Little Feet - Little Arches

I know this sounds stupid, but I am starting to see little arches form on the bottom of Reagan's feet. I was looking at them today and realized there was a curve to the bottom of her chubby little feet. How cute. It's amazing isn't it!? She is so tiny. It is just an incredible experience watching her grow every day.

Thanksgiving on Saturday

Today we went to Papa Carman's for Thanksgiving dinner. Reagan did great. She warmed up to everyone fairly fast and did just fine. I think she REALLY like Aunt Rhonda. Although, I'm not sure if there is anyone who doesn't like Aunt Rhonda.

She definelty took to Papa Carman. She played with him, danced with him and even played peek-a-boo. She also developed a fondness for Tyler, one of Rhonda's boys. She tried to help him play Warcraft on his computer a few times. He was very patient with her. You can tell he's been around little kids.

We stayed late enough that she slept on the way home. But as soon as we got home, she wanted to play. She got down on the floor and made her way over to her little piano. (I think it's her favorite toy). She loves to play the music and dance to it. When the music stops, she slaps the keys to get it going again.

Twist and shout

I watched Reagan twist her body for the first time today. She was playing with Papa Carman and instead of bouncing she started twisting. I couldn't believe it. When did she learn how to do it?

Big day of stuff

Okay, she's done some pretty neat things today.

First of all, I think she's a little dare devil. I watched her several times trying to take a step or two without holding on. The most ccrazy one was when she launched herself from the coffee table to the couch taking two steps in the process. She landed and laughed all at the same time. How cute!

Then tonight during her bath, she thought bobbing for letters would be fun. By the time I figured out what she was doing, she had already stuck her face into the suds and come back up soapy! Oh my. She smiled. It didn't phase her one bit.

Oh and her teeth - more are coming in. She not only has the front four coming in, but her gums are very thick on the sides - both top and bottom. She is also starting to cut another tooth in the top right part of her mouth. Wow.

One last thing... over the last few weeks, she's tried to go to one nap. Today she did it. Ugh. I think she's right on the edge of only needing one nap per day. Wow. Can you believe it?

Early Morning

This morning came early dispite the fact that we all slept fairly well. Reagan woke up very happy and ready to go. I let her play in her crib for a little bit before I went to get her. When I showed up, she still wasn't ready to get out of the crib. She was still playing - so I waited.

So now I am just watching her play. She is very independent in her play time. She let's me know when she wants someone around - she just turns around. If not, she plays with her back to the crowd. Intersting huh?

Before I left her to play alone, we were working with the shape sorter. I was surprised to find that she knew where the circle, square and the 4-pointed shape went. Wow. She was able to put all the rest in except the triangle with me showing her where they went. Wow!

Now she's hanging out with her toys trying to put together her balls.

Ball

She definetly knows what "Ball" is in sign language. We were sitting at the table after Thanksgiving dinner and Zach brought Reagan a couple of balls. When she saw them, she reached and then made the sign. She didn't just do it once, she did it multiple times while they were playing. Wow.

Bunny in the classroom

This morning I dropped Reagan off at LRS and there was a bunny in her classroom. Bev and Amy were being so quiet about it. THey said "she hasn't seen it yet". That got me curious. When I realized there was a pet in the class I wanted my camera (of course).

Once Reagan saw it, she got very very curious. She pointed and shrieked at it. She then started to crawl after it. She had absolutly no fear. The poor bunny (Elvis) was hanging out under the baby swings. Reagan poked her little head under them and tried to pet him. She actually got her index finger on his nose once or twice. I'm not sure, but it ran the other direction.

She cornered it in an Exersaucer next to the dryer. She was talking the whole time. Poor bunny. Reagan just wanted to play. So darn cute.
