Catching Up

It seems like it's been forever since I have been able to blog. That is because it has been! So I have lots to share since it has been so long... hopefully blogger will cooperate. Anyone else having issues with blogger??

Reagan and I flew to Granddaddy and Grandmommy's house last week to be with her cousins for a few days. She is finally big enough for her big girl car seat, so we checked it as luggage and she got to ride in it for the first time home from the airport! (Thanks Alicia for picking us up!) She looks SO big in it!
Then we drove to Paris so I could pay Dr. Clint a visit. (Thanks again to Dr. Clint for that!!) She took her first nap in her new car seat. I actually took this picture. Probably not the safest thing to do while driving, but I just stuck the camera in the air and snapped it. Turned out ok.... :)
Adley came with us to Paris for a girls' trip! It was so fun, and she got x-rays of her teeth for the first time! Now, she is obsessed with going to the dentist. Thanks again for that Clint! Anyways, here is Adley getting to know sweet Roselyn, and showing her where her tooth is missing.
Reagan was of course super glad to see her BFF Roselyn. They played and played together. Funny, you can't always tell how much fun they are having from the looks on their faces.... Roselyn didn't know what to think about this loud girl who wanted to play with HER toys.
See how wrinkled her eyebrows are?!? Hilarious! "Move your hand... that is MY catepillar book!"
Reagan of course has her tongue out, concentrating on how to get Roselyn to share her block.
Roselyn looking to Rachel for some assistance! :)
Reagan found that funny!
Roselyn didn't understand what Reagan was so happy about!
After Paris, we went back to Grandmommy and Granddaddy's house for a few days. We got to go swimming with lots of friends, but I never got my camera out! Hopefully someone will send me some pictures from that day?! Anyways, I did get pictures of the sweet cousins swimming in the tub together. Notice Adley the Snaggletooth!
There is this new pizza place by my parents' house that has TONS of cool kid stuff. Movies, go carts, bumper cars, arcade games, mini golf... you name it. We took the kids there, but really only had time to eat and play a few games before bed time. But they/we had a blast! Reagan too. She stood at this game, stared at the lights, and slimed the plastic dome! Adley however got lots of tickets from it!!

Sweet Grandmommy stood there forever letting her "play."
Here is the slime...
I wish you could see this better! Her mouth is WIDE open and sucking on the plastic! It was so funny. The workers might not have thought so since they came by twice to wipe it down with Lysol!
The next morning the kids hung out in pj's and watched Noggin. They needed some down time after their fun night before! Could this BE any sweeter?!?!

We then spent the weekend, after David drove up, at Pop and Grammy's house. Reagan had so much fun, especially playing PeekaBoo with Pop.

"Here, Pop, I do it!"
Little naked girl, after her big throw up episode (yuck), getting to play with her cool new spinning toy while sitting on the table. Life is good for little girls...
Sweet smiley pic with Grammy!

Ok, that was the weekend. Here are just a few more random pictures from the last week or so. (And yes, Susan, Reagan likes to play with my scientific calculator. I didn't start this, she got it by herself out of the drawer!!) Anyways, here is Gloria being so sweet and just taking it.
This is normal everyday life for poor Gloria. Reagan just loves her!
For Aunt Julie:
Reagan's hair is finally long enough on top for a bow. This was the first attempt! :)
She would only leave it alone as long as she had goldfish in her hand. Typical.
Another first: the girl has learned how to clap correctly. She started clapping at 6 months, but would clap her right hand on the TOP of her left. Had done it wrong ever since, until last Sunday. She was sitting with her good friend Mr. Will, and he made her laugh and she just started clapping... for real. Honestly, it made me cry. She is just so big!
And... she got her first big girl toothbrush. Her is her first time with her cool new Baby Einstein toothbrush with the yummy toothpaste.

Must truly be an Einstein since she knew just what to do with it! Now, she wants to brush her teeth all the time!
I took these last pictures after she got the bow out that day. :) Her hair was nuts. I just loved the faces she was making, so I thought you might too. :)

Yea for learning how to clap correctly! How funny. I'm glad you had a good trip and was able to spend some time with family and friends. We need to check out that Pizza Place in Euless sometime too! :)

Oh I have missed you! I won't mention the fact that you were in town and didn't call me! I will say, I love seeing these sweet pictures and am so glad you were able to have quality time with your family, I know you treasure that time greatly as would I if I was stuck in Houston and everyone else was in DFW area.

A whole year old! Yeah, that one is a big one to swallow. It just gets sweeter, though, and more fun with each year. She sure is precious. Love y'all! Robyn
