So Much to Catch Up On!









Ok...I'll admit it, I have been blog stalking some people. And do you know what I've noticed? I'm am SO far behind the 8 ball. Really, if anyone out there actually reads my blog, I am sorry. Please forgive me. Please keep writing yours, though, they keep me informed and entertained.
(Oh so funny...Reagan is laying on the floor next to me and just noticed herself in the full length mirror. She is cracking herself up!)


So, I guess I should do the official Reagan update. Miss Rea-Rea turned 6 months on the 8th of March. At her 6 month doctor visit, we found out that she weighs 17 lbs. 1 oz. and is 27 inches long. She also had her 6 month pictures taken in her little Easter dress. (Sorry - she has already worn it to church. We broke Easter dress rules)

She is totally into solid food now and opens her mouth at the sight of any. She actually ate some green beans without gagging -- that's progress, folks! She can sit up for a few seconds and rolls/scoots all over the place. I keep waiting to see her first tooth pop out and/or catch her crawling. Henrietta, her horsie (horsey?), is still Rea's favorite friend and she spends many precious moments riding out her frustrations. If you have a baby, BUY A JUMPAROO!!

I still would like to shed some of my remaining baby weight (without working out, of course), but did fit into a skirt I bought before I was pregnant. Hey, it made my day.

Devin and I celebrated our 5th anniversary on March 13th. 5 years! My mom was here for the weekend, so Devin and I went out on a date to Outback. After our dinner, we stopped by Babies R Us and bought a high chair. My, how times have changed!
The first weekend in March brought the first snow Richmond has seen in 3+ years. Reagan and I got snowed in at my parents' house for a few days. Fun for us! It was nice to finally see some real snow and to see Reagan in it....for about 3 minutes. We didn't come prepared for the weather since it was in the 60s when we left to go up there.
Devin is still working like crazy and trying to stay afloat as a financial advisor in our struggling economy. Any time things would like to get better, we would certainly appreciate it. Until then, we'll just keep on keepin' on.

And last, but not least....It is officially IDOL SEASON!! Can ya stand it?! Watch out for Adam and Danny. Adam was amazing last night, but I think Danny has my heart.

Until next time...

Happy Birthday to Me!




Well...it happened...I turned 27! How is that even possible?? Sunday was my birthday and it was pretty low key. We went up to NoVa for the weekend. Devin and I actually went out on a date Saturday night while my parents watched Reagan. We went to Texas de Brazil and had a good time. We finished way too early for a date so we went back out to Toys R Us (exciting, I know) and bought Reagan a jumparoo...best invention EVER!! She loves it. Unfortunately, I left my camera at Mom and Dad's house, so the pictures will have to wait.


Sunday, Mana and Grandaddy came over for dinner and cake. Devin fell asleep right after the cake...definitely not the most exciting birthday ever. I do feel a little bit older this year...probably because I had to grow up in a big way becoming a mom.


Here's to a brand new year!

Big Day!




So, as I was downloading the pictures for that last post I walked into Reagan's room to see why she hadn't fallen asleep yet...And here's what I found!!!!


She rolled over onto her tummy for the first time! Of course her foot was between the bars, but you can tell by this picture how happy we BOTH were. We've been expecting this to happen for over a month now.


Here is a picture of her a little while ago during tummy time...this is pre-rolling over. She's 20 weeks today and check out those baby blues.

P.S. We haven't forgotten about Winnie...she's still our first child.




So...Um...Yeah...







Well, it's January at least. Sorry about that New Year's Day idea. Good thing I didn't write any new resolutions.



Here are some pictures of Reagan who has now graduated on to rice cereal! Woot! At her 4 month doctor visit, a few weeks ago, she weighed 14lbs. 11oz. and was 25 1/4 inches long. I'm sure she's well past 15 lbs. now.



Enjoy!
