Pink Pillow Pet

Tonight, Reagan went to bed in Reagan fashion. Not so easy. We take a bath, we read books, we say our prayers and we go to sleep... well, she doesn't really go to sleep. She stays up to read and play in bed. Well, tonight, after two hours, she figured out she didn't have her pink pillow pet. She left it at my parents. I knew that and had asked Jim to go get it on his ice cream run.

When she freaked out, I asked Jim where it was. He didn't bother to get it. Why the heck doesn't anyone listen to me!!! So I had to call, wake up my dad and then go get it. He laughed. Jim just complained. But the funny thing is that he doesn't and won't stay awake with her when she's up and down. So I got the pillow pet from my dad.

Reagan went right to sleep. Damn if I'm right!

Things about Maddy

She's starting saying baba and making the sign for it. We're not sure she totally gets it, but she might. She asks for Daddy. Cries for Mommy. Loves her sisters a lot. She LOVES to sit in her walker - we're waiting for her to figure out how to walk in it. Hates to swing. Loves to play. Loves to stand even more and chew. She can't sit still. She loves her red fox and gets cranky when she's bored or tired.

She loves her daycare. She loves Rita a lot. I'm glad. She makes me feel comfortable. I love listening to her wake up so happy in the morning. She's never mad unless she's sick. She has an infectious laugh - you can't help laughing when she does. She loves to be tickled and loves to play with your face.

I think the thing I like most about feeding her is she looks at me. She watches my eyes and plays with my face and lips. If my eyes smile, she smiles back. If she grunts, I grunt back. I love her.

Teeth?

Holy Cow! I think she's got buds coming through soon. I was able to see into her mouth for the first time when she yawned. I saw two white lines on her bottom gums. Holy Cow! She's had a couple of white marks on her gums for a while - one on top, one on bottom. But I'm convinced she's getting teeth soon.

Ms. detailed

She looks at everything. She isn't content to just be picked up and hang out. She has to look around. She also gets super frustrated when she can't see or reach something. Its really neat to watch her strain to see things. O love her curiosity.

Memory is impressive

I read Reagan a book tonight on dinosaurs and I was shocked by her memory. As soon as I turned the last page, she started talking about the fine details of the book. The number of mean dinosaurs vs. the nice ones. Happily ever after and more things that I was just amazed by.

I find that really interesting because it goes hand in hand with what her teacher said - she's got a great memory. Shockingly good. Uh oh!

Good morning mobile

This morning about 6:30 am, I heard a crash from Maddy's room. I figured it was something she had thrown over her bed. I got up, took a shower and then went upstairs to feed her. Nope - it was the mobile. She had pulled it down over top of her. It was lying across her body and legs. She was laughing. Thank goodness it didn't land higher - it would have cracked her in the head. Guess it's time to lower the mattress.

Broccoli and apples?

Really? That's a good combo? I tried it with Maddy. She was okay with it, but after about six bites, she held her lips together. Ha ha
