Pretty pretty

Rayden got a new necklace and she loves to wear it!! She says it is pretty. Here are a few pictures of her with it on!

The future Broadway star!!!!

Ahhhh what could be more fun than naked dancing???? It is one of Rayden's favorite things!! As soon as someone takes off her clothes she is running around wild singing and dancing for everyone. It is quite the sight....and hilarious!!!!!!!!! She is such a great singer and dancer!! I wish we had a video camera so all of you guys could see it too!

Daddy's Big Helper

Rayden got a new "My Little Mermaid" table and she loved helping daddy put it together! Not sure how much help she actually was.....but she sure had fun doing it! She wanted to put the table legs on the chairs....I guess she wanted a really tall chair!! What a big helper she is!

The Finished Product

So here is Rayden's new table all finished!! She loved it and played with it until it was time to go to bed. She likes to move the chairs around to different spots around the table and she likes to put things in the toy bin in the middle of the table! What a great table!!

18 Months Old!!!!!!!

Create Your Own

Rayden is now 18 months old.....time is still flying by and it is amazing to watch her grow into such a big girl! Rayden is just one big ball of energy and does not stop often!! She definitely makes for a fun and busy day!! She is talking all the time now and learning new words everyday....some of her favorites right now are "NO" and "MINE"!! Yes she does have quite the big attitude but we are trying to stop it! But on the other hand she is really good about saying "please" when she wants something.....but she also thinks she can get ANYTHING if she says please :) We just got her a potty chair and she loves to sit on it and say "poo poo" I am sure we will have some pictures soon. She is such a fun and happy girl. She LOVES to read books now and if you do not refuse she will come up to you ALL day long and say "read" and have a book in her hand, the majority of the time it will be the same book that you have already read again and again and again! Rayden loves helping around the house by helping with laundry and especially vacuuming! We cannot wait to see what the next 18 months have in store for us!

Curlers

I put Rayden's hair up in some sponge curlers for her 18 month pictures. She was actually really good and sat still until the last two! I had to get some pictures because she looked so cute with them in!!

Imagination and Discovery

They have a really cool place here in Medford called "Imagination and Discovery" This place is huge and there are so so many things for kids to do there. They have a gated in toddler room that has a ton of stuff to play with and on and a ball pit and a whole kitchen. They also have a big stage with tons of dress up clothes so the kids can pretend, a pretend grocery store, a pretend resteraunt, a hugs craft area with chalkboards and marker boards.....and so so so many more things! Rayden LOVES going there and will play and run for hours!!! She is always exhausted when she gets home though! What a fun place!!
