And it's Snowing again...

With the end of winter in sight, I hope, I'm so excited for Spring!! Reagan is almost 8 months old already and she is doing something new almost every day. She's been crawling now for about 3 weeks, just goes even faster every day. She pulls herself up on everything and as just started walking along the furniture. She has 2 or 4 teeth coming in on the bottom, I can't tell for sure how many. She is so darn cute abd trying to help me type this. She went with me to Ryan's alumni basketball games with me last Saturday. I sure love having a little best friend to go with me everywhere. Ryan's team lost their first game, won their second, and lost their third. So for the first time in awhile they didn't play Sunday. He's pretty soar today!! Ryan's been a stay-at-home dad the last few weeks, and he's been enjoying it. I told him, it's going to be so hard to go back to work. Especially because she is so much more fun everyday. She's a mix though still of a mama's girl and daddy's girl. Da-Da was her first word though. It's easier.

Vikings Win Again!!

We just watched the Vikes win another game, it's been a great season. We've been splitting up where we watch the games by taking turns each week between our house, Prink's house, and the Nerison's house. Everyone was over here today except Michelle, Sophia, and baby Finnegan. We missed them! So happy Finnegan is finally here. He looks just like his sister and daddy! I've only seen him once and he slept the whole time so hopefully when I visit this week, we'll be awake. Pam and I did a photo shot w/ Reagan last weekend for some Christmas pictures. See below, they're were a lot of cute ones w/ Willy but couldn't post them all. Yesterday Rea and I went out to lunch w/ my mom and sisters. Whitney finally got home the other day from school in Winona. They got 15 inches of snow there so she was stuck a couple extra days and now she's home until the 11th of January. After lunch we all went to mom's and baked a bunch of cookies, it was a nice Saturday! I was a little tired though from the night before. Some of us from wor

k went out to this dive bar in Eagan and yes, I sang a little karaoke. Everyone said I was pretty good, Ryan laughed when I told him that and he said they must have all been drunk. Thanks dear! Not much else going on other than that! Just hoping to finally get some Christmas presents bought this week. It's empty under our tree!

5 Months Old

Reagan is now over 5 months old! She is growing perfectly. She's sitting up by herself for a little bit at a time and rolling over constantly. She loves to walk on the kitchen floor in her walker. She always manages to come up behind me and smoke me in the heels! She celebrated her first Halloween dressed as a duck, although now I'm thinking it was more like a chick. We had a Halloween Party so there's some pics of us in costume. Ryan and I booked our Vegas trip today! I'm taking him for his 30th birthday in April, it's going to be so much fun. Other than that, we're just laying low waiting in anticipation for the holidays, baby Nerison, and Joe and Sara's wedding. It's going to be 2010 before we know it!

4 Months Old

Little Reagan is 4 months old as of yesterday!! I had the day off today to take my lil girl to the dr. office. She was all smiles and having a blast until the dreaded needles got slammed in her little thighs. She cried so hard she was gasping for breath, I was able to calm her down pretty quickly. She now weighs 13 lbs 3 1/2 ozs and is 24 1/2" long. Just were she is supposed to be. Her heads a little big, go figure though, Ryan is her dad.

Tonight it's going to be just Reagan and daddy as I am heading to Eagan w/ my sisters to have a few drinks and dinner. Looking forward to a little girl time.

Milestone!

Well lil Miss Reagan finally rolled over from her back to her belly. She's been so close for the last week and she finally did it on Wednesday, for her dad only. I still have yet to see it, I did see her belly to back rollover at 6 weeks, but this is much bigger. I'm glad though that it was one of us who saw it. We're still working on it. Last night Pam and Laura were over and we were sitting around Reagan on the floor, she got over, but we screamed with excitement and she popped back over to her back...so close:-)

Today we're venturing out for some garage sales. It's the city wide, last year at this time I was pregnant, didn't know though yet. And tomorrow we have another big Vikings game and Sophia's 2nd birthday party. I can't believe she's already 2!!!!

Reagan's been so intrigued by Willy these days. She just sits and watches him wherever he goes. I've attached some pictures of their tender moments.

Changing Everyday!!

Reagan is already almost 4 months old and she is so much fun. She's a very active little girl and loves how she can kick her legs and stand on them now. She was baptized last weekend and she was so good in church, no crying at all! I went back to work on Aug. 31st so she's been going to daycare, if you can even call it that. She goes to Grandma Pam's everyday and gets plenty of attention. She takes evening naps because I think she gets really worn out from watching the other 2 girls that are there part-time. My mom did get her a couple days last week since she was off from work. They had so much fun together!

2 Months Old

Reagan is already 2 months old and she has changed so much in the last couple of weeks. Well everyday she's changing. She's been sleeping through the night now, in her crib, since July 30th. I usually get about 9 1/2 hours. We are definitely in a routine, bedtime around 9:30pm and she sleeps till 6 or 6:30am. It has been really nice for me, but some mornings I feel like I'm just waiting for her to wake up, because she usually goes back to sleep again for a couple of hours after having a bottle. I use this time to start laundry, straighten up, maybe work out. For as much as I feel like I'm doing stuff, I sure feel like I have a lot of down time too. I love just holding her still when she first falls asleep, she's not going to be this little forever so I enjoy it now. Plus, I'm back to work in 3 weeks :-( Grandma Pam is excited about that though, since she then gets the baby all day! We are so lucky to have someone we know doing daycare, but of course I'd rather it be me home with her all day. Reagan is also on the verge of holding her own bottle, she always has her hands on it when I'm feeding her. She can be very independent. One day she cries when I pick her up and the next day she cries when I put her down. She is usually most happy though laying on her back and having you talk to her. She talks and coos a lot and smiles a ton!! We are getting ready for her first little vacation, a trip up North this weekend with the Murphy family. We're staying in a cabin on the lake somewhere 4 hours away. They'll be a boat and a pontoon so it will be lots of fun. I hope Reagan enjoys it too.
