It has happened again...

Once again the women of the Heine household are being quarantined at home with illness. I am not sure how it happened, but once again Jason seems to have slipped by unscathed. Reegan was sent home from daycare yesterday with possible pink eye. Jason called the doctor to take her in and they wouldn't see her because pink eye is so contagious. We have a prescription eye drop for her and today there is no drainage or pink color, so I am not totally convinced it is pink eye after all. If you were to ask Reegan, she would tell you that eye drops have been the worst thing to come into this house. If you happen to be on our street, in our neighborhood, or probably in Olathe during eye drop time you can hear the screams coming from this child. :)

I am home today with "just a cold", I hate when people say oh its just a cold, no big deal. I know that it could be a lot worse, but "just a cold" is causing me to not sleep, not hear (ears are plugged up), and I sound like a man...really my voice is half in, half out and it all sounds manly.

As much as I hate being sick and I hate it even more seeing Reegan sick, it is nice to have another day at home with my baby. Oh, how I love that girl. Even when she is not feeling good, she is so happy and plays so hard that she gets sweaty. We have done most of our Christmas decorating (pictures to follow) and last night she sat on the floor and played with all of our stuff.

Thursday morning, bright and early, Jason and I are leaving for our cruise!!!! We are so excited for our mini getaway and apprehensive about leaving Reegan, it never gets easier. Prayers that the shenanigans that happened with the Carnival ship does not repeat itself with Royal Caribbean this weekend :)

Stats...

Oh my gosh! We literally just remembered that we promised everyone the latest statistics for our favorite little baby girl (although it doesn't seem like "baby" is going to apply much longer...). So, at Reegan's official 9-month check up at the doctor, she weighed in at 19 lbs, 4 oz. and measured a whopping 28 and 7/8 inches tall! That puts her in the 50th percentile in weight and the 90th in height. Tall and skinny...hmmm, does that remind us of anyone??? Maybe her dad...

Go Chiefs!

Sunday, Jason and I went to the Chiefs game and had a great time! We had great seats, thanks Uncle Richard!!! Plus the Chiefs won...it was a great game to be at!

The National Anthem was a little different, it was played by the lead guitarist from Guns and Roses. Needless to say, he was pretty darn goo dat playing the guitar.

Reegan did not go with us, but we dressed her for the occassion anyway. I think she's ready to go to her first game soon!!

9 Months

Reegan is 9 months old and is so big and SO fun. We go to the doctor on Friday and I will update her ht/wt after!

-She now has 6 teeth (7th is so close to popping through!)
-LOVES to eat, anything and everything
-Says Dada!!!
-opens drawers and takes everything off the shelves
-walks with her walker all over our house (luckily we already had the baby gate on the top of the stairs installed)
-claps
-waves
-high-fives (sometimes)
-can entertain herself for a long time
-gives us the biggest smiles and giggles when we come home and see her! It melts our hearts!!!


I know my favorite book is here somewhere...
Dad, I'm ready for my bath...where are you?
I'm eating a banana out of my strainer for the first time!!!
Should I walk with my walker or walk around the ottoman? Maybe I'll do both
I say it every month, but this photo shoot was the HARDEST! Reegan would not stop moving for a second.
I attempted to put a bow in Reegan's hair for the first time. It looks OK in this pic, but her hair is still too fine for the bow. It kept flopping around and turning upside down...I think its going to be a while longer before they become a regular accessory.
Look at my teeth momma!!!
I'm done taking pictures, how do I get down from here?
We had a busy weekend. Friday night we went out to dinner with some friends and then ended the evening at Oak Park Mall so the kids could play while we talked. We tried hard to get Reegan to play with Jack and Annabelle, but the kids were not interested in getting to know one another. It'll happen in its own time.
Saturday we ran some errands and found this cute rocking horse. I think I liked it more than she did!

Sunday we had a family brunch, here Reegan is with my grandparents (and showing off her clapping)!
Who knew spoons were SO exciting.

More Videos!!

Since our last video of Reegan crawling, it has changed once again! She is now doing the traditional army crawl and is faster than ever. She is really good at changing directions as well.

Reegan's new favorite activity is cruising. She holds onto our coffee table or her walker and is off! In this a short video she is walking away, so you can't see the proud look on her face, but trust me its there.


This video is LONG, like 3 and 1/2 min, so don't feel like you have to watch it all. She is walking once again, but this time something is very funny to her, so every few feet she stops and giggles. So cute...

Halloween

Well, I am a little late posting these, but better late than never!

Reegan had 2 Halloween costumes this year...first off was the beautiful ladybug!!!
Are these for me?
Next up was a pretty Ballerina!
Where is the candy?
