Has it really been a month?

I can't believe I haven't posted in almost a month. Sorry friends!! I will make this post extra long. We just got back from a trip to Florida. It was a dive/Disney World/ summer trip with my family trip. First of all, to those of you wanting to travel to Florida in the near future, August is NOT the time to go! It was so hot and muggy, we were sweating buckets the second we stepped out the door. YUCK!! Disney World was pretty fun. Jared the Disney freak has been wanting to go to Disney World for 32 years. I don't think he was that impressed. Probably because despite the horrid weather it was still packed. It was fun watching Reagan check everything out though. She loved the fireworks show. Everytime a really loud firework would go off she would do this weird screech, almost like she was in pain, but she was just excited. People kept looking at us like we were biting off her toes or something. It was freaking hilarious!! Diving ended up being just my mom and Jared. On the plane ride over I got a little tickle in my throat that turned into a screaming sinus pressure thing by the next morning. I was super bummed. They got to go to the Atlantic coast and dive in the warm water. They also got to dive at Epcot at the Nemo exhibit. That one was awesome because we got to watch and Reagan kept screaming "daddy" when she saw him. She also screamed "daddy" when she saw this other guy that kinda looked like Jared, but we won't let him know that part. Reagan loved the water parks and even did a few baby water slides all by herself in the tube. I'll get some of those pictures up as soon as I buy them. Disney has this cool thing where professionals wander around taking pictures of you and you can buy them online later.
Reagan did wonderful with all the traveling and crazy schedule. She's getting to be such a big kid. She's now walking pretty well and is figuring out how to say new words. It seems like a different word every day. The favorite word is "ball" which applies to actual balls, balloons, the big Epcot ball and anything ball shaped in general. She's also saying mama, daddy, puppy, baby, hi, bye-bye, nana (banana), ni-ni (bedtime- I do realize that's not actually a word, but it does have a meaning). We can tell that she knows a lot of words although she can't say them yet. It's weird to have her being such a big kid and transitioning from baby.
So, with it being freakishly hot, our minds were not thinking straight and we have zero pictures in Disney. I took some the first day we were there at the condo when Reagan was eating cherries. It's pretty cute so I'll post that picture.
This is the reason why we strip down to our diaper before anything the stains:

Reagan has a new hairstyle. I love it. Jared hates it. I win.
