These past few weeks Regan has been learning lots of new "tricks", and she loves to show them off. She knows how to clap her hands, and will clap when you clap, when you say "Clap" or "Yay!". She even clapped when she saw someone on TV clapping!
She also loves to wave "hi". While at the Doctors office today she waived to call the kids in the waiting room, the nurse, the Doctor, me, Grandma...everyone. To make things even more impressive; she has a different wave when she wants to wave "bye-bye". The "hi" wave is mostly a twist of the wrist with her palm facing out. "Bye-bye" is the whole arm waving back and forth. It's too cute.
She also likes to put her arms "up" and "down", or will lift an object over her head for "up". She also raises her arms when we yell "touchdown!".
Now when one of her new toys starts playing music, she will bounce with the beat. If you say "dance baby, dance", she starts bouncing and "dancing". The kid's got rhythm!

Waving "hi"
Today we went to the Doctors for her 9 month appointment. Here are her latest stats:
Weight: 17# 11oz - 24%
Height: 28.25" - 68%
Head Circ: 17" - 22%
So even though we pick on her for being chubby, she is actually tall and thin! The Doctor says she's all cheeks! Besides that everything checked out well, and we don't have to go back until her birthday! I can't believe it's less than three months away!
Here are a few more pictures from last week:
Trying out some of her new toys from Santa
The Dog and Fairy Princess were in on the action too
Opening some gifts from Grandma and Grandpa
All these gifts and she wants to play with a paper plate
Out to lunch with Aunt Erin, sitting in a high chair for the first time!
Struggling to read one of the big books Aunt Erin got her for Christmas
This is what happens when you leave the bowl of food unattended for a split second
Holding her sippy up all by herself! She finally figured out how to tip it!
