Catching up

So I've not been writing as much lately because she's been keeping me so busy.
Over the last week, she's done some pretty neat things.

She counted to six on Monday night while I was reading a Dora book to her which just shocked me. I had not been working on that with her other than reading that book. I'm guessing she's getting that from school. Woo hoo. She's now taking on and off her own clothes with minimal help and Tuesday night she started singing new songs to me before bedtime.

She's also stopped taking naps all together on the weekends. Hmmm. I spoke to her teacher at school and she said "she has to take a nap in the 2-year old room" so I guess she'll have a later bed time for a while. Oh well.

She's gotten really good at the memory game. Lauren came over to watch her on Tuesday while Jim and I went to karate. When I got home, Lauren kept telling me how impressed she was with her memory. We do play that with her a lot - I'm glad I got the game now. :)

She can also now do the wheelbarrow. I can hold her feet and she can walk forward on her hands. Holy cow.

And just today, I looked at her quickly and I swore she grew another year. Sigh..

2-year check up

She was actually really cute today. We got to the doctor's office and she sat up on the table. I grabbed my handy bag of crayons and let her go. She colored the entire piece of paper with every color of the rainbow. By the time the doctor arrived, she had a masterpiece.

The doc interacted with her. She asked all sorts of questions about her drawings and Reagan was all too eager to tell her all about it. She said she was impressed that she knew her colors well, numbers and could actually say full sentences. She even figured out that you could "reason with her". Yep you can - I do it every day. She's a smart cookie - I'm a proud mama. :)

One cool thing - we get to try peanuts, peanut butter, nuts, strawberries - as long as we have Benadryl on hand. Fun. No shellfish until age 3, but that's ok. I'm in no hurry for that anyway. She has yet to show signs of food allergies and I pray that she never gets my allergies. I hope that she gets Jim's which is nothing. Ooo and we get to go to 2% milk. Woo hoo.

So for her stats - apparently Reagan is tall. She is 37 inches to be exact! Holy Cow! I asked the nurse to double check. It was still 37 inches. So in 6 months, she's grown 2 inches and only 1.75 pounds. She is definetly slimming out.

Jesus Loves Me

Tonight, I was able to sing Jesus Loves Me to Reagan for the first time. Not only that, she sang it right back to me as well. How cool! I guess she is learning something at her sunday school class. :)

Reagan & Sean's first date (LOL)

Tonight, we met the Cahills out for a visit at the Newport Aquarium. Both Reagan and Sean we very excited to see each other. This was also Reagan's first trip to the Aquarium. When Sean arrived, she giggled with glee and they both ran to each other.

Both kids had a great time looking at the fish. They held hands and even hugged at times. Emily dubbed this "their first date". Awwww.

Reagan's favorite part (probably) was the shark petting area. She wanted to dive into the water with the sharks. She got such a kick out of being able to pet them. I think the other part she enjoyed was the large fish tank. She loved crawling into the bubble to watch the fish.

Unfortunately, I left the camera in the car so I had to use my camera phone (which stinks). I'll post some pics later.

I'll be right back

I asked Reagan if she had to go potty this morning. She hopped down off my lap and said "I go fart, poopy. I'll be right back" as she walked away waving her hand. She then proceded to walk up the stairs to go potty. LOL

I love Sean

she actually said it. uh oh.

New Years!

It's January 1st - that means a few things to me. 1) I made it through another year and Christmas season. 2) My daughter is 2years old which makes me wonder where time goes. and 3) I'm going to be 40 this year. Whoops.
