Cookie Monster In Training

Reagan absolutely loved the chololate chip cookie (sorry, double chocolate chip cookie) Grandma Karen and Grandpa Jim gave her for Valentine's Day. It was a good thing Grandma Pat sent Reagan a Valentine's Day bib because boy did she sure need it!

This is pretty good stuff!
It might be messy, but it sure is yummy!
I'd say this cookie deserves a big thumbs up too!
All done! I need another coo-kie!

Valentine's Day

Thank you to everyone who sent us Valentine's Day gifts! We loved reading our Valentine's books from Grandma Sherry& Grandpa Ted as well as Aunt Jolene and Uncle David. We also enjoyed our flowers from Daddy and Uncle Scott. The toys and cookies from Grandma Karen & Grandpa Jim as well as Grandma Pat were so much fun! We feel very lucky to have so many people who love us!

Enough pictures! Can I play with my gifts yet???

Roses from Uncle Scott

Yesterday Reagan received her first bouquet of Valentine's Day roses from Uncle Scott. They were so beautiful! Thank you so much for the flowers!!! :) Reagan was quite determined to eat her roses but Mommy didn't think that was a very good idea...
These roses are so pretty
They smell so nice too!

Valentine's Gifts from Grandma Pat

Yesterday Reagan received a package in the mail from Grandma Pat. It had this cute bib along with a necklace, braclet, and rattle. Thank you for all the fun gifts Grandma!!! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Grandma Sherry gave Reagan some of her famous sugar cookies for Valentine's Day (all shaped like hearts of course). Reagan has been loving them all week and gets extremely excited as soon as she sees them coming! Since it is Valentine's Day we decided it would be okay if Reagan had a cookie after breakfast this morning. Reagan thought that was a pretty good idea too. We hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Day!

You're giving me a cookie for breakfast?

That works for me!
This cookie deserves a big thumbs up!
Would you like a bite?
Too late now, all gone!!!

More Standing

While Reagan frequently stands quite a bit at home she has been increasing this talent lately by picking things up. I was impressed today when she reached over to pick up a bottle and stood back up to drink it. I also wanted to post these pictures since Reagan refused to stand all weekend while we were in Kentucky. I know Grandma Sherry wanted to see Reagan do it but she just wouldn't perform! :) Reagan says she's definately not a little dancing monkey! Speaking of Kentucky... I'm working to get those pictures together and hope to have them posted soon!

Grandma and Grandpa LaBar

After visiting Illinois we went back to Michigan with Grandpa Ted. Then we came back to Tennessee for our final stop on our trip. Actually, we had originally hoped to stop in Ohio to see the Hamlins but unfortunately that didn't work out. We sure hope we get to see them later this year!

Great Grandpa and Grandma Gensler

We were able to visit Great Grandpa and Grandma a couple of times while we were in Tennessee. As you can see Reagan thinks they're pretty special!


They decided to give Reagan an early birthday present since they weren't sure they would see her for her birthday. The bear sings and is absolutely adorable but Reagan wasn't quite so sure she liked it. Actually, she cried. She'll hopefully like it better by her birthday! lol :)

Sligers

While we were in Tennessee some of the Sligers came to visit. We had a nice visit and hope to catch all of them again next time we're in town! Reagan was super cute in an outfit the Sligers gave her for Christmas when we saw them in December. Thanks! Haley and her boyfriend Andy

Reagan's First Pancake

One morning Grandma, Mommy, and Reagan went out to breakfast at IHOP and Reagan discovered pancakes. We started out giving her a few bites and before we knew it she had eaten an entire pancake! We had to order a second one especially for her. While we intially tore up small pieces for her to eat, once she was full we gave her what was left of the second pancake to check out.
Can I fit the entire pancake in my mouth?

Reagan's First Pedicure

While we were in Illinois Aunt Julie decided it was time for Reagan to have her first pedicure. Reagan was so fascinated with what was going on she sat quite still for the first foot. The second foot was a little more challenging and I believe a couple of toes got painted along with the toenails. lol :) Aunt Julie fixed it all though and Reagan ended up with beautiful bright pink toenails! Thank you Aunt Julie for being so much fun! :) What are you doing to my toes?
Reagan didn't understand why she needed to sit still for her toes to dry...
Look at my beautiful toes!
Time for a taste test...

Hanging Out with Jenna & Other Friends

Reagan gave Jenna a matching outfit for Christmas. As you can see from her face Reagan loves spending time with Jenna! :) Daddy's best friend Andy is pretty cool too
Look at the awesome Christmas presents Jenna gave me!

Lueker Family Christmas

This year we celebrated the Lueker Family Christmas at Uncle John and Aunt Denise's home. We had lots of fun and enjoyed seeing all the Luekers, although we did miss Vic and Emily! Hopefully we'll catch everyone when we're home for Easter!

We finally caught Lauren and Kate for a picture with Reagan - too bad we still missed Emily!

Aunt Jean is fascinating and so much fun!
