Teeth!

I feel a little sharp edge in Reagan's mouth - finally at nearly 11 months she is getting her first tooth. It's just a very small ridge poking through, not sure if I can even see it yet but it's there on her bottom gums. Yeah for her!

New pictures

Dad's Birthday

These were taken on Dad's Birthday, we went over to visit and spend some time down at the lake sledding and playing on the ice. Reagan does not enjoy being out in the cold so we spent very little time outside. Piper was having a blast though running around on the ice and collecting snow balls in her sled. It was pretty cold with the wind by the time we got outside so it was a quick trip.

The Little Gym

Her are the pictures from her first class at the Little Gym. We signed her up for a gymnastics class once a week from now until June. This will be really good for her, it was fun to watch her, she is so independent. It took her a while to warm up to the group but she joined in and then slipped in and out of taking directions. It's funny, as the teacher was explaining the obstacle course Piper watched for about 2 seconds and then ran right over to figure it out her own way, that is so like me, "yeah, yeah, ok, just let me figure it out, I'll ask questions later".

New things

I put a photo album on the site, I think I'll just post monthly pictures to that kind of like I did with Piper's original site. It's on the right hand side and I'm not sure how I'll work it all out when I switch over to March but I'll keep you posted.

Reagan is really changing lately. She started with army crawling in Florida and was very slow for quite a while. Well in the past two weeks she's now very quick and getting much better at keeping herself up on her hands and knees in a typical crawling fashion. Her latest thing though is finally pulling herself up to a standing position. That is new this week. Previously I'd have to pull her up. She takes her little walker all over the living room and kitchen. She's not too great at the stearing yet but Piper helps (much to Reagan's displeasure) and I help too. She wants to walk so badly but she's not ready to try to stand on her own yet. She is definitely on her own schedule and doesn't like to be pushed. Still no teeth in site, she is in no hurry to get her teeth even though I've stopped with the baby food and she just eats anything we do, it's getting to be quite a pain to mush everything though, I'd like her to get some teeth.

Piper is such a little handful. Each day is a new adventure with her. Where to start, man, she is testing the limits, testing testing testing! She's also starting to talk a lot clearer (at least we notice it) and using more thought behing her sentences. It's pretty cool. She has quite the memory too, it's fun when we're out driving, she tells me - hey bank mamma - she points out my old school and our church and the scary thing is she sees a McDonald's and knows that too. Her favorite store was Home Depot for a while there, she recognizes that too. She's not too fond of Target which is our number 1 destination. Her most recent thing is she has become a puppy. She's always crawling around and barking and panting (which I think is creepy) but overall it's pretty cute. Jason isn't so sure about this phase but I assured him that it's very normal and actually showing her creativity and imagination.

Well we have been sick for the entire past week. Piper, Reagan and Jason have had a miserable cold, their noses are all red and a little crusty, it's been a gross week for Mommy. I have some how seemed to manage this cold, my symptoms have been less severe than everyone else's. Hopefully that will hold up, usually I wait until the girls are better before I catch it and then am miserable with two active girls. Maybe Jason took one for the team this round. What a guy!
