Reagan and Katya stuff

Reagan is starting to make a gurgley laughing noises. I am not sure if it is an official first laugh because it is still ambiguous but it sure is cute! Speaking of ambiguous, Reagan's eyes are quite a mystery. They seem to have gotten lighter, which we did not expect and it is so hard to tell what color they will turn out to be. They definitely have light brown in them but also some greyish/bluish/green around the outside edge. I think I would call them hazel right now but of course they still can change quite a bit. They look different in different lighting too. There is a little streak of dark brown in one of her eyes. It is pretty small, so not real noticeable. It may be a unique fluke that stays there like her Aunt Eryn has. Eryn's eyes are blue but one of her eyes has a brown "patch."

I have some disposable diapers I trying to use up before Reagan grows out of them (which she really already has but we are pushing it) and then we will go to the cloth full time. I decided to just have Reagan in the cloth and keep Katya in disposables. Katya is cheaper to buy for since she does not go through as many diapers a day. Plus she pees such huge volumes now that she is older we were having trouble with the cloth diapers leaking. Reagan sure looks cute in the Bum Genius diapers! I have been using Katya's Fuzzi Bunz without the insert to cover her disposable diapers. She has been wearing dresses so much and I like having a barrier between the disposable that droops as it fills up and things like our couch. Plus they look cute.


Katya is really copying our words these days. It is pretty cute. She also likes to say "Umm-hum, yah" when I am talking to her about something. A lot of times she is not following what I am saying but still says, "yah, uh-huh." Here is a picture of her drinking milk out of a big girl cup. She liked trying this but would get upset when the milk spilled.

We think Katya is going to love camping; being outside all the time! How fun. Here is a picture of our awesome new tent that Craig and I got with our birthday money. We can't wait to use it in a few weeks! (July 2nd and 3rd).

I was able to coax Katya out of her Aunt Candace made dress (so I could wash it) into the one in this picture. She is being pretty particular about what she wants to wear. She has gone several days and nights in a row in the Aunt Candy dress, which is her favorite, but she is now liking this pink one too. It is way too big on her and she is constantly taking the spaghetti straps off. I have to get pretty creative at night to get her into PJ's without lots of screaming (some nights I don't even try, not worth the fight).

Katya's new big thing is she is opening doors! She still has to try pretty hard but can turn the knob and open a closed door. What a big girl!

We are leaving tomorrow for Duvall. Alexi's high school graduation is tomorrow night and the open house for her is on Sat. We are looking forward to seeing everyone and celebrating with Lexi. Katya is very excited to see Grandma and Baba Doug. We are coming home Sat night because our dogs will be home alone (the neighbors will come over and feed/let them out). It will be nice for us to have a day at home before our crazy week starts again. Monday and Tuesday are long days for both Craig and I since he works all day long. Bye for now!
