Laughing at Mommy


Karis is starting to discover her voice these days and she has also been laughing a lot more. She seemed to smile really early and a couple of times it would sound like a little laugh coming out when she smiled really big but the other night I was holding her on my legs and holding her hands and playing with her and when I would shake my head at her she would start laughing. She really is such a happy baby. She seems to be the happiest right before she starts fussing. I find that she laughs the most at nighttime when I have her on her changing table and as soon as she is done laughing she starts fussing to go to bed. I haven't been able to capture her laughing on video yet but I'll keep trying. She seems to get distacted by the camera just like Raegan does.

Raegan also seems to be coming around to her baby sister. She gets mad and her and sometimes isn't kind to her but it's mostly when Karis is crying loudly in the car. I am trying to get Raegan to be kind to her sister but I understand it's hard to listen to her crying. I am sure she will start to enjoy her sister more and more as she grows older ( and stops crying so much in the car!). And Karis certainly loves her big sister. She loves to watch her and she smiles a lot when she sees Raegan. I am so thankful that they will have each other as they grow older.

Happy Birthday Daddy!


Happy Birthday to the best Daddy in the whole world!
Love Raegan and Karis






Country Fair







On Saturday we took Raegan to another fair. We love finding things to do outside on nice fall days and Josh's sister and her husband and son were coming into town so we thought it would be a fun thing to do. When we got there we saw bouncy slides and Raegan wanted to get on the "Cars" slide. She did that a couple of times and then we walked around. She saw animals at the petting zoo and then wanted to ride on the Pirate Ship ride ( which was in the little kids ride section of the fair). I put her on and about half way through I looked up and saw her crying. I thought that was kind of strange because when we took her to Dutch Wonderland she wasn't afraid of any rides even ones that I didn't think she would like. When I got her off of this ride I asked her what was wrong and through her tears she told me " I wanted it to go faster". That's my little dare devil! We ate lunch there and Raegan even got to ride on a real pony. To finish off our time we got snowballs from the Kona Ice truck. We had a great time. Raegan was pretty cranky the rest of the day because she didn't get a good nap in but it was worth it and we look forward to more fall fairs and festivals next year!
