Slapping the paper

Reagan loves to create games for her and Maddy to play. The latest one is done when they are running around the house. She hung a piece of paper on our bar counter in the kitchen and every time they run past it, they slap it. I'm not sure why. But they both do it without thinking about it now. It's kinda funny.

Hungry Hungry Hippos

Reagan has gotten totally infatuated with the game "Hungry Hungry Hippos". It actually is quite fun to play. But man is it loud. Very loud. And when games are loud, so is my daughter. :) I do love watching her competitive spirit come out playing this game. Very aggressive. Perfect for her. ;)

Matching game

Reagan is getting really good at the Memory Game. Tonight, we played in the bonus room and she beat me. I wasn't paying attention to try to help her, but she still did great. I was impressed how well she remembered things. We started with five pairs. She got bored with that. She pulled out six more pairs and wanted them in the mix. She won against both my mom and me. :)

Go fish

Jordan taught Reagan a new game today - Go Fish. She loves it. She played with her for over 30 minutes today. Anything that is a matching game, she loves. I think she may have created a card monster.

Video games already?

Reagan has quickly learned how to play the new Kinect games on the XBOX 360 console. With the wave of your hand, you move through menus. She has conquered that skill pretty well. She's also pretty good at the Adventure games, especially the Water rafting and the kickball type game. Tonight, she actually got a silver in a game that some adults struggle to get a bronze in. Why? because she just plays. She doesn't really try to win or do what she's supposed to. She flails her body in all types of ways that ends up connecting with the balls. So she wins. Way too cool.

Can she pull up yet?

I also started a new game with her today. We started off laying down and got her to pull up to sitting, then standing. Once I got her there, I would bounce her up and down and throw her a few times. She got into that game pretty quickly. By the end of the day, she was pulling up from lying down on her own pretty well.
