You make me laugh!

Somedays I don't know if I want to cry or laugh when dealing with you. Sometimes I just do both. Regardless you always make me laugh. Here are your latest antics.

When I put you in time out for being HORRID in the grocery store (to the point where a sweet grandma and grandpa came over to help me console you), I put you in timeout while I was unloading groceries. I poked my head in the living room to make sure you were still sitting down and you had taken your socks and shoes off and had your sock on your hand singing to it like a puppet. I hid in the laundry room while your dad and I laughed hysterically on the phone.

I gave you a warning for acting naughty and asked if you needed a time out. You answered with a serious yes and walked over and put yourself  in the time out corner. I didn't know if I should get you out or let you stay. This parenthood thing is confusing??!!

In order for you to focus while eating at the table I have to constantly sing songs to you or talk about the birdies out the window. If I don't pay attention, then it is all.over.

When you get scolded for something, you cutely start singing 'Twinkle Twinke' and doing the signs. You may be cute but this isn't getting you off the hook...okay...well sometimes it might work. ;)

The other day you were strolling around having a conversation on your phone while pushing your baby doll around in the stroller and carrying your purses all while wearing an arm full of bracelets. When I looked in your purse, I about died. You had tylenol (in a safe child-proof bottle...don't worry), neosporin and tampons. Haha! And the tampons became your favorite toy of the day. And yes...I tried to take them away from you and you were having none of it. So, I figured what the heck? Oh well.....  :)

I love you my funny and silly girl!

Chatty Cathy

Reagan is definitely my daughter and just chitter chatters all day long. I love it! She will "read" her books outloud to me, talk to her babies, tell me all about her day, sing to herself or whoever will listen, she loves to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to all of her new friends she meets. I'm sure they love it as much as I do. I am daily amazed at her vocabulary. Here's some of her newest words/sayings:

Purple

Yellow
Talking on her phone: "Hello. How are you? No. Okay. Bye Bye."
Water
Hot
Bar (Granola Bar)
(Teddy, Daddy) Where arrrrrreee you? Here she/he is!

Happy

Joy

Dora

Diego

Oh no!

Aww..man!

bracelets
outside
sandwich (loves grilled cheese and peanut butter & cinnamon honey from our local farmers market)
Banana
grape
apple (really an orange)
Nany (LOVES Fancy Nancy)
I eat this.
Nite Nite. (She loves to flip through Goodnight Moon and say "Nite Nite" on every page)
Fish
Lots of body parts: toes, knees, elbows, arms, belly button, ears, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth and tongue. She loves to sing 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes'
Shoes (OBSESSED with shoes! My kind of girl! We bought her sandals for next summer when they were on sale and she insisted on wearing them all week from the minute she got up until she went to bed that night. We eventually had to hide them).
Socks (DESPISES them. My girl!)
Shirt
Purse
One, two, three
Color
Marching
No, No, No (while she is shaking her finger at you...lovely)
Diaper (She is oh so smart and tells me when her diaper needs to be changed. She'll say diaper and go get her wipes and creams for me while I grab the diaper. What's even smarter is that she knows how to use this word to get out of certain situations...like when she doesn't want to sit at the dinner table with us she'll pull the 'diaper' card)
Favorite songs: Twinkle Twinkle, Wheels on the Bus, This Little Light of Mine, Jesus Loves Me, If You're Happy and You Know It.., The theme song to Diego, Dora and The Cat in the Hat (pretty annoying!) and I've Got Joy in My Heart (SO sweet when she points to her little heart!)
Here's her first take on a peanut butter sandwich. Not at all impressed. She is not a fan of jelly. I found the trick is a spoonful of homemade cinnamon honey from our local farmers market added to the peanut butter. YUM!

...TX continued...

The rest of our trip in Texas was much less exciting. We had a great time with almost daily playdates. I think it will be fun to look back one day and see who all of your playmates were, so here's a list of your dates for the week:
Hailey and Bryson Culver, Colton Grinstead, Preslee Holsworth, Hunter Turman and of course Kaleb and Chance.

To complete our trip, we had to pack up and haul booty back to Tennessee before you broke out in blisters. Yes...you somehow managed to catch hand, foot and mouth virus on top of having stitches. Can I even begin to describe how cranky and miserable you were? Poor thing. You ran fever the last day we were there and just stayed all curled up in my lap. When we got home, we were in quarantine for two weeks...super fun....and then I can caught strep throat from my one outting to the grocery store. I know..ridiculous.
