I'm just going to do a quick recap from October. At the beginning of the month we went to Kansas to see my family. We try to make it back every couple of months. Most of you know, my dad has had a lot of health problems. Just in the last few months he has gotten progessively worse. Papa Ronnie loves Raegan and Brady....mostly because he doesn't see them often :) He likes quiet so he only likes to have the grandkids in small doses. Brady is into everything....he loves to climb! Raegan has a table and chairs in our play area and his favorite spot to play with toys is sitting on top of the table. He does a great job though of getting himself down. He knows to go feet first. He pulls up to just about anything but has not let go to stand on his own yet. He plays with all of his sisters toys but he has recently started gravitating towards the "boy" toys like cars and balls. He wants to eat whatever we have on our plates. He doesn't eat much baby food anymore. Guess I can't blame him. He is very vocal and babbles a lot. He says "Dada, Bye Bye and what sounds like Hi." He's a natural...
Grandma Pat came to visit for about a week at the end of Oct. We love when she visits!! Raegan even snuggled in "Grandma's bed" a couple of nights. Not sure Grandma got much rest but I know she enjoyed Raegan being a "Grandma's girl". While Grandma was here we took Raegan and Tori to the Frisco Barktoberfest. The girls followed the Clifford the Big Red Dog around most of the time. We had some friends that entered their dogs in the costume contest so we went to show our support. Our friends dogs have won the contest three years in a row now. They don't have children so they get elaborate with the dogs costumes. Finally, Halloween. Raegan and Brian carved a pumpkin and we all enjoyed making and eating pumpkin seeds. We all dressd up as pirates. Brady didn't seem to like his costume but we all enjoyed ours. Raegan went around saying "arrrrr matey". She got to wear her costume to Dance class and the Friday before Halloween when we went to visit Brian at work. Giving her Buddy James a Smooche In December, Raegan had her first parent observation class for her tap & ballet class. We usually just get to watch through a mirrored glass so this is our opportunity to take pictures and/or video. For being the youngest in her class, she is doing really well. It will be fun to watch her progress. Most importantly, she loves going to dance and having fun!

I had to include this video because it just makes me giggle. Brady loves to play "chase" with his daddy and big sis!
