You are constantly soaking up everything around you and learning so much! Your big brother and big sister just adore you and love it when you smile or laugh with/at them. You make some of the funniest squeals and I can not wait for the months and years to come!
We love you!

IFSP's & IEP's

Wow... What a slacker I have been.

Today we had Reagan's IFSP/IEP meeting for her Speech Therapy. It went great! Right when one of the ladies came in and sat down, she knew why Reagan was having trouble speaking. Reagan's tongue is more forward than kids her age. It is making her have a lisp.

So what we have to do is

1) Get rid of her sippy cup because it is promoting "suckling" and its not letting her use her lips and jaw.

2) Start her on regular cups and straws. That way she will have to use her lips when she is drinking.

3) Since she is a "Packer" {she packs food into her cheeks} we need to cut her food smaller and make sure she is eating the piece and then swallowing it before she goes on to another piece.


Also, I called and got her on the list for Preschool! They are going to call me and set up an appt for Registration! I can't believe both DJ and Reagan will be in preschool together for the 2011/2012 school year!!!

Whoo Hoo!!!

One year ago today...

We found out we were pregnant...

♥ We love you so much Allen ♥

March of Dimes :)

Allen and I walked the March of Dimes yesterday! It was soooo windy at the capitol, people were walking at an angle hahaha. It took me about 1 1/2 hours to walk the whole 6 miles. It took me a good 30 minutes to find my car, I forgot which floor I parked on. Then, my debit card was not in my wallet.. So I had to do an I.O.U. and had another $5 tacked onto my $5 parking bill.. Sheesh!

 {Getting ready to walk!}

 {The Capitol}

 {Drinking before the big walk!}

 {Apparently the guy on the right made a bet with someone to see who could raise the most money for the walk. He lost, but they both raised over $1,000 a piece!}

{After the walk, such a tired little boy! He slept for the first 3 miles though!}

After the walk we came home, ate and then went to a Baby Shower for Dave's co-worker. Allen screamed the whole drive there.. He hates his car seat! While we were there, he was passed around and a friend finally got him to sleep for me. He would not fall asleep for me.

 {Playing in the bumbo.. Not a fan!}

{Passed Out!}

Have a great week!
