Oh how they grow up so fast!

Ok, so this picture was taken around a month ago but I just think this look is priceless! We get a lot of interesting looks like this from our little Sarah bear.
Now this is more like it! I just can't believe Sarah is already 3 months old! She is such a joy in our family. Always, always smiling :) At her 2 month appointment she was 12 lbs 6 oz. and 22 1/2 inches long. A pound heavier ans an inch shorter than Reagan was at the same age.
Now Reagan has been growing like a weed- she is taller than a lot of kids older than her but she's just plain growing up into a little girl. She just recently moved into a toddler bed and loves her new "big girl bed." In fact, today she shooed me out of her bedroom, shut the door, and got into her bed all by herself and took a 2 hour nap. I couldn't believe it! She's already acting like a teenager- closing herself into her room all of the time. I'm worried.
One of Reagan's favorite things to do every day is paint. At first she was relly sloppy and didn't have much of an attention span. Now she tries to carefully blot the brush in the paint. I just love watching her little face full of concentration. I can see a look of pure satisfaction on her face.
Other things Reagan is up to:
1. Copying everything Erik or I say. Example: Erik was changing one of Reagan's dirty diapers. As usual he was grossed out and said :"Oh sick!" a few times. Now Reagan says that frequently and it sounds really cute, especiaaly when she says it while I change Sarah's messy diapers. We better be careful what we say around here!
2. She started calling Erik and I by our first names: Denny and Eggik. Funny thing is, Erik did the same thing when he was Reagan's age.
3. For months Reagan hasn't been able to count past two. Out of nowhere yesterday she proceeded to count to ten as she ate her grapes at lunch!
4. Lastly, Reagan loves dessert. Except she doesn't call it that. Apparently dessert sounds like the s word to her. Erik gets a kick out of her saying it.

I just can't believe how big she is getting! She definitely keeps us entertained around here.

Last of all- I would like to apologize again for the lack of blog posts. Not that I've ever posted regularly but that's besides the point. After a series of unfortunate events in the Rosenlof household, I think I'm back on my feet (sort of) and hope to post more regularly. That's if my little rugrats allow me the pleasure :)

An Easter post with pictures and a video to come soon.

Sooooo cute, we think Sarah looks like Erik and Reagan like you...Jacob still calls Wade by his first name, so don't plan on getting rid of that any time soon...hopefully your unfortunate events weren't too unfortunate and that you are doing well.

Seriously loving the pics. That face Sarah makes is adorable. Is she poohing? haha. And Reagan never did fail to entertain!! It's so fun to see her finally be able to vocalize what's been going on in that mind of hers.
Love your posts Jenny!

Great post! Your kids are just so cute. I love Reagan's little personality. Hopefully she will continue to just take 2 hour naps all on her own.

Your posts are always so cute. I love the pictures of Reagan and Sarah.

They are both growing so fast!

She has always been a character. I miss it.

Jenny - I am glad you posted and to hear that you are feeling better. A very similar thing happened to me after my first - scarey. I have been lurking on your blog, I hope you don't mind! Your girls are so cute!
