Lazy Weekend

Here are just a few pictures from the weekend. From what I hear we are now in June gloom, so the weather has just been kinda well...gloomy. Ready for the sun to come back out so we can head back out to the beach!

Sippy Cup Update

Reagan is doing better with her sippy cup. I still have to sit with her and sometimes even take a few drinks myself. For some reason she wants to drink out of it even more if I am, so I pretend to drink out of her cup. Sorry, you will just have to picture that yourself, I won't post a picture of myself drinking out of her cup! But here she is holding it and drinking her juice! She is getting to be such a big girl!

Just The Two Of Us

After work tonight Darrin and some of his co-workers went to the Padres game, so Reagan and I and had a girls night in. It was the first time I have ever been myself at night with her and I did not like it!! Since I am with her all day long, by the end of the day I am ready to hand her over to her Daddy. Tonight she was actually great for me though so I can't complain to much. I took some pictures as the night went to show Darrin what all we did.

we watched GAC



we played with toys - she is almost standing by herself!





my favorite picture of the night - we practiced waving hi & bye


haha, this picture cracks me up! She looks like a boy with a crew cut. Her headbands were not only rubbing hair off the back but on the sides too! Oops, sorry Reagan!

we ate snacks and had dinner

she jumped in her jumper

took a bath


we read books and she went to sleep




I guess I am off to watch Bride Wars and have Oreos and milk! We really missed you tonight Daddy. Hope you had fun, we love you!

Go Kris!

Tonight is the big night! Who is it going to be, Kris or Adam? I really hope it's Kris, I think he's such a cutie, so sweet and charming! Not to mention he has a great voice, I already downloaded most of his songs. Darrin thinks I am a HUGE dork, but I totally have a crush on him! Go Kris!

R.I.P. Headband Bows

It is with great sadness that I come to inform you of a serious matter taken place in the Snider home. Reagan & I have decided her bows will no longer be apart of her everyday dress. To most this is tragic, others might be a little happy, but I can no longer force her to wear them. She has become aware that they are up there and is constantly pulling them off. Not only that but I was worrying about a spot on the back of her head that wasn't growing hair. The other day I realized it was where her headband goes, it was rubbing her hair off!

So in efforts to save as much hair as we can and to keep Reagan from pulling her bows down over her eyes, we decided to let her go without them. However, certain occasions call for me forcing her to wear them, so they are not totally out of the picture. And as soon as she has enough hair for me to clip them in, they will be completely back in the picture!

Thank you to all the headbands who participated in Reagan's wardrobe for the past 9 1/2 months. You are all loved and appreciated, we will miss you.

Miss Independent!!

Here are just some pictures of what we have been doing this week. (which is a WHOLE lot of NOTHING!) Reagan is everywhere. She goes from her swing to the couch, walks along the couch, crawls to the ottoman, pulls her self up, walks over to her toys, pulls out and plays with every toy, crawls over to the TV, pulls herself up, walks up and down the TV stand, sits down, plays with the remote controls for a bit and then does it all over again!!! Basically she is all over the place! I can't help but take her picture, I think its so cute. She's like Miss Independent!!
