My girls

Reagan will be 11 weeks tomorrow! She is totally into the binky now which we are happy about. It is so nice to have something to help sooth and calm her. She still sucks on her hand at times and I try and swaddle her with one or both arms out so she can learn to self sooth. Sometimes this works and but usually she is mad and will not go to sleep without being completely swaddled. She is really finding her voice and making the cutest noises. She does a little sqealy laugh occastionally. She loves being talked to and smiled at when she is on the floor playing. She will lay by helself for a little while but overall seems to require being intertained more than Katya did. She is in cloth diapers now and that is going well. Lastly, she is so freaking cute I can't stand it! I love her chub and her beautiful eyes. Craig and I are quite smitten by her (of course).

Katya really likes her Disney "Princess" book pack that Aunt Rena got her. It is great because it has some of her favorite characters (Bell, Snow White, the Faries from Sleeping Beauty) and each book teaches her about something: shapes, colors, opposits, numbers, animals and letters. I have read them a lot lately and the other day she opened the opposits book to the appropriate page and said, "up, down!" Another time she opended the ABC book to the first page and said "Do-py," since D is for Doppy. So cute! She is getting really good at her shape box where she puts the right shaped block into the right hole. She sometimes needs help getting them in but she is getting better and better. She is really good at recognizing the shape and finding the corresponding shape on the box. She gets the square and the rectangle mixed up and the hexagon and the octagon but that is understandable. She is so smart!

I am typing this post on our new computer; Yeah! I don't have any pictures on here yet so new pictures are to come. Love and prayers to all, Brenda
