Reagan's DOings!

Yep, she's a DO-er!  :)  She's been working really hard lately, with 3 different therapists, and the hard work is paying off! ...Although I think we can attribute much of her accomplishment to her "spirit" (or stubbornness ;) as well! :)  I personally like to see it as determination... because that is what she is: Determined!  It's so fun to watch her figure things out!  :)  Since pictures are worth a 1000 words, here are 5... with some commentary by Mom.  :D

Starting position.  Yes, she is using her foot to rub her face!  hahaha.
This is why there is not a video of her doing this... She moves at Reagan speed, which means she has to stop now and then to make faces or squeak or sing.  :)  We call this position "the dead cockroach".  ;)
Getting closer...
Little Miss likes to sit like a frog!  :)  But getting those legs under her is hard work!
Up she goes!  :D 
I should clarify that she is not yet crawling... but holy crap... if that isn't the coolest thing ever!  She is getting so close!  And she wants to pretty bad!  So far she mostly just rocks and propels herself forward onto her tummy and then starts again.  Pretty dang impressive!  :D 

And then there are those little fingers!  :)  Chubby and cute and so very hard to control!  BUT she has finally figured out how to use them to her advantage... that's right, she's picking up small food and getting it into her mouth!  :D  There are not words for how exciting this is!  Feeding herself is HUGE!  We've been working on getting her to table food too, this is a big step in getting there!  Yeah Baby Girl!!!  We are SO proud of you!

(I got the cutest video of her feeding herself the other day... but I can't get it to download! Rrrrr!  I've been trying for 3 days... I finally decided to just post without it. :/ But I will keep trying, it's so stinking cute!)

Yay! Way to go Reagan! She is so cute! I'm so glad to see she is doing well...it sounds like she has her mommy's spirit (and by that I really do mean spirit...not stuborness). :)

That is awesome and so exciting for you and your family! Much must be attributed (sp?!) to you though for being dedicated to all the therapy she has to do. SO very very excited for you and your cute little girly!

I am so so so happy for her!! She really is coming along like a little rockstar! And I can't believe how much she's grown...she's really shedding all her cute baby chub and becoming quite the adorable toddler!! IT cracks me up that she started with SUCH dark hair and she's a total blondie! Love her!
