Big Girl Bed!!!

We decided to turn Rea's crib into the transitional bed. It has been two nights so far and she has done great. However, yesterday during nap, I went to check on her and found that she had gotten out of bed. She took 4 pairs of shoes back to bed with her. She had hidden one of the pairs under a blanket. Sneaky little girl! It was hard to keep a straight face and tell her no. I cracked up once I left the room. She has slept great otherwise. We're so proud of her. So far its been an easy transition.

Halloween Night

This was the first real time Reagan could actually take part in the trick-or-treating festivities. We took her to the community center for a short while. She played a few games and got a balloon. The balloon was definately the highlight. There were a few kids with scary masks and that scared Rea at first. She cried for a minute and then was over it. I think she did great.

After the community center, we went to the Middaugh's house. Reagan loves them. She plays just as much with the kids and she does John and Patty. Rea had a blast. She kept sneaking over to the candy bowl and taking more treats. Little stinker. She really had a great time. Scott and I did too. It was such a fun night.

Decorating Pumpkins

Scott carved one for Rea. He did a Dora face and she was so excited. Unfortunately, we were unaware of the molding/rotting it would do since we carved it so early. Woops! But we did get a picture of it in all its glory.

Reagan "colored" the other two with markers. She has the baby pumpkin in her room and she likes to hold while we change her. She talks to it and tells us about the colors on it.

Huntin' Pumpkins

Reagan LOVED the pumpkin patch. She had to point out each one and tell us it was a pumpkin. It was hilarious to watch her try to move the giant ones. She ended up with three, one baby, one smallish, and one regular sized.

Rea's first pumpkin

On saturday, we went to Michael's (the craft store), to do some pumpkin decorating. You just had to buy a pumpkin for $5 and then take it to the decorating station. So, it was pretty much over Reagan's head but she did really well I think. We guided her on where to put the face pieces but she took over from there. As you can see, shapes are randomly placed all over. She loved the little puff balls and insisted that they ALL be stuck on top. She is very proud of her pumpkin and likes to walk over and look at it and tell us about it.

Fire Girl!

This past thursday was fire safety day at the library. Reagan and I went with our good friends Melanie and Adora. The girls had fun getting stickers and listening to stories that the fireman told them. Afterwards, the firemen gave out fire hats, coloring books, and stickers. And we got to go outside and see their firetruck. Reagan was most concerned about the hat. She loves the darn thing. She is still wearing it around the house!

Reagan's first zoo trip!

Scott and I took Reagan to the zoo earlier this month. She LOVED it!!! Reagan insisted on walking the entire time and by the end of the day you could tell she was exhausted. She would trip and stumble but still wanted to walk to the animals. The first exhibit we saw was the birds and she thought they were hilarious. She would crouch down to see under the bars and just crack up at the silly birdies flying around. It was pretty funny to watch her screeching "TWEET TWEET" at the birdies. She also loved getting to pet a bunny. At the Dallas Zoo, there is a "Children's Zoo" that was perfect for Rea. Everything was at her level so she could really see what was going on.

We are so happy that we took her there and can't wait to go again.
