I have been so so bad about keeping up with Reagan and how she is changing, she is getting so so big and so much fun!!! Here are a few new things (or alot of things) that Reagan is doing these days....
-Reagan weighs about 23 pounds (she is a big one I tell ya) and is in about the 15-20th percentile for her weight. She is in size 4 diapers and wears size 18-24 month clothes.
-Reagan is a DANCING QUEEN. She loves to dance, and will dance anywhere, anytime. Anytime a song comes on, the girl is getting down!!!! She dances in the van, she dances at church, at school, but her favorite place to dance is in the livingroom.
-Reagan is talking more and more each day!!! She is super cute and I love to watch her grow and change!!! Some of my favorite things she says are: sorry (as she pats my face) anytime she does anything that she feels was not very nice; dance (which sounds mostly like dance, but not exactly, but with her dancing motions, is a sure sign that is what she wants to do!; Lets go, which is more like (eh go), along with grabbing my hand and taking me wherever it is that she wants to go; Nannie (which is her version of Annie), which is her favorite puppy whom she loves dearly; Mommy, of course is one of my favoites, especially when I hear her yelling Mommy Mommy from the living room when she hears me come home from work; Papaw, which she calls all olderly men that she sees, which is pretty darn cute; scary (very dramatic like, eyes wide like she is terrified) when she is watching THe Little Mermaid. Note: I do not make her watch the little mermaid even though she thinks its "scary", she insists on watching it while repeatedly saying "its scary, its scary." Another recent favorite is "I'm stuck", and she says it ALL the time, especially when she is in her carseat,its constantly "Im stuck, Im stuck!" There are many many more, but these are a few of my favorites at the moment!!!
-Reagan is very strong willed and independent and did I mention strong willed. My oh my do I have my hands full with this one!!! Thank God she is so stinkin cute!!!! He knows what he is doing:-) At that moment, Reagan is pushing me as far as she can, and then sometimes farther. Strong willed, did I mention that yet, yeah, thats our girl!!! Reagan's also in a stage where she throws temper tantrums. I am trying my best to make it through this stage. Reagan also bangs her head on the floor at times when she wants me to know she is frustrated or mad, and I have been told, I do not really believe it, but I have been told that I did the same thing when I was her age!!! I am totally starting to read parenting books and am registered for a parenting class because I am LOST right now as to how to deal with this strong willed child of mine:-)))))))
-Reagan is loving her movies these days, and her favorites are anything with puppies or animals in them (101 Dalmatians, Fox and the Hound, Lady and the Tramp, Jungle Book); she is also a HUGE Buzz Lightyear fan. I bought her a Buzz Lightyear stuffed action figure, he is pretty much as big as she is, if not bigger, and she LOVES him!!! She takes him for walks, she feeds him, she puts diapers on him, she puts him to bed. Buzz comes everywhere with us, he has his own seat and seatbelt right next to her, and he even sleeps with her!!! Its pretty cute!!
-Reagan is one tough little cookie!!! This girl can tumble off the couch face first and not even bat an eye!!! Good thing she is so tough, because she also likes to climb on everything, and occassionally falls off things!!!! She also loves to take off running without paying attention to where she is, and at least two times a day she smacks right into a wall or some piece of furniture:-)
-Reagan has the best facial expressions, you can totally read her every mood based on her face!!! Her sweet face totally lights up with a smile when she is happy, when she laughs, her whole face and body laugh, when she is mad, watch out, she will not hesitate to give you a dirty look:-)When she is suprised, her face screams it, when she is sad, she sticks that bottom lip out and you know she is sad. When she is scared, her eyes are as wide as they can be!! She can't hide her emotions, because they are written all over her face!!!
-I am so enjoying where we are right now, and so enjoying our sweet baby girl who is not so much a baby anymore!!! Sometimes I do not feel that I am going to make it one more day, and then that girl flashes me a light up my world smile, and I am putty in her hands, and so thankful for everything, the good and the bad, the easy and the hard, the fun and the not so fun!!! I will enjoy each day knowing that someday, I am going to miss this!!!!
