I guess it's 2011!

So I guess it has been quite awhile since I found a few minutes to sit down and give an update. If you lived in this house though you'd understand why! The holidays have come and gone and Reagan had a wonderful time! We hosted Thanksgiving and made trips to Chicago and Indy around Christmas to celebrate with our families. We have battled illness all winter long and can't wait for Spring to be here! It seems we have all had our fair share of colds and bugs and now just hope we are on the mend. I can't take much more sickness! And well, as any of you with kids know, life with an 18 month old is crazy!!! The girl is into anything and everything. We are still amazed at how fast the family room can go from clean and orderly to mass chaos! :-) Her vocabulary continues to grow which is so much fun! Our tally I believe is well over 70! And boy do you need to watch what you say around this kid because she will repeat it instantly! One favorite was when Jim told Peanut he was a goofball and she promptly repeated, "GOOFBALL!"

She loves playing with her kitchen and babies. She has a great fondness for Elmo and her ladybug pillowpet. But I think her greatest love in the toy world right now is books. She can't get enough of all her books! It is so cute to find her sitting in the family room "reading" one of her books!

With all of the excitement has also come our share of frustration as she is definitely into pushing her boundaries and even finds mommy and daddy's scolding funny. UGH! But at the end of the day we wouldn't change her for anything! She enjoys walking Peanut around the house on his leash... which he is not very found of so we have been trying to get her to walk her stuffed animal dog around instead... it seems to do the trick!

We are gearing up for our first plane trip with the little lady. We are excited and nervous! We know she is a great traveler but that take off thing might be a bit much! Hopefully we don't annoy EVERYONE on the plane! :-)

Here are some picks of our last few months!

We kicked off the first snowfall of the season with sled rides around the yard. She LOVED it!

Sporting Mr. Potato Head's glasses!

Are you going to drink all of that or do you need some help?

Helping clear the drive after yet another round of snow this winter

So excited about Produce Delivery Day! She pulled her apple out of the bin when I wasn't looking and started eating it! She loves her fruit!

Sporting little pigtails! The hair is growing slowly!! :-)

Our 18 month old Cutie!!!
