9) She ate soap. She took a bite and some stayed in her mouth. Boy oh boy did it make her mad when we tried to scrape it off her teeth.

I think that's it. So much in such a short but long day.

Now she's sleeping like a little angel.
