Our Little Ladybug!

This year I made Raegan a ladybug costume for "halloween". I saw the idea in a magazine and decided to make it for her. Sometimes I call her my little ladybug so I thought it was cute. I was going to make her "broccoli" since she eats so much broccoli that I always joke that she is going to turn into it. But I decided on the ladybug. When I first had her costume finished, I tried to put it on her and she didn't want anything to do with it. But on wednesday we were supposed to meet some friends from MOPS to go visit a nursing home so they could see the kids with their costumes. Fortunately that morning she didn't mind me putting on her costume. And I have to say she makes one cute little ladybug. She did really well visiting the nursing home. She handed out candy to some of the residents there and they were really excited to see the kids. Tonight our church had a " trunk or treat" in their parking lot so we decided to take Raegan there. She wasn't too sure what to think with all of the decorations and costumes. One car was decorated as "Christmas" and there was a santa claus who made Raegan cry. But then somebody gave Raegan a bag of oreos as a treat and I opened it for her and after that she caught on! She was going around holding out her pumpkin and taking candy from everyone. Of course just as she started getting into it, it started to rain but we still had fun! There was even a car decorated as a "ladybug" so we took Raegan's picture in front of it. It was a fun day with our little ladybug! Oh yeah and Kona was a lobster for halloween ( have i mentioned lately what a good and tolerant dog kona is!).

20 Months

Raegan is 20 months old as of friday ( i know a bit behind in my blogging). It is so hard to believe how fast she is growing. She will be 2 in 4 months! Sometimes I want to just go back to those days when she was a little baby but I know I can't. Time flies when you are having fun. And believe me this little girl is fun! She always has Josh and I laughing. And she has the most contagious belly laugh ever. She is starting to say a lot more words and sentences. She continues to be a picky eater but she loves her vegetables! She has been having a lot of fun playing outside lately because she can actually start to play on the playground by herself. She also loves coloring with markers and she enjoys painting herself more than painting on paper ( thank goodness for washable markers!). She continues to love books and she is starting to like shows too. We don't let her watch much tv/DVDs but the other week we both had colds and so we ended up watching a lot more shows than normal so she kind of got spoiled. So now every day she asks " Wor world?" ( Word World) and " Pend?" ( the Pond). We are getting tired of those 2 shows but they are her favorites ( really the only shows she watches) and they are good. She is also into singing lately. Sometimes I'll catch her holding one of her dolls and singing to her. And the other day she was downstairs and she was singing and we looked over at her and she was singing into the mircophone from the XBox. She gives the best hugs and kisses! And she just continues to melt our hearts every day!
