4th of July

Since we didn't get a day off from work (boo!) for the 4th this year we really tried to fit a lot in. We decided we would start out at the Zoo in the morning for a couple of hours.





























We stopped before we left and Reagan ate lunch. We thought/assumed that she would fall asleep in the car on the way home, which she did, and then we could move her upstairs to her bed where she could sleep for another couple of hours before we had to head back out. That's what normally happens. Of course not today. We took Reagan upstairs and she stayed in her room for the next 1.5 hours but played the whole time. We finally brought her downstairs to lay on the couch and watch a movie. We then crossed our fingers and left to go over to spending the rest of the day with the family.




















Reagan was not at all scared of the water this time. Quite the opposite actually. She was jumping in to Dad and would let go of him and be on her own with her little swimming vest. She would throw a ball and then try to get it on her own. She was pretty entertaining. Mom and Abby just watched from the sidelines. We may a little fishy in Reagan yet!











And just because she's so darn cute and there always seems to be fewer pictures of her here is a picture of Abby from this week. While she has been more of a hands on kiddo then Reagan ever was she is happy and smiling almost all of the time. This week she has started this high pitched scream. It is pretty ear piercing but it's a happy noise from her so we'll take it. For the most part she is a much better sleeper then Reagan was at night but when it comes to naps she is not a fan. We're working on learning to sit though it's a ways off. She's grabbing for things and when left on her back seems to be able to make her way around a room! She is still swimming in 0-3 month clothes. She's our tiny one!
