16 Months Old!

It is unbelievable to think that yet another month has gone by!  Our little girl is getting bigger and bigger both in physical size, and in personality/attitude every day!  She is certainly becoming quite a sassy little toddler.  Reegan has learned to say "no" and LOVES to use the word as much as possible.  :(  We will ask her to bring us something or to sit down while she's on the couch (a new favorite stunt...) or to give hugs, and she just says "no, no, no, no, no..."  She'll go on and on too!  The good news coming out of her new-found independence is that Reegan can do a lot of things herself now.  If she's not in a "no" kind of mood, we can ask her all kinds of things and is willing to help out.  :)  Having a toddler really is a joy and provides us with plenty of laughs for sure.  Reegan cracks us up every single day and is so much fun to play with!!!


Since Reegan has found a love for slides, and since the weather this weekend was PERFECT - we decided it would be a fun 16-month birthday "gift" to let her run around at a nearby playground for as long as she wanted.  She had a blast!

She is serious about this slide.  She has this thing all figured out - climbs the stairs, walks over, sits down...

...and down she goes.  :)

This playground set had a ship theme and Reegan really enjoyed looking through the "portholes."


We thought we would also try out the swings.  Reegan has been on them before, but looked absolutely terrified the whole time.  :(  But today was a new day, so we figured we would try again...

It took a bit of coaxing by dad, but we got a few smiles out of her and I don't think she completely hated it.  Success!

We had a lot of fun at the playground.  In addition to saying no to EVERYTHING she has also become the picky eater.  If we offer her something that she doesn't want, she pushes the fork away or picks it up from her tray and moves it far away from her...oh independence is a joy :)
