The Wild Child!

So I have a few pictures of our wild child Bailey! Most everyone thinks she is the perfect child ever! Even though we do think she is wonderful we tend to disagree on some of those things because she is constantly into things!! So I thought I would post a few pictures to show that she can get into things!

Here is how she fell asleep napping
Here is how Eric found her the other day!
Then he got her down and she got back up and tried to chew on the bar and that didn't work
The climber!
Poor thing got bit pretty bad at school on Monday, she got bit again on Tues but it wasn't as bad

Reagan turns 4!

Wow, can't believe Reagan is now turning 4! Just amazing how fast it all goes! With the Olympics on right now, that really brings back the memories of her birth and those sleep deprived days afterwards since that was going on during that timeframe. The one event that stands out the most (besides some of the swimming and gymnastics since that was on the whole night we were in the hospital in L&D) is the womens marathon. I just remember sitting there at the table so tired (of course not knowing that I was going to get mastitis in a few days) and watching Deena Kastor in the marathon and finish third to get a medal! I got emotional over that mostly because I was so tired, but of course I'm a runner also and just admire anyone that can not only just run a marathon but run one as fast as she can and as often as she knows. So as we watched the womens marathon on Saturday night it just really brought back those memories of our first few days at home with Reagan.

We had the family over to celebrate her birthday, pretty much everyone was there, except Krista & Chad. The girls had a great time playing inside and outside and just running around. Tyler had a great time eating and trying to tackle Jonathan (not sure if Jonathan liked that though).

But Reagan is just thrilled to finally be 4! She has been waiting all week to turn 4.

Below are some pictures from the family party and they are out of order somewhat, but I was just trying to get them posted for everyone to see.

Quick thanks to Brandon for taking some of the pictures!

Reagan's Birthday Gifts

Reagan got lots of great gifts for her birthday! And is trying to play with all of them! At her "family" birthday party, she would not smile at all for the camera. Typically she poses with her gifts and smiles, but not this time. I think she cracked a smile maybe once or twice.

Reagan's new chair!
Reagan checking out her new chair
Now Reagan has one and Bailey has one
Such cuties!
Reagan's new chair is great (of course it's from Pottery Barn Kids)

You can't tell how excited Reagan is about opening up her birthday gifts!
I got to read the cards

Bailey gave Reagan an Ariel doll for the bath

This set of pictures is the gifts from her Dress Up Tea party. Since it was a combined party with Riley, we brought home the gifts and opened them up after quiet time. This set of pictures is completely different, she is all smiles and poses with each gift!
