18 Months

she comes to brush her teeth with mommy everyday, and uses whoever's toothbrush happens to be left out. sshh

pure excitement..."mommy let me outside!" actually it was excitement over the basketball.

She is actually getting closer to 19 months...but who's counting. Raegan is turning into her big brother Ethan as in (tearing the house apart). She is into everything and is like a little whirl wind blowing through and can make quite the mess to clean up! I actually could just follow her around all day and keep busy my whole day cleaning up her messes. Thank goodness for nap times!! She is a wonderful napper usually sleeping about 3 hrs. She cuts it to two hrs occasionally but i'm not complaining. She does great at night typically sleeping usually about 11 hrs but i can always tell when she has an ear infection because we have several nights in a row of poor sleep when i usually end up on the couch with her on and off throughout the night...we are on a run of nights like that right now...guess it's time to fill the rx they gave me "in case. Her allergist said her ear was a little red so gave me one if she got fussier. Tubes are sounding better and better every day...

She is starting to learn lots of words and tries to repeat things you say. Some of the words that she has down are
"ga-ma" (whom she loves dearly, once she spots ga-ma, who is mommy?)
"lub you"- which she repeated back to me at nap time the other day
"baby" -she adores her baby dolls!!
" m-i-n-e"- ah yes she has learned the word, she has joined the ranks of
thinking everything is HERS
"NO"- her answer to just about any question you ask her.
"bubba"- what she calls Ethan only on occasion
"sissy"-what she calls Avery on occasion
"Tae"- Trey is the only one she will call by name
" shoesss"- loves to take her "shoessss" off!
" pitty"- pretty-
" nanie" her beloved pink silky blankie, a close second would be her purple
silky blankie
"EAT" - as i have said before, the girl loves to eat!! As soon as i say the words
eat she runs to her chair and climbs into her booster. The only think
we have found that she doesn't like is broccoli, other than that she will
just about anything you put in front of her.

She is such a little cuddler and when i get her in the middle of the night just smiles and snuggles into me. She goes down great for me at nap time but at night time if i try to put her down she throws a bit of a fit. Daddy usually has to come do the honors. You can tell she has become adjusted to being put to sleep at night by Daddy since i work evenings, she prefers him at night.
She loves to go outside and will dart for the door if barely open, i'm cossing my fingers that she doesn't have breathing issues associated with allergies like her big sister after this last week when she was out on a warm day and ended up needing a breathing treatment that night. We will have to see what the springs brings.

She is one happy little girl and brings lot's of squealing and giggling to the house!
