Our little buckeye

Adorable photos of our future OSU cheerleader, courtesy of Amy Starkey. :)

Reagan was hot, so we took her shirt off. Of course, soon we will have to teach her that it is not lady-like. Check out the naked belly playing the piano!


I wish buddha-bellies were as adorable on mommies as they are on babies.

My favorite things...

Reagan is growing up so quickly. I just can't believe how much she has grown and learned in the past 14 months. Being a mommy is truly amazing so I thought I would share some of my favorite Reagan-isms.

Reagan's new favorite thing is to feed her baby doll its bottle. She holds the baby in her arms and feeds it. After a few seconds, she will take a huge pretend drink from the bottle. Its adorable!

We filled our gumball machine will M&M's. It was not such a good idea. If Reagan sees it she says "mmmm... nem-a-nems... get some". So of course, who could resist?! We hide them behind the stereo speakers. After a few days, they were discovered and we had to hide them again. When Reagan found them yesterday, she almost leapt out of daddy's arms in excitement. It was hilarious. And of course, she had some more of her favorite nem-a-nems.

Reagan loves to be chased. She will run around the house giggling. She loves when Boone is the one doing the chasing.

Everything that Reagan is not supposed to have she calls "daddy's". Everything on tables, all cel l phones, sunglasses, etc. are all known as "daddy's".

Reagan can do all the motions to the Wiggles song "Joannie works with one hammer". She even does the fall asleep part at the end. Somehow, it makes the annoying song enjoyable!

Ok... enough for now... you know I could go on forever.

Wayne County Fair

The fall would not be complete without a trip to the Wayne County fair. My mouth starts watering at the thought of Lerch's donuts. So it was totally worth driving 1+ hour and battling the crowds for a delicious dozen sugar donuts. We thought Reagan would really enjoy the animals. However, since crowds make her nervous, she wasn't very interested. Here are some highlights:





The fair is definitely not complete without fresh lemonade! The thing you can't see is, Reagan's cup has a bunch of nasty fries in the bottom. It was ice, a lemon, and fries. Yummy.

A day at the lake

Reagan is such a water baby. However, last time we are at Grandpa Mark's, she was unsure about the waves in the lake. This time, she thought they were hilarious! We didn't even have time to put on her swimming suit. She was just having way too much fun! Of course, daddy was within arms reach the whole time.

Checking out the waves.
Heading into the water, which I thought was freezing. Of course, kids (and dads) don't care about that!
WHOA!!
Hanging out with cousin Maggie.
Reagan was sound asleep the entire way home! Aren't babies adorable when they sleep?!

Warming up


Reagan has always been weird about boys. She is definitely growing out of the phase. However, Uncle Max still causes some worry. I am sure that very soon, they will be great friends!!!

Playground action

Reagan is an outdoor baby! We are trying to enjoy every remaining moment of the nice weather. It's Ohio, you know it won't last long!!
