Working up a thirst

I layed Reegan on her playmat for 10 minutes while I got a load of laundry started. When I returned, she had scooted all the way off her mat. Look at that smile on her face, I think she was proud of herself.

Reegan is also getting a little more cordinated when using both hands. She often will hold (or try) her own bottle in the evening and now thinks everything is a bottle. She kept reaching for Jason's water, so he eventually gave in and let her have it.
She had the right idea, but I think may have been more interested in eating it. We've definitely reached the stage of wanting to put everything in the mouth.

Tennessee Vacation

Warning, this is a super long post, so you have my permission to skip over it if you would like! I tried to edit pictures as much as I could, but these are the ones that I couldn't bring myself to not post! Enjoy....



Reegan and I flew (with my mom) to Tennessee to visit family. While we flew, my Grandparents, Aunt Lisa, and Cousin Dalton all made the drive over. This was Reegans first time on an airplane and she did great! In fact, when the flight was over the people in front of us said that they didn't even know there was a baby on the flight!!!





The noise and movement of the airplane was perfect, Reegan slept for most of the flight.



Relaxing in the hotel room, after a long day of traveling.

We managed to get a lot in on our 4 day trip. We went to visit my great gradmother at the nursing home and were able to get a 5 generation picture. Granny sure loved the baby, she kept wanting to hold her!

Reegan and Cousin Dalton

We went to visit Cousin Charles and Virginia. Reegan's first time on a tractor...not sure when this will be repeated :)

We saw some baby goats, this was thumper and she (or he???) was 5 weeks old. I don't have a picture but there was a one week old (named reecey) and she was SO cute.

First time in a pool! It was a little too cold to keep her in there for long, but she loved it!Bath time was also different, we had to use the sink

Since Reegan became a pro on the airplane, she wanted her own seat :)

4 Months Old & First Cereal

Well, Reegan is officially 4 months old now and she is definitely cuter than ever! It's amazing how much she has changed since she was born. She is developing such a wonderful personality and she just loves to tell you everything!! We've got a bunch of pics to share from the past few days, so enjoy!

Reegan with Grandpa Stacey at lunch on her "birthday"

Grandma Kim let Reegan try her hand at driving...I think she's mainly just trying to eat the steering wheel. :)

Getting ready to head over to Grayson Foster's 1st birthday party!

Mom and Daughter at the party - two beautiful girls!

The birthday boy Grayson - he definitely loved his cupcake. He dove right in.

Apparently watching Grayson eat the cupcake was all Reegan could handle. She literally fell asleep in a matter of seconds while we were standing there and she slept all the way home and for a couple hours in total.

At the doctor today for the 4-month checkup. Reegan weighed in at 14 pounds, 1.5 ounces, and she was 25 inches tall!! What a growing baby. She is in the 75th percentile in both height and weight - right on track. :)

The big event of today was Reegan's first experience eating rice cereal. Jess and I were really excited to try this with her.

Jess tried feeding her first...

Then I gave it a shot...the video is of her very first tastes. I think she actually didn't mind it too much.

Play Time!

Reegan is becoming a more active baby by the minute these days. What this means to us is more PLAY TIME! Play time is usually many different activities over about an hour or so. Everything we have gets put to use...the exersaucer, the jumper, the play mat, and the Bumbo chair. Reegan loves them all and it's so much fun to watch her play! She is really starting to examine things now and sometimes she just stops and stares and touches whatever is in front of her. It's so cute. :)

On Sunday we headed out to sand volleyball with our church for the first time this summer. Reegan had lots of fun hanging out with all of our friends. Jess wasn't planning to play, but our team needed another female to play so Reegan was shared amongst 5 or 6 "babysitters." She was SO good the whole time and it was nice to spend some time outside for a change. This pic is before we played...mom and daughter having fun in the shade. :)


Tonight during play time, we tried to see if Reegan would stand on the outside of her exersaucer. Standing is one of her favorite things to do when you're holding her, so we thought we'd see if she would hold onto the saucer herself. She actually did pretty good - she stood the whole time, but obviously she's still very unsteady. We were able to snap a quick pic though...



Okay, I won't lie...this picture was just plain too cute not to post. I love, love, love her cute little face!!

And finally, our first video shot with our Flip camera. We were eating dinner tonight towards the end of Reegan's play time. She was loving her exersaucer as usual and we had turned on the CMT Awards. We had no idea she was going to love country music so much...and yes the screams you will hear are happy screams - she has definitely found her voice as well. ;)

Best Friends???

Reegan loves her Bella!

Memorial Day weekend

We had a lot of fun this weekend! Saturday, the 3 of us went to the plaza to walk around and enjoy the beautiful weather. We didn't take any pictures while we were down there, but we took a couple of pictures before we left. Reegan has some great summer clothes, she looks so cute!

Sunday we went to a family BBQ, we really enjoyed ourselves. Unfortunately for Reegan, she spent most of the time sleeping. I love how she always seems to be posing for pictures even when she is asleep.

Monday we stayed at home and enjoyed some relaxation. We are still working on getting Reegan to roll over for the video camera and here is a picture from the latest attempt. She is now rolling over multiple times a day, but when the camera comes out she is all smiles...video to come (hopefully)
