Who needs water..

Reegan found his swimming toy the other day in the closet, and insisted on Mitch blowing it up for him. Mitch got it all blown up and Reegan has just had a GREAT time! He crawls in there and plays and just has a great time, I have a feeling he would rather play with it OUT of the water than actually IN the water.

He has also started to blame Dena (his favorite white bear) for things being wrong or breaking. He managed to get the steering wheel off of the coupe swimming toy, and he brought it to me all upset and said, "Dena broke it.... " Apparently we need to start working on the truth

Also I thought these pictures of Reegan were fun. I had ordered a few new bedspread/quilt things for our room, and Reegan had to put them back in the box and then get in on top of it and play. He thought it was great and was upset when I shipped the box and some of the quilts back to the store!

Who needs toys, when you have boxes!

Seriously, GRAPEFRUITS?

A few weeks ago, Fred Myers was having a sale on grapefruits so I went and stocked up on several because I have always been a fan of fresh fruits ... well I gave Reegan a bite of one of them thinking he would say they were "yucky" but did the exact opposite! He can not get enough of them. The other day, Reegan probably ate close to 3 FULL GRAPEFRUITS, because Mitch doesn't like to tell him no. He not only eats them, but gets very impatient if you do not squeeze the juice out of the grapefruit into the bowl fast enough. The other day, it was apparently time for dinner and Mitch found Reegan in the kitchen, trying to bite into the grapefruit he took out of the fridge. What a kid... at least he is getting plenty of Vitamin C.

Random Pictures

Reegan copies EVERYTHING Mitch does. When Mitch uses the computer he normally puts a pillow under the computer. The after Christmas we went and looked around at some stores, and came across a kid computer. Reegan saw Mitch on the computer, took off to his bedroom and got his own pillow and went to work next to Mitch. (Dont mind the laundry on the couch behind Reegan, I am only do so much at once! :) )

Reegan loves it when Mitch has a day off of work and can play with him. They were building a tower with his new lego's, and Reegan was so excited at how tall it was!

Aunt Holly & Uncle Matt gave Reegan a Semi that hauls trucks. He LOVES it and drives that thing all over, all day long. As you can tell, he could not wait to get his jammies either all the way on or all the way off, before he started to play!

Reegan got a basketball hoop from Grandma and Grandpa Taylor. He loves it and just plays all day! Again, dont mind the almost naked boy, some days its not worth the fight to get dressed fully before playing!

FINALLY!! We moved Reegan out of his crib about 6 weeks ago. I LOVED him in the crib because he would go to sleep with out any problems and sleep all night. Since we put the full size bed up, he has always just wanted to sleep on the floor and makes Mitch sleep on the bed every night. (Mitch is grateful that he gets the bed, but I dont need to have a 6 year old that only sleeps on the floor, so I made Mitch give the bed up!) This is the first night that he actually started in the bed and stayed in the bed. We are making progress.... Of course, he has Dena right by his side!

"my little chair..."

This past week Mitch and I started going through some baby stuff to get everything ready. I pulled out the bouncy chair thing to get it all washed up and ready for #2, and Reegan found it in the baby room last night. He came out of the room carrying the chair saying, "Ooooh my little chair". I tried to explain to him that it was for a baby, but he kept trying to sit his cute little butt in the chair. So I told him that the chair was for Dena, the famous white teddy bear. So for about 2 hours last night, we had to put Dena in and out of the chair and make sure she was "seat belted" in..... He was very upset if she was not seat belted. I have a feeling we may need 2 bouncy chairs when we finally have our new addition. Reegan will probably still assume that the first chair is for DENA only....

Christmas

Well we had a great Christmas. We were busy as normal for the holidays, but we enjoyed it. We were wishing we had four wheel drive because of all the snow, but my little car impressed Mitch and we were able to get every where we needed.

Reegan is a little confused when it comes to moving the snow. He loves to go out there while Mitch is shoveling or using the snow blower, but he usually wants to use the rack to help out, or play on his bike. He is going to be a summer kid, I can already tell!!

Time for an update

Well as you can tell, we have not been able to upload pictures lately onto our blog. Our personal computer crashed, and has been shipped off to Rob in Seattle, to see if there is any hope left for it. Rob is the computer guru in the family so we are hoping he work some magic! So we have been borrowing a computer from Mitch's work until we figure out what we will do so I am limited to what I can do on the work computer.

But things are going great for us. We are currently making banana bread for the neighbors and our house is smelly pretty good! I would like to eat them all, and I just keep telling myself that pregnant women can eat whatever they want and not to feel quilty about it. However, I just do not think that is the right attitude!

Reegan is growing like a weed. We had a great Thanksgiving a few weeks ago, and were able to spend time with both my side and Mitch's side of the family. Its makes for along day, but it was great to see everyone. We have our christmas tree up, and have been lucky that Reegan leaves it alone. Last year we had a tree with decorations from about halfway up, however this year Reegan just loves to look at the decorations. He is a character, and wants to be the one to turn the lights on in the morning and off when he goes to bed. If someone else beats him to it, its just all downhill from there. I think you could say we have a little "OCD" in that little boy.

Name suggestions..

Mitch and I struggle to agree on names. I know that most people have names that they like but do not plan on telling anyone so they do not get "stolen", but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions they would like to share.
