double digits!

The kids and I were in the playroom one Sunday afternoon when Reagan surprised us all and started crawling! She was motivated by a contraband Nerf bullet and the boys got *so* excited for her! There's no going back now-- she is quick as can be and never in one spot for long. She's quick to find any and every tiny piece of paper, mulch, etc. and shove them in her mouth but Nerf bullets are still her favorite thing to find (although hopefully I've rounded up all of them)! She figured out that the best crumbs are under our table so we find her under there pretty often.

Jake figured out that he can make Reagan chase the remote control cars! Its entertainment for both of them.



She loves to eat table food now and rarely has pureed baby food. She's pretty adept at feeding herself and can put away almost as much food as her brothers do; the other night she ate an entire quesadilla that was the same size I gave her brothers! (Surprisingly, black bean burger patties are one of her favorite foods!)

Reid wanted to help Reagan eat her spaghetti so badly! He barely eats without making a huge mess, yet he patiently helped her eat her entire bowl!

Such a fun summer! Children's Museum, slip n slides in the backyard, splash pads...anything to deal with the heat!

The week that Deric was at camp, the kids and I ate lunch at the library every single day. Reagan always beelined to this little game on the floor and it made me think I should tape some stickers to our floor to keep her busy!

Back again, another day!

She also pulled herself up for the first time at the library! We really love our library.

Reagan survived our hike at Turkey Run! I wasn't sure how long she would be content in the carrier but I fed her a constant stream of teething crackers and she made it almost to the very end before I had to switch her to the front. But we made it!

Reagan wakes up in a flash and is ready to play right away; there are no sleepy baby snuggles for me. She is alert and looking for whatever action she's missed during her naps.

She loves when Jake tickles her "toe-sies" (I love it too!) and she babbles/yells all day. Its mostly "dada" so we  know what her first word will mostly likely be.

Reid's latest nickname for her is "Reaga-pop" (he also calls Jake "Jatey-pop") and she hears a fair amount of "Reagan roogan farfanoogan" too, poor girl! She is so loved around here!
