16 Months and Growing...

Today Reagan is 16 months and growing!

Unfortunately, her 15 month well child visit turned into a sick visit... on Friday, peanut had a 103 temp, ear infection and upper respiratory infection. Not a happy camper! She weighed exactly 24 lbs on the scale but was so upset about being weighed that the nurse couldn't check her height. She is still 60th percentile for weight, so she is right on track!

Favorite foods: Rice, mac n cheese, pita chips with hummus, (diced) grapes, pizza, veggie burgers, Boca chicken nuggets, and green veggies (let's hope that one sticks through adolescence!).

This week we switched out her night-time bottle for a sippy cup and she never looked back! Honestly, what I thought was going to be such a hard transition was so easy. We also added teeth brushing to her nightly routine. She is hesitant with the brush but loves to 'help' me brush.

Favorite words: Hi, bye bye, thank you, meow, woof, moo, mommy, daddy, birdie, uh oh, apple, nana, baba (for sippy) and night night.

She loves playing with her friends and cousins as well as playing on her Leap Frog piano and loves having us read her lots and lots of books. Here are some pics from the week, enjoy!

New buggy for walks outside in the springtime!






"Hey mom, is there any ice cream up here?"



"I better check it out..."


"I see a birdie!"


"I want the cheese!"
"And maybe some milk..."

Life Lessons

....From kitchen magnets.

I have this one front and center on my fridge.

It got me through 20 months of negative pregnancy tests. 3 years of graduate school. 1 year of Weight Watchers (okay, so maybe that one wasn't the best example)...

I'm hoping it'll get me through my next career move as well.

Adventures in coloring, Part I







Who needs a Super Bowl...

....When there's a Puppy Bowl on!

The Puppy Bowl is an annual tradition in our household and Peanut was mesmerized with all the puppies. She shrieked with laughter watching them play. Her favorite was the black lab!

Birthday Schmirthday

It's that time of year again...when the gray hairs multiply, the wrinkles pop up and the aches and pains don't go away. Another year on the books!

Andy and I had a rare treat this year for my birthday- date night! Thanks to G&G W. for watching peanut over night while Andy and I enjoyed adult conversation that did not include: sippy cups, blankies or 'wanna read Brown Bear for the 50th time?' Don't get me wrong, we did miss peanut but sometimes date night must prevail. :)

Getting ready to hit the town~
Saturday night we gathered the Wallace clan at our house for yummy appetizers, pizza and cake! We had a great time relaxing and the cousins enjoyed their play time as well!

Jack was anticipating the frosting (hence the spoon headed for the cake) just as I was!



"Cheese!"



What a great way to celebrate another year young. I'm so thankful for the blessings in my life!
