A Mouth Full

I took this picture just a few minutes ago. Look at all of those cute little teeth!! The one to the left of the space in his bottom teeth is just barely hanging on. One false move--an extra hard laugh, a sneeze, and run in with a wall--and that tooth will be flying out!

I am still not looking forward to his smile changing. I remember when that tooth first showed up when he was 4 months old, and I really missed seeing his cute little gummy smile.

3 months

4 months

I know that I'll get used to see all of those spaces and then all of those grown up teeth, but right now I just can't stand it! Sometimes his growing up seems to be on fast forward.

SLOW DOWN!!

Off Limits

Reagan has his first loose tooth, and I'm saddened by it. I'm just not ready for him to have "big people" teeth because, well, I don't want my baby to be a "big person" yet.

The loose tooth is a source of giggles, though. This sucker is LOOSE! But if I ask if I can wiggle it, he looks at me with a serious face (with a hint of smile) and says, "No! It is off limits."

I then ask if he'll wiggle it for me, and he says, "No, I don't know which one it is," or "No, it hurts," or "No, it is off limits."

I joke that he just pull it, because every meal now consists of his tooth hurting. Plus he now is biting into his food with his molars--I remember doing that as a kid, too, but I never knew how disgusting it could look! Anyway, when I tell him to just pull it, he says, "No, it will bleed," or "No, it won't come out," or "No, it is off limits."

I hope the Tooth Fairy doesn't claim her bag of quarters is OFF LIMITS! when the time comes...

Bats left

Although Reagan is right handed, this is what happens when he picks up a baseball bat or a golf club:

Someone else I know does exactly the same thing--bats and golfs LEFT-HANDED, although he is right-handed.

Reagan's Grandaddy!

FREEZING

Last week Reagan really wanted to go swimming. I told him that the water was still too cold. He insisted that he liked, no LOVED, the cold.

Here is the result of swimming in water that was much too cold for normal people:

Words to Warm the Heart

The Nester is doing a fabulous giveaway, and I wanted to share it with you. I just love how she has all of these Book Crops all over her house. Read her post to see how and where she uses them.

And here is the one I designed!

I'm Huntin' Leprechauns!

This video was taken today.

Uh, yeah. He just has a great imagination, I guess. He has been talking about getting a leprechaun's pot of gold lately, and I guess now those leprechauns are living in our backyard. He wants to make a trap out of a shoe box (sitting here next to me as I type).

I guess we'll trap one 10 weeks from now when they show up from their daddy's house.



On an unrelated note--if you know anyone who can fix our horrible yard, send them our way! I'm embarrassed that I'm posting what our backyard looks like to the entire internet.

Lego Rockin' Out

We received Lego Rock Band for Christmas...just like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, but with Lego characters and better song choices. Here is David playing the guitar to some Jimi Hendrix. But what is also great about this video is that Reagan is also playing. At least he thinks he's playing the game...

I think his moves are a bit spastic to keep up a good singing voice. He may have pull a Britney Spears and lip sync while he dances so that his voice sounds good in concert.

Reagan is using a marker as a microphone. I don't know if you can understand David, but he asks Reagan if he's sniffing markers on camera. Great....
