Clorox Bleach Pen


Can I just say that I LOVE the bleach pen? It is the best thing to happen to Reagan's wardrobe. It works so well on her white shirts that I thought were ruined. It's my new favorite thing!

Mariner's Game

Last Saturday, Reagan got to go to her first baseball game with me and Grandpa. She had a blast and loved all the noises and all the people. I was a little worried because she hadn't napped and the game started at 1:00 which is right in the middle of naptime so I figured she'd last a few innings before screaming her head off. She was wonderful, though! She lasted the whole 4 hour game and didn't fuss at all. She had her first taste of Mariner garlic fries and some Dippin Dots. Grandpa bought her a cool hat that she kept on almost the whole game. She met the Mariner Moose who was way cooler and more interesting farther away than when it was our turn for a picture. It was a great game with great weather and we had so much fun!!

Me, Reagan & Grandpa

Reagan lasted about 10 minutes walking to the car after the game before falling asleep. Poor kid!!

9 Months!!

I can't believe I have a 9 month old baby. That's just crazy. Reagan is growing like crazy, not as much as some babies, but growing. Here are some updates on our little peanut. Things she loves: string cheese, playing with Dakota, her pink & white soft blankie, dancing, watching Jeopardy, having daddy sing "I'm just a little black rain cloud", pointing her finger and playing with balloons at Nonna and Papa's house. Things she hates: getting cleaned up after making messes, waiting for food, getting licked to death by Dakota and scary swimming floaty toys. She's probably about 17? pounds and a lot of inches. She's such a happy baby and is a fun little person to have around. She crawls around the house at lightning speed with her goofy style- left knee and right foot. Hey, whatever works. She really wants to walk and we're expecting that she'll figure it out in the next few weeks. I wish I could post a happy 9 month old baby picture, but Reagan has been teething and she finally popped out 2 teeth today and another one is on its way. The 2 that came out today were the top 2 to the side of her front teeth. She looks like a baby vampire. Viva la Cullen!!! So, the only decent picture we could get today was her eating some cold mandarin oranges, another favorite. Enjoy!!

Dakota

We have a wonderful dog, Koda. She is sweet, gentle, playful and great with Reagan. She has 2 not so great qualities:
1. She is smart. Too smart.
2. She gets bored. Very bored.
Add these 2 qualities together and you get Trouble. With a capital T that rhymes with P that stands for pool. As in, our neighbors pool. You see, Koda gets bored in the backyard and no matter how valiant our efforts, always manages to find a way out. Lat summer, she enjoyed going to our neighbors house with a pool. I assume they have a pool because over the summer we collected pool noodles, several Nerf floaty pool toys and even 2 boat buoys. She also stole balls, dolls, garbage and we even found a few cat collars. So, the other day while Reagan was napping I let Koda outside to go potty. Immediately she saw a cat on the fence and booked towards it. I knew she was gone. This stupid cat is the most common cause for Dakota's jailbreaks. Usually I would go out and drive to the next block over and find Koda wandering the streets but with Reagan napping I couldn't. So, I was waiting at home for a call from someone saying they found a ferocious German Shepherd that they've tied up in their yard. Dakota is the sweetest dog ever but still has the mean look of a police attack dog. No one called and Jared couldn't find her when he went looking for her after work. We ended up going to Auburn to eat dinner with my parents and when we came home there was Dakota sitting by the front door waiting for us. She's so smart! Now I know that I can not worry about her getting lost forever when she escapes. I thought I'd post some of her cute puppy pictures from 2 years ago when we first brought her home. I love our dog!




This picture has horrible quality but it's too funny. Dakota would sleep just inside Reagan's room when we first brought her home and "guard" her. How cute!!
