Rylee and Reagan are now 17 months old and it's hard to believe how fast time goes by! Both are doing great and are developing their own individual personality. As I said before, Reagan has been walking for about a month now and just recently Rylee decided she can walk(which I think she's actually been holding out on us!) We were outside the other day and she honestly looked like she had been walking for weeks. Of course at times you wouldn't know it as she prefers to still crawl on her knees..strange I know!
Reagan is the clingy bully! ha. She doesn't get too far without knowing where I am at all times. She LOVES her daddy and when he walks in the door she hollers da-DEEEEEEE! He calls her chuckles and fitting as she tends to "chuckle" all the time especially when tickled. She will take a toy if it's what she wants, very reserve around new people and when told NO she stops for a second, looks at you and repeats. Yeah, she is a tester. She's the better eater of the two, seems to be the better sleeper(if I can say that), rarely will they sleep past 7am or even to 7am but it's her most of the time if it happens!
She wears it like sunglasses, will not wear it like a crown!

Rylee is the independent one. She is often content playing by herself with or without me around. Her nick name is "smiley rylee" as she seems to always show that precious smile! She LOVES her lovey, always making sure Reagan has her cup, lovey, pacifier, etc or will bring it to me if she finds it. She is more the motherly type. She likes to swing and slide where-as Reagan seems to be a bit scared of heights!
She found my drawer of strainers!
They both love books, love bathtime and absolutely LOVE Dora the Explorer! Try walking into a store when they spot a Dora balloon hanging at the check-out or spot ANYTHING Dora related...they are very loud!! Both adore their older brother and sister and are so excited to see them when we pick them up from school. However, especially with Maddie, it seems like I am saying "LEAVE THEM ALONE" alot lately!! Unfortunately they both like to play in the toilet too! Gross I know but we have caught them several times, clean toilet of course! They are responding more and more to simple commands bringing you something you ask far, finding their lovey or pappy, and putting things in the trashcan! I had a plate of grapes the other day on the table in the living room and when they had finished eating(not sure which one) but I was looking for the plate and without even saying anything she had taken the plate and put it in the trash can! I am amazed sometimes!

Big girls!!
This is random....a picture of Landon and his teacher, Mrs. Bagley!
On August 23rd, Reagan finally, after 16 mos, decided she could walk more than three steps! Yay! One happy momma! I was glad for a while they were not yet walking but lately I am SOOOOOO ready for them both to be walking independently. It would make some things so much easier. Rylee is still attempting but she just hasn't got it yet. Might I say Reagan is everywhere in the house! It has taken getting some use to seeing here come around the corner strolling along on her feet. She still has a few falls but she is getting faster and faster each day.
This post is well overdue but I just havent' felt like sitting down to do it honestly and finding the time lately has been challenging too! Landon is finishing up his 3rd week of Kindergarten... I can't believe how time is flying by. He still seems just as excited about school although the homework part not so much. (not that they really have that much anyway!) Landon had a birthday(Aug 19th) shortly after starting school, so he is now the ripe ole' age of 6! We celebrated his Transformer birthday with a party with family and friends at the Eastern Shore Centre fountain. It was definitely a memorable one....just not exactly what we had in mind. About 30 minutes before we needed to leave Landon gets sick...yes upchucks everywhere! Can you say perfect timing! He seems to be a little better so we head on, pull up to the fountain...bottom drops out. Thanks rain. It doesn't last long and clears out. Landon makes it to his party, fashionably late(ha) and basically just sits and watches everyone else. Poor little fellow. We were able to sing happy birthday and he blew out his candle. After opening his presents, he had just about enough and was ready to go home. Whatever he had only last long enough to mess up a good time. By the end of the night he was ok.
