The Myers Family

Last week we were able to get together with one of my really good friends from college, Jane (Dalton) Myers and her family. While we've kept up via phone, e-mail, and most recently baby blogs, we haven't seen each other since Jane's wedding 5 years ago! That was far too long and we'll have to do better in the future!!! We finally had the perfect excuse to get together as we've both had babies in the last year and thought it was time for them to meet. We had a great time and think Wil is adorable! Thanks for driving up to meet us Jane, Bryan, and Wil! We can't wait to see you again and happy 5th anniversary! :)

Anna and Noah

Last week we went spent part of the day shopping with two of our baby friends Anna and Noah.

You look like you need a big kiss to get you going this morning Noah!
After shopping we headed back to Anna's house for a bit but Noah couldn't join us unfortunately. Reading together back at Anna's house

The Deckers

Last week we went to visit one of Grandma Sherry's best friends and her two beautiful grand daughters who were visiting her. Reagan thought they were both quite entertaining and we enjoyed the visit. Thanks for having us over!

Reagan's first game of "Pass the Pickle"

The Greatest Show On Earth

While Grandma Sherry and Grandpa Ted were visiting us in DC last weekend we went to Reagan's first circus. Actually it was my first real circus too! :) We all loved it and will definately be going back!!! Reagan was fascinated with everything but especially the elephants. We had a wonderful time and were glad Grandpa and Grandma could join us!

Selecting which items Reagan needs the most, that would be all of them... lol :)


Grandpa bought Reagan her first Cotton Candy and it sure was yummy!
Looks like we brought a clown home with us!

Reagan's New Tricks

The biggest news of the day is Reagan is almost walking. I tricked her into taking a couple of steps today. While Reagan was holding my hands I slipped them out of her grasp and lightly placed my fingers on top of hers. While I wasn't supporting her in anyway she only continues to walk as long as she feels my hand. As soon as I lift my hand she falls down. So, as we've suspected for a while now she can walk she just doesn't realize it. We'll keep working on it and keep you posted as to when Reagan is officially walking completely and totally on her own! :)

Reagan started blowing kisses while we were visiting Illinois. She especially enjoyed blowing Aunt Julie kisses. Now she prefers to blow kisses instead of giving you a kiss directly. While it's a bit difficult to capture a kiss being blown in still pictures, Great Aunt Faye asked us to have Reagan blow her a kiss once she started. So, this post is especially for you Aunt Faye! Thank you to Aunt Julie for the cute outfit! :)
Looks like Reagan is sending Aunt Faye an extremely juicy kiss!
While we were in Illinois Reagan was fascinated with Grandpa Jim's deer mounts. Grandma Karen and Reagan spent a lot of time playing/looking at the deer. One of the things Grandma Karen started was pointing/asking "where is the deer's nose? Reagan's nose?" We've kept this game up since returning home and this week Reagan has started pointing to her or your nose when asked. :) Here she is pointing to Daddy's nose.
Here's your silly bow, Mom
I crack me up! lol :)

Long Lost Buddies

We've been trying to get together with Reagan's buddies, Harun and Musa, for months but had to keep canceling because one or the other of the three was sick. Yesterday everyone finally managed to be healthy so we were able to get together for a playdate. Now that we're headed into spring and summer everyone will hopefully stay healthy and we'll be able to start our weekly playdates again. Thanks for having us over guys! We had a great time! :)
