3 Months Old!

Today is Miss Reagan Mae's 3 month birthday! She started the day off BEAUTIFULLY by not waking up ONCE in the middle of the night!! She slept straight from 7:45 until 6:45!! We were SOOOO happy! :) After playing for a little while she took her morning snooze and then it was off to have her pictures taken. Poor thing was about ready for another "cat nap" by the time her pictures were being done and kind of had a meltdown, but we got a couple cute shots! (Obviously those are to come...I need to do my standard take the picture of the picture..haha!) We tooled around the mall for a little bit and then it was home for a nap. Hard to believe only 9 more "monthly" updates and she will be ONE!!

Halloween Costume Vote!

Now that it is September, it is about time to start thinking about Reagan's Halloween costume. Keith is already excited to take her trick or treating, well to a few houses anyway! :) So the vote is on for a lady bug, bumble bee, or chicken. I can not guarantee the "winner" will be "the one," but chances are I will go with the one with the most votes!! :) Happy Voting!

Big Girl!

Reags was sitting in her Bumbo today and I just couldn't help but snap a couple shots! She is getting so big and is really holding up that head well. :)

Chatty Cathy!

Yesterday Reagan was on her play mat, her favorite, and was just chatting away! She loves the little sunshine at the top that lights up. My camera cut me off, but in 12 seconds you get the gist...she is a talker!! :)

Go Pack!

Tonight is the home opener for the Wolfpack, Keith's MBA alma-mater, and of course I HAD to put Reagan is some of her NC State gear! Keith had me send a picture on his phone of his Wolfpack baby! Little biased I know, but I think she is pretty cute! Oh...the make shift bow is taped in her hair!! You gotta do what you gotta do! GO PACK!! (To all my Carolina fan friends, you have to admit she looks good in red, but Carolina blue might be EVEN PRETTIER!!)

Feeling Guilty...

So I was talking to my Gran tonight, who called to see if I got any more sleep last night, and told her that I was feeling guilty about my blog post yesterday...I feel like I made it sound so negative! Reagan is such a GREAT baby!! She really is so happy, peaceful, sweet, and wonderful!! The ONLY thing that I would love to get better is the sleeping through the night...I am so lucky though because it's not like I have to be at work in the morning, so I shouldn't complain. Thank you so much for the comments and emails on tips/suggestions, I really appreciate it!

I spent a lot of time today, while Reags was napping, researching what to do! I did come across some of the BabyWise tips, which I know some friends have used. One of their big things is "E.A.S.Y." (eat.activity.sleep.you time) After I read that today it was time for Reagan to eat, I gave her the bottle, we played for about 45 minutes and then I put her down. She laughed for a little while and talked, but then was out! Not surprising though because she is a great late morning/early afternoon napper.

Tonight I gave her a bath, gave her her bottle, which she didn't drink all of, and was out! I read that at her age they should be drinking about 32 oz. a day...I wrote down all of her feedings, including the 3:15am one, and she was right at 32oz! Now I somehow have to get her off of that middle of the night feeding...I know it will happen in due time! She isn't even 3 months old yet, well will be in 2 days! :)

Again, thank you for the tips! She is snoozing soundly right now and I think I am going to go lie down myself!

OH...speaking of sleeping...I went out and bought Reagan 6 month pajamas today...her 3 monthers were getting way too short for her! Such a big girl !:)

Sleeping??

So I need some advice fellow moms...SLEEPING! Reagan was doing SOO great she started sleeping through the night about 3 weeks ago and it lasted for 2 weeks. We were in PA last week and she was waking up in the middle of the night and I figured it was probably because we were in different surroundings. Well she still will NOT sleep through the night...some nights she is even wanting to eat 6 ozs!! Could it be a growth spurt?! What do you think?

I feel like I am a bad mom because I can't get her on any kind of "schedule." I know she is still so little, but it's hard having an unpredictable sleeper. Not to mention I can NOT go back to sleep after she wakes up in the middle of the night so I am one sleepy momma!

Any tips would be great! (I type this as she is snoozing away! She fell asleep in my arms at about 11:15 and has been sleeping since...feedings are all out of whack now for the day! Oh well...)
