We were thinking of everyone yesterday and hoping you all had a great holiday. We sure did! We drove to Windsor to spend Christmas with Nonna, Papa and family. Reagan is so spoiled by all of her grandparents!! She got all kinds of clothes, toys and books. She loves all of her toys. She got a singing purse, singing book, musical piano, baby laptop, ball popper, and I could go on and on. On Christmas day we went to Uncle Pete and Aunt Amy’s for delicious food and great company. Reagan met someone her age and size! Evan was born 13 days before Reagan and they played with each other as well as the older kids. She seemed to really enjoy herself. So much so that Mom and Dad are considering putting her in daycare to socialize.

Mom and Dad’s friends, Megan and Robbie Rice, came to visit CA from Indiana this week and we got to hang out with them last night. Reagan just loved Robbie, she would smile and act coy for him. She kept reaching for him and if he tilt his head, she’d tilt hers for him. It was quite cute.

As some of you already know, Mom decided to quit breastfeeding. We did great for 8 months but it’s getting to be quite a bit of work and Reagan seems to like the bottle better. We’ll supplement with formula until she’s a year old and then we can give her milk. Mom’s a little bummed but also relieved to have her body back.

Tomorrow we’re heading to Windsor to see Nonna and Papa and the rest of the family for Christmas. We’ll be sure to get a lot of great pictures!

We started supplementing Reagan’s breast milk with some formula yesterday as Mommy’s supply has dropped. She actually likes it seems. She also slept very hard during nap time, according to her Daddy. She has slept through the night for the past three nights, finger’s crossed it stays that way.

She did very well and wasn’t scared. She wouldn’t smile either though. Her new facial expression is to srunch up her face/wrinkle her nose. It’s quite comical. We caught it on camera.

Nana and Parker have spent the last few days with Reagan, spoiling everyone. We had a great time and Reagan seemed to enjoy the company.

Reagan has slept through the night the past couple nights. Mom is trying to not give in to her when she fusses. She’s eating more solids now, at least twice a day. She likes squash, peas, green beans, peaches and her cereal. It’s been fun to let her try new things. She loves to blow raspberries and talk with her tongue out of her mouth. She’s getting closer to saying ‘hi’ and ‘mama.’ She had fun watching us decorate the Christmas tree last. She also hung up (with help) her first ornament from Nonna and Papa. Pictures to be posted later.

Nana and Parker arrive today for a few days of fun. We’re going up to Nevada City tonight to the Victorian Christmas festival they host. Tomorrow Reagan gets to meet Santa!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did with Grandma and Grandpa here to visit. They had so much fun with Reagan on Tuesday night. She was very energetic and happy to jump and squeal for them. Yesterday we cooked and took a lot of family pictures, trying to get that perfect one for the Christmas card. Reagan was a trooper although not her smiley self.

Can you believe it? Our little girl is getting so big! I put up pictures of her from that last two Sundays in which she was ready for church. Her hair is think and long enough to do pig tails. In fact, we need to trim it a little. She is stilling rolling around, getting in to everything that is on the floor. She’ll stay in the crawling position if you put her in it but not quite ready to crawl yet. She LOVES to talk and squeal. It’s so cute and funny! She sounds like she’s saying hi sometimes, so any day now we suspect.

Grandma Pat and Grandpa Mike are on their way up here as we speak to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with us.

Reagan’s Nana left on Friday after spending the week watching her and helping Mom out around the house. They sure had fun together! Reagan has all sorts of new clothes and toys! Pictures to come soon

While she’s still not crawling yet, Reagan gets around quite a bit by rolling around. She’s constantly reaching for things, even those that she can’t have. You have to be quick because she’ll get something in a split second. She will express her displeasure if you aren’t giving her what she wants (ie: a toy, food, not standing her up, etc.) It’s really quite comical. She’s still eating cereal only, as we’re not ready to start other solids yet. She is hit and miss on sleeping through the night. Mommy has to be disciplined to not tend to her when she fusses.

Reagan is enjoying her stay at the babysitters because she has a 2 year old friend to play with. Mommy is debating on taking her trick or treating since she’s so young. Maybe she can help hand out candy.

Last weekend Reagan and Mommny went to Windsor to hang out with Nonna and Papa. We had a great time hanging out at the ranch where Papa rode his horse. The adults went to a Halloween party while Reagan got to hang out at the neighbor’s house and play with 8 year old twins.

Reagan has been sleeping through the night just fine. Sometimes she wakes up and fusses, but for less than 5 minutes and then is back to sleep. She has also become a tummy sleeper, like her parents.

Missy Reagan is six months today!! She’s half way there to her 1st birthday. We’re feeling bittersweet about it as you can imagine. She had her 6 month well baby check up today. Reagan weighs 17 lbs 11 oz and is 26.5 inches long. She got 3 shots and 1 oral vaccine. One of the shots was a 3 vaccine combination shot. We talked to the doctor about her not sleeping through the night and he said 1/3 of babies her age aren’t doing it, so we’re not alone. He gave us some pointers and tips so we’ll be trying those out. Actually Mommy will since Daddy is leaving for a two week trip to Branson, MO for a championship. Nana is coming back out to watch Reagan in a week and a half. Mommy and Reagan are going to Nonna and Papa’s for the weekend today.
