christmas tree

We finally moved into our new house the day before Thanksgiving - talk about something to be thankful for! We decided to get our Christmas tree last Saturday, despite the fact that we still had numerous boxes that we hadn't unpacked yet. Luckily we knew right where the Christmas boxes were, so we dug right in and decorated our partially organized house. Reagan had fun helping out...

I apologize in advance for this post, it is really more for my journal than to entertain readers. My scrapbooking stuff is still packed somewhere, so in the meantime I prefer to keep track of things on the blog so I can't misplace them!

This past month has been a busy one for Reagan, here are some of the highlights:

• At exactly 13 months I finally decided it was time to wean her completely (mainly because I am pregnant).
• At Reagan's 13 month pictures Grandma finally convinced Reagan that it was okay to let go of things and walk on her own. It still took her a few weeks before she realized that walking is the faster form of locomotion. Right now she is trying to master running.
• Sometime shortly after she turned 13 months she cut her first molar. Yikes, that was a pain!
• Reagan developed her first two ear infections, and is now on her third antibiotic trying to get rid of them!
• Her favorite games are naming all of the food she has in her play kitchen. It is quite amazing! Some of her favorite foods to say are: apple, pear, pepper, grapes, potato, onion, orange, and tomato.
• She also loves to name animals. Her favorites include: hippo, doggy, kitty, ducky, lion, panda, zebra, giraffe, dolphin, and fishy.
• She says "amen" after our prayers, and says "thank you" when you give her something.
• Reagan knows where her ears and nose are. I've been working on mouth and eyes, but she isn't as interested in learning those ones yet.
• She likes to say, "shake, shake, shake" while she dances.
