Reagan on the move

Reagan is such a little doll. She is so animated and getting more active every day. She's crawling, pulling up, and even trying to stand on her own! I need this child to slow down a little.
These pictures were taken tonight.

The face of sheer determination. She'd spotted one of Sam's toys that she needed to have in her cute little hands.


She was able to pause in her work to smile for the camera. (Can you see our two bottom teeth?)


Oops...got distracted by Daddy making her laugh!

...and Mama grabbing her for a quick picture....


...back to the task at hand! This is the view of Reagan that we enjoy most these days!!!!

Exploring New Places












We took a fast trip to visit Nana and Pops a few weeks ago. Scott and the crew worked on updating the landscaping at their house and the kids and I took off to explore the local Children's Museum. It was a fun way to pass some extra time that we had!

Reagan

Reagan said "mama."

I.love.this.child.

There is not much sweeter than your baby crawling over to you and pulling up on your leg only to then open that tiny mouth and say "mama."

Melt my heart!

Riding in the car...

Me: Sam, would you for Momma to have another baby some day? You could have a new brother or sister?

Sam: (looking very perplexed - turns to look at Reagan in her car seat) But Mamma, this sister is nice.

I was laughing so hard. He thought we'd have 'give Reagan back!'

I assured him that we would be keeping Reagan!!!

P.S. I just realized if you make this picture bigger you can see a booger in Sam's nose...that's life with a toddler for you! I'm leaving it. :)

More fun times with Sam....

This morning on the way out the door....

Sam: Hold me, Momma.

Me (holding Reagan): I can't right now Sam. I'm holding Reagan.

Sam: Why?

Me: Because Reagan is too little to walk. You are bigger and you can walk.

Sam: But Momma, she growing up!

lol...he's starting to put so much together. :)

Fun times with Sam

Last night we were sitting at the dining room table and Scott got a phone call on his cell phone. He got up to go outside to talk on the phone (because we can't get good coverage inside our home!!!) and Sam wanted to go out with him. We had the following conversation.

Sam: Momma, I want to go outside with Daddy.

Me: OK. Let me wash off your face.

Sam: Ray Ray go outside with Daddy?

Me: No, Reagan is too little. She needs to stay inside with Momma.

Sam: Only the big boys go outside?

Me: Yes, only the big boys go outside.

I open the door for Sam and he goes outside.

Sam to Scott: Hi, big boy!

This kid cracks me up!

Summer 2009

Lots of pictures below in no particular order showcasing our summer fun!

Reagan at 6 1/2 months - this smile will melt your heart! She is officially crawling and saying a couple words - "bubba" and sometimes "da da."


Watching fireworks with Momma in the car




We went to the aquarium and this is how Reagan enjoyed most of it!


Very first bite of food...a little banana. She is 5 months old in this picture.


We are now BIG fans of our local children's museum. Sam loved playing on the tree.


There is a mini HEB (grocery store) and he spent time carefully picking out the foods we would need for lunch.



The music room is a lot of fun. Sam took a turn showing off his skills on the piano.


Sam loves to help with Reagan. Here he is feeding her breakfast before we left for the museum.


I LOVE this one! Sam looking out the kitchen window.


We did a little photo shoot in the backyard. I thought Reagan's yellow dress would look neat with the green grass. I loved this shot. She is still such a happy, easy-going baby. Her personality is developing more and it's so fun just to watch her grow and change.


Sam wanted to give her a kiss, but Reagan wasn't quite sure what to think of it!

Every good photographer knows when to call it quits! This was our last shot. :)


Reagan in the jumperoo...5 months.


The kids playing on the living room floor.


More fireworks in the car. Reagan has two teeth...she loves to chew on her fingers.


Scott...July 4th

Reagan enjoying the fireworks show in Honey and Papa's front yard.


Honey and Sam waiting on the next firework.


Sam and Daddy....July 4th


Sam with a sparkler. Yes, we let our two year old hold sparklers.


Sam posing for the camera.


Reagan loving her high chair. She thinks she is one of the big people when she sits and plays in he high chair!
