17 Months!

SOOO big!

Today Reagan is 17 months old...just one more month and we are half way to two!!  I can't believe it!!  (as I know I say each month!)

Reagan is so busy these days!  She LOVES to read books, play with her blocks, push her baby in her stroller, love her baby, climb up on the kitchen chairs, crawl on our bed, climb up the steps, run around outside, sing "ABC's," dance, watch TV, snuggle in the mornings, coloring with crayons, saying "two," pulling zippers up and down, up and down, up and down!, and the list goes on and on!!!

Does she get this look honest? :)

Reags has really been starting to talk a lot more everyday.  I feel like she is just taking off with her words.  I can't even begin to type all of the words that she knows, but she is starting to even combine two words together.  "Help me" is her current favorite!  It's also funny when we watch The Fresh Beat Band she will now say "ate ay" which I'm assuming is "great day,"  their catchy little ending song. 

The best is getting Reagan up in the morning.  If Keith goes in to get her you hear, "DA! DA!" echoing throughout the house and the same for "MA! MA!"  It's so sweet and she loves to come snuggle in bed with us in the morning to watch her shows.  ESPECIALLY Kai-Lan, which has been the case for MONTHS now!  I have finally gotten smart and just DVR every Kai-Lan so that we have it.  Thank goodness because Reags has been sleeping until 7:00 or a little later, which makes her miss "Kuh-Lan." 


What else?!  Reags is a great eater.  If she doesn't want something she has no problem telling you "no."  She loves fruit, toast, bread, spaghetti or ANY pasta, chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, hot dogs, london broil, roasted potatoes, chicken dipped in apple sauce, and "m's."  She loves to have a few "m's" especially if she sees Momma sneak a few!  Our little monkey is FINALLY starting to like a sweet or two....I know most mom's don't want their kids to eat sweets, but I just think it's cute...PLUS, I have the biggest sweet tooth ever, so it's bound to keep developing.


Oh, dancing!  Reagan loves to dance...she is hilarious.  She loves "Stuck like Glue" by Sugarland, I can't even count the number of times we have listened to that.  Apparently she likes Justin Beiber too because when you say "whoa-oh-oh-oh whoa oh-oh-ohhhh" Reagan will chime in with "bay-be, bay-be, miiiine."  I feel like it's something I need to send into the Ellen DeGeneres show you know? :)  It's pretty cute!


Some Stats:
Weight:  I'm assuming probably around 27 or 28 pounds.
Diaper:  Size 5
Clothes:  24 months - 2T, but it totally depends on the brand.  A lot of 24 months are still too long!


With this age comes some fits I do believe...we are starting to get into throwing a little tantrum if she doesn't get what she wants, but the power of distraction is a BEAUTIFUL thing! 


The joy that this little girl brings to our life is unexplainable!  She is just such a precious addition to our family and we can't believe how big she is getting!!  It is pretty impossible to be in a bad mood when you are surrounded by her contagiously happy self! 

We love you SOOOO much Reagan Mae!!
