Busy Day & Close Call

We all had a very busy day today. We started out with a trip to a big children's resale event. We only picked up a few items but it was a nice trip out. From there we took Daddy's car to Firestone for some work and then to Babies R Us. Daddy bought the kids the cutest little pull-out sofa at Babies R Us. We haven't gotten any pictures yet, but both Nate and Reagan really seem to like it. Later we finished up with brunch at the Old Country Buffet. As usual the kids threw most of their meal all over the floor and we pitied the poor people who had to clean up the giant mess, but still we had a great time and really enjoyed the food.

Later in the evening is when the big disaster struck. Mommy went downstairs to get some laundry and left the gate to the stairs wide open. She thought Daddy was watching the kids in the Kitchen so we are both to blame for what happened next. Poor little Nathan took a tumble all the way to the bottom of the 12 steps. No one actually saw the fall but we all heard it. My heart just stopped when I realized what had happened. Thank God there were no injuries and Nathan seemed perfectly fine just minutes after the whole ordeal. We are all so very lucky!

I didn't have time to take pictures today but I have a video clip from yesterday of Nathan making the sound that he says the most, "Mem, Mem, Mem" in his VERY high pitched voice. I couldn't get a good video of Reagan but her favorite sound is "Da, Da, Da" in a MUCH lower tone than her brother. Unfortunately Reagan was being very shy in this clip. Hope you enjoy!
