Regan is 18 Months old!

Regan is 18 months old. She surprises me with how much she knows. She is just a little sponge and takes in everything. I like to ask her to point to her various body parts because I didn't realize how much she already knows. I think with Ryan we would sit and go over the names of everything. With Regan there seems to be limited time, but, she knows them. Regan still loves to dance and my favorite thing to do is turn on the music and tell her, "Regan, dancing time." She will then dance and laugh. It is great entertainment. Another thing Regan loves to do is say, "Thank you." Any time you give her something she always says thank you. Of course it sounds like daa du. Anytime one of us sneezes, Regan is the first to say, " Bless you." Although she can't quite distinguish between a cough and a sneeze so most times she will bless you after a cough too. Regan loves looking for airplanes when we drop Ryan off at school. She also loves to look for helicopters and dogs when she sits in the stroller during my workout. If she spots either of these, she will yell doggy or a muffled Regan version of the word helicopter until I acknowledge that I, too, have seen them. We have also been experiencing some crazy tantrums. She will throw herself on the floor and scream, tense her body until she is shaking, or just run around screaming. Do not make the mistake of picking her up when she is having a tantrum. We have to give her space and when she is done she will come over soaked with sweat and a tear stained face looking for some love. Regan has been talking so much these days and moving very quickly. I have to be on my toes when we are outside because she will take off in a flash. She loves playing with other kids, but is obsessed with her brother. He is her favorite! Whenever she wakes up from her nap before him she asks,"Where's Ry-Ry?" In the morning when she wakes up, the first thing she says is, "Where's Ry-Ry?" She really loves him and he loves her too.
