Wordless Wednesday~ the "chip sneak"

It's a $%&@*#! to get old...

From this (December 2009)...

to this (September 2011)...

Someone who shall remain nameless is having a hard time letting go of her baby years...

Me to Reagan:  "You're a big girl now. That was your car seat when you were a baby."

Reagan points to self and exclaims: "Baby Reagan!"

I remember

I remember exactly what I was doing when the first plane hit.

I remember what I was wearing...

I remember how I felt...

I remember praying and praying and praying...

For those who lost their lives, for those who lost family and friends and for those who fight for our safety every day...we salute you. We remember you. We pray for you.

Wordless Wednesday~ chalk!

It's beginning to look a lot like...

FALL!

*insert twirls and dancing here*

Oh fall, my favorite time of year... there is a chill in the air, leaves falling and pumpkin drinks at Starbucks!   

And with fall comes... vacation!  In just a few weeks, we'll pack up the car and head north to the lake.  I can't wait for new memories to be had, new pictures to be captured.

What is your favorite thing about fall? 

22 Months and growing...

Reagan turned 22 months last Saturday! 

On Monday she gave me a shocker with an actual full sentence: "Don't do that!" As she wagged a finger in my face... and I laughed. I couldn't help myself. 

She also loves to say:

"Please"
"Tank you"
"Lub you!"
"I do it."
"Come on mommy!"
"Watch Dora"
"Let's go downstairs"  (yes, where she gets to watch Dora)
"Comehere" (not a typo, it really does come out as one word)  :)

She loves to say the days of the week and does pretty good counting to 10.  Every day when I pick her up from daycare we do roll call of all her friends, cousins, G&G's, mommy and where daddy is *at work.*

She has such a fun personality.  Andy got home late Thursday night from a work trip so I said to her, 'tell daddy what you had for dinner.'  And she did. She rattled off everything she had eaten that night. Usually she just repeats what we say so... this was kinda a big deal. 

We had a little glitch with bath time but that seems to be under control now.  No more tears... She is doing better with veggies- she just gets tired of using her fork so we help.

She is putting on her own shoes and I can just see the day drawing near when she doesn't want to wear what I have picked out for her and instead, chooses her own outfit.  She loves playing 'makeup' with my makeup drawer and some days have to tell people- no, that's not a bruise. It's blue eye shadow.  Definitely a girly girl!

Here are some picks from the end of August, enjoy!


Always crosses her foot when deep in thought~

New "Bob bob pants" socks from G&G W.~

All she needs is a bucket of water~

Who doesn't vacuum with their pearls on?!

She is triumphant since grabbing my phone- she knows the phone is off limits... but knows it means she gets to hear 'bina!'

Bestie Carly~

Fun at the park~

Trying out daddy's new golf clubs~

Countdown is on for the birthday party celebrating 2 years....
