Reagan's Fun Trick!

New Car Seat!

Check this girl out!!  I finally caved earlier this week and ordered Reagan her "big girl" car seat!  I can hardly believe it is time to switch her over, however, it will be a lot easier to get her in and out of the car this way.  That infant seat was AMAZING to take in and out, but now that she wants to be in the cart or stroller wherever we go, it was time!

It was delivered yesterday and as soon as I got it out of the box Reagan was reaching for it, of course to stand against it, so I put her in and she loved it!  Yesterday she just sat in it for like five minutes :)  haha!  Today it kind of lost it's excitement, but I needed a picture! 

Next step, moving it into my car and out of the family room!

Eight Months!!

I can hardly believe that Reagan is EIGHT MONTHS old today. Seriously!? Only four more months and she will be ONE! Time REALLY does fly when you are having fun!

Reagan is getting busier and busier by the day! She loves to play with her toys and if there is something she can't reach, to her belly she goes and she will kind of army crawl to it or roll until she gets there. I had my cell phone on the floor of the family room the other day, I went into the kitchen to get a glass of water, came back in the family room and Reagan was halfway across the room getting my phone! The girl is quick!!

She is still trying to crawl, but isn't quite there yet. I have to say that I'm NOT complaining at all about that! I am excited for when she can move around more, but enjoying her semi-stationary-ness! :)

We are going to start "breakfast" now. I have still been giving her a morning bottle when she wakes up, but I think it is time for oatmeal and fruit! I can't believe it!! I will miss our morning ba-ba time watching our adorable Matt Lauer.

Reagan is a ticklish girl and loves to be upside down and thrown in the air. She is so social too!  Whenever we are out and people come up to her she'll just smile at them and "ahh, ahh, ahh."  She is a wild child, which means mommy and daddy need to watch out!!

Reaggie is so independent. She does a GREAT job playing with toys by herself or even entertaining herself lying on her back on the floor. When she gets really tired she likes to have someone with her all the time, but other than that she is on her own!

STANDING is the new favorite thing to do!! She always wants to be standing...holding onto the sofa, the ottoman, the coffee table, the kitchen chair, the bar stool, her crib, my drawers in my closet, you name it, the girl loves to stand! :) She has even stood for a second or two on her own, but I am in denial about that, so it doesn't really count!

The newest tricks are peek a boo and waving bye bye and hi! :)  It's so cute!!  She loves to play peek a boo with a blanket over her face and then pull it down when someone says, "Where's Reagan?!"  She gets the biggest kick out of that!

We just continue to be blessed with such a sweet, happy, healthy baby. She is an amazing baby, seriously! When I call her my angel girl, she really is. Last week I was trying to remember the last time she cried...it's amazing!  She just giggles all the time and has smiles that will melt your heart.

Happy EIGHT MONTH Birthday baby girl!!

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stats:

Reagan weighs ABOUT 22 or 23 pounds!!

Reagan is ABOUT 27 1/2 inches tall!

Reagan is wearing 12 month clothes very comfortably now!

Reagan is in a size 3 diaper, but probably not for too much longer! :)

Next month we go to the doctor for her NINE month check up! I will be anxious to see official stats then!

Beep Beep!

Do you see how big I am!?!  I can drive!!

Beep!  Beep!

Always standing!! 

Twilight!

I realize I am about five years passed due, but when I was out and about on Thursday I finally bought the first Twilight book.  I have heard all this hype about them being so good and I am in the mood for a good book, so I thought I'd give it a shot!  Have you read the series?  What do you think!?

What's This?!

Oh one day Reagan will LOVE me for posting this picture!  haha!  My mom gave Reagan strawberries in her little "mesh eater" the night of my birthday dinner.  We were all eating yummies, so why shouldn't Reagan have too!?  Well she didn't know what to think at first, but did start going to town on them after a few tastes!  It was pretty humerous.  Reagan is also really starting to enjoy her puffs!  I have to say they make me a little nervous, but she knows to "chew" them.  I guess this is what happens when you are almost EIGHT months old!!

Snow Days!

Well over the weekend you would have thought we got a blizzard in the state of North Carolina, however, it was only a few inches and some ice.  This was enough though to close down the state all day Saturday and slow things down Sunday and cancel schools today!  (My prediction is tomorrow too, but I don't know!)

The snow was so pretty and it started on Friday night.  With my mom and John here the plan was for Keith and I to go out on Saturday night to celebrate my birthday, but that just didn't happen!  Not only were the roads in our neighborhood untouched, still haven't been, but everything and their mother was closed!! :)  It's okay though because we had a great little Saturday and a delicious steak dinner!  Thank you mom and John! :) 

Bailey's new favorite spot...in front of the snuggie fireplace!

We all just hated having to spend all this time inside playing with Reagan...I mean she is just a miserable baby that is not cute at all..HAHAHAHA!!!  We all loved it!!  We had so much fun with her and man oh man does Reaggie LOVE her Mum-Mum!  Not one thing she did made her sad, in fact everything she did made her LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH!! :) 

Keith and I were able to sneak out on Saturday and Sunday to sled down the road in front of our house.  We do live at the bottom of a hill, so it became the neighborhood spot to sled!  I was so nervous with all the kids going down and about to plow into mailboxes, but they did fine! :)  It was a lot of fun!!

We did get to go out yesterday for a little big to see "The Blind Side" and go out to dinner.  We weren't gone too long because we didn't want the roads to be too bad, but it was nice to be out.  I honestly have NO idea what the last movie was Keith and I saw together, but this one was GREAT!!!  We loved it!  What an awesome story!!  If you haven't seen it yet, it's a MUST see!!

My mom and John left this morning and Keith had to go to work, not until 11 though.  So it's back to just Reaggie and I hanging out :)  I took her out in the snow for a little bit today because it is in the 40's, HEAT WAVE!  She didn't really have a clue about it, but did like the taste of it!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Happy Monday :)
