Writing her first letters

Since she's been at her new school, Reagan has started to write. Actually, I should say, try to write. It's cute. The other day she drew an "A". It was actually pretty close. Then randomly she drew the number "2". Again, not doing much than encouraging it because it's been so random.

Tonight, she drew the letter "R". It was deliberate and not too bad. We had asked her how to spell her name (which she knows how) and then asked her if "she could write the letter R". She said "of course I can" and did. It looked more like a circle with two legs, but she definitely knew what she was trying to do. I was amazed. Uh oh... I'm not sure I'm ready for her to grow up so fast.

How cool is that?

That is probably Reagan's favorite thing to say... "How cool is that?"

and she sleeps...

On the way home from lunch today, Reagan had a complete meltdown. It was so bad that she, predictably, peed in the seat. She didn't even know she did it.

When we got home, we had to strip her down and wash her bottom half. After that, I somehow managed to convince her to take a rest - play on her room or read books.

She didn't fight too much. She crawled up on her bed, arranged her animals and went to sleep. Silence.

That was an hour and a half ago.

She likes hair

Today at church, Maddy and I were in the nursing room hanging out during the message. I was playing with her and started playing with my hair. She was immediately captured by my hair falling. She started giggling and cooing. It was adorable.

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.

Mvoing up to 6 ounces

Tonight Maddy moved up to 6 ounces of formula in a feeding. In the mornings, she still does ok on ounces (plus me), but tonight she was super hungry. My little baby is growing... sniff sniff

No Mas?

Today I asked Reagan if she wanted "any more...". She said "no mas mama"

Wow
