Reagan the Builder!


Since we have moved into our house and Reagan has diligently watched as I hang up all the decorations she has had an obsession with using the hammer all by herself! I know that I am young, but I am definitely not a dumb mother. . . I can at least realize that a 21 month old and a hammer are not a good combination (even if I think that a 21 month old and a box of Cheez-It's are a GREAT combo--that is what she asks for every morning for breakfast!). So luckily at Lowe's they have a child project day where the kids can come and build a project (goofy miniature golf ensemble, and an ant farm thus far) with their own kiddie hammer and nails! She has to make sure that she always has some part to do with it. She actually does a fairly decent job: she hammers in the general areas that the nails go. So please enjoy this clip of our master builder!

P.S. We can't help but brag, she can now officially count to 10 by herself! Which shows how well her speech and memory is coming which isn't good when she walks around saying, "shoot, crap" all day and calls things "dumb!"

Looks like she had a great time. She is such a cutie!!! Hope they are still doing that when we come out there. Then well have to take all the little cousins to it. How fun would that be:) Britt

Ok so that first picture is seriously one of the cutest things I've ever seen!! I miss hanging out with you guys, too! I was just thinking the other day of when we came over near the end of finals for dessert and you were being all good not eating after 7 PM. Weird, the things you remember sporadically, huh? We've finally made some friends here, we don't feel quite so lonely anymore!!

We heard her count to ten and ask for books, so I think it's okay that she has at least a few words in my vocabulary to say. Gavin keeps talking about Reagan's house and the tractor he saw. We need to have you guys over when you come this way! That was fun going to lucnh with you guys last weekend!
