Trying to stand, trying to drive, trying on clothes...just being cute

Raegan has been trying lots of new things lately. She still isn't quite crawling but she is getting close. She has figured out how to move herself around in circles, not quite conventional crawling but it works for now. She also loves to stand up and Josh got some good pictures of her standing up with the help of our ottoman. Our neighbors also lent us a walker for Raegan to try that is shaped like a car. She hasn't quite figured out how to move herself yet but she does love playing with the horn! And of late Raegan also enjoys trying on clothes by herself. We put her on our bed sometimes when we are getting ready to go out somewhere so we can watch her closely and last sunday I looked over and Raegan was trying on the skirt i had out but decided not to wear. Yesterday she covered herself with baby clothes that I was sorting out on our bed. And when I went over to her to acknowledge what she had done she laughed hysterically. I think she is beginning to figure out that we think everything she does is cute ( and she's right!). The biggest change for her has been her new sleeping arrangements! She was using a swaddler blanket up until a few nights ago. We had tried many times to not swaddle her at night and everytime we did she would wake up several times. We had to get a bigger swaddler and it was a little too big so she was able to get her arms and legs out by the end of the night but she still needed to use the swaddle. But the other night we decided not to use one and to just put a blanket over her legs and to our pleasant surprise it worked! She doesn't kick off the blanket and she gets very excited when we put the blanket on her! It is nice that she finally done using the swaddler but it is sad in the same sense, just another way in which our little baby is growing up! Anyway, below our some recent pictures.
