That's what friends are for

Reagan has been working on her walking but it was not until a play date last week with our good friend Caleb that she really took off. They were great to watch and the day went on they both starting taking more and more steps until they finally walked across the room! Most of the walking was due to them wanting something the other one wanted. Reagan and Caleb are great to watch together - they will be such great friends as they get older!

Here they were enjoying a water table at Caleb's birthday/eviction party (he is getting ready to be a big brother in September so he was getting kicked out of the nursery!)

Shopping adventure

We ran lots of errands on Monday and Reagan was getting a little bored so I have to get creative in getting us through the store...

Trader Joe's has little carts for kids that Reagan had a great time pushing around. Someone had to be with her at all times because she did not want to stop pushing and did not do a great job at directing. Everyone in the store thought she was so cute because the cart was so much bigger than her - they were stopping to talk to her and the employees were taking her picture.


By the time we made it to Costco we had pushed our luck a little too much - she was in need of a nap! So she took a ride in the back of the cart and decided she needed to take a seat on the waters.

Catch up!!

Well, since it has been a month since my last post I thought that it was a good time to catch everyone up on what has been going on at the Doll House.

We still have our house on the market and have had lots of showing but no bites yet. Hopefully, it does not take us much longer because it is not fun getting the house ready and getting Reagan and the dog out the door.

We got Reagan's first birthday pictures taken...

There are so many cute ones it was hard to pick but here is one of my favorites. She did a great job of capturing Reagan's personality and lots of her expressions.
One of the coolest things we did in the last month was celebrate the ground breaking of our building project at church. Everyone during the service got a stake and wrote prayers on them. Then we took them outside and hammered them down along the perimeter of where the new building is going to be.

It was so cool to see all the stakes once it was completed and think about all of the people that will be able to walk through the doors and attend a service in the new santuary.

We also took our first trip to the zoo. Reagan called all the animals dogs and really enjoyed the dolphin show. We got to feed the giraffes.

Reagan has been watching baseball with Rob and wearing his hats.

We enjoyed a visit with Rob's family over the 4th. This is Rob's sister's little girl who is 8 weeks older than Reagan. They really had fun together.

These are her older kids Rachel and Joel. Reagan could also say Joel...it was so cute!

We have made many trips to the park. Reagan mostly enjoys watching the other kids but has really starting climbing on the playground. Here I was trying to get a shot of her in her new shades and yes she does leave them on.

Watching a little league game...we are really serious about baseball in the Doll house!!
Got the two ring pool from Walmart out. She had more fun climbing in and out then actually playing in the water.
Nothin like playing with no diaper on! She has gotten so fast that I turn around to get the diaper and she is gone. We are working on the walking, getting better everyday.
Reagan got her first taste of a popsicle. It was tasty and very messy but what a great summer treat!

I promise to be better about posting - it has just been too nice out to be sitting at my computer.
