Reagan still loves her baby toys

Reagan cracks me up every day. She has such a cute personality (and boy is she head-strong). Whew. Today, she decided she wanted to crawl into Maddy's walker. Keep in mind, it used to be Reagan's and she knows that.

I was getting lunch ready after church and my mom said "hey Cath, come look at this". I walked into the living room and there she was - in the walker. This time, however, she was smart enough to not put her legs in the seat. She actually just sat over the whole thing. But she just looked at me like "mama..." and just had a sad look.

I think it's cute. I hope she's not too jealous. Hopefully, one day, she'll read this blog and know just how much I love her.

Reagan loves to dance

Tonight, Reagan took Papa up to her room and made up this dance. I had to go up and get them for dinner. When I got up there, they were creating this dance. This dance had batons, it had curtains and it had flair.

When I got up there, she was hiding behind the curtiain - waiting for her curtain call. Cute. She and my dad did this dance. She waved her batons made out of lincoln log things and my dad looked like he was out of the 80s with his short batons (they looked like girly weights).

Not only did she dance, but she sang the whole time about how much she loved Papa. So darn cute. I wish I had my camera.

More?

Tonight, she signed "more" for the first time. Woo hooo

Noises

She is getting more and more vocal. We noticed this weekend that she's come up with a few more noises. She's got the Gi, gi (mouth open); goon goon (mouth closed); ma ma; dada; ja ja; baba and more. I can't even think of them all. But she is just talking.

First time in the playroom

Maddy went into the play room for the first time today. She got to play with Reagan's older toys and she had a ball. She explored every corner (not that there are many) and seemed to enjoy herself. I found a slinky when I was cleaning out the room and gave it to her. She loved that. She played with that for over 10 minutes. I was shocked. I love watching her explore.

Object permanence and humor

Tonight, Maddy was playing with some plastic lincoln connector things - one was a stick and one was a wheel. She loved to put the stick in her mouth, which was a problem for me. Every time I'd try to take it, she'd get so mad. So instead of trying to take it, I would just pull it out of her mouth. She had pulled up onto the couch and had the stick in her mouth and I decided to just take it and put it behind her on the coffee table. Whoa! It was like I had smacked her. She let out a yell that just shocked me. Boy did I make her mad. She got down, turned around and pulled up onto the coffee table and started looking. Her gaze went left and right. When she found it, she stopped crying, picked it up and smiled. Whoa!

Sharing

Reagan is really good at sharing, but sometimes she really doesn't like to share. She, at times, will be playing with something that Maddy wants. This is nothing too shocking, but it's so cute. Today, she actually just dropped the toy at Maddy's feet and walked away pouting. She sat herself in the chair and just pouted. I'm so proud of her. I know it's hard to learn how to share with a little sister. After all, she was used to being the baby. But she's so good.
