Hey Did you see the pictures of our little girl sitting and starting to crawl. WOW she is so smart! Well little Reagan had her 6 month check up today and once again a perfect bill of health. She is getting very tall, 26 1/2 inches to be exact. Also shes putting on weight and developmentally right where she sould be if not ahead. She did have to get more shots today which no one was happy about,she screamed to the tops of her lungs. But right after the shots were done when she was safe in mommys arms again she was back to her happy cheerful self smiling as if nothing had just happened. Such a little trooper! Her next appointment will be in October at 9 months. Which really isn't to far away. I can't wait to see what she'll be doing by then. She never stops amazing us. I'll check back later. Bye.
Hi I guess it's time for a Reagan update huh. Well she is doing so great. Already 6 months old! I can't believe how fast the time is going by. She is still changing every day becoming so alert and getting around pretty well too. Altough she isn't crawling just yet in the traditional sense anyway she is creeping and if she sees something that she wants she finds a way to get it. Time for baby gates! We got some really nice ones at a yard sale last week. She still loves going out shopping with mommy during the day and shes becoming more social with others now too. Grandmom Ferretti and Grandpa Fedorchak both took a turn watching her recently and she was a very good girl for both of them. Another skill Reagan has been perfecting is sitting up and shes getting very good at that also. Sometimes she'll do it on her own for acouple minutes but most of the time she puts one hand on the floor to keep her balance.Whatever works,right. It's so much fun to watch her. You can almost see her thought process, and it's to the point now where you can't take your eyes off of her because she wouln't stay still for very long. Like this morning I went into the kitchen for a minute and left Reagan in the living room for some tummy time(which by the way is very spacious now that I took out the cofee table so Reagan could have more rolling room). Anyway when I returned Reagan who is the queen of backwards creeping had pushed her way under the sofa. So when I came back and didn't see her I was just about to start freaking out until I saw her little face peeking out at me smiling. Wow and to think this is just the beginning soon I'll be chasing her all over the house. But I can't wait. I'm planning on getting a walker for her soon so she can get some practice. Well gotta go the family is going to a fair tonight. It has a petting zoo and lots of other fun things for Reagan to see. I'll take lots of pictures!!!! Bye.
Hi hope everyone has a great 4th of July we have some fun stuff planned. I'll take pictures. Actually we started our celebrating yesterday. We went to Grandpas house for a 4th of July party and Reagan had a great time, she was very happy to be held by everyone and offered everyone that passed by a big smile. She is just such a good girl. We brought sweet potatos for her so that while everybody else was eating she could too. She does'nt like to be left out especially when food is involved. The one thing she was'nt so happy about was the fireworks, the ones that were real high up she didn't really pay attention to but the ones that were lower and loud she did'nt like at all she started crying when she heard them. Well I'll check in soon with pictures from today. I forgot my camera yesterday.
Hi, How is everyone? We are all doing very good. I got a new car yesterday actually an SUV so I am now officially driving a mommy mobile but I just love it.You really need one of these when you have children even with just Reagan all the stuff I have to carry around didn't fit in my old car. Next time I go to the grocery store I can just simply open the back and have plenty of space instead of stack things in the back seat like a pyramid and just hoping it does'nt collapse. Well about Reagan the 51/2 month old (where did the time go?) she is surprizing us everyday with the new stuff she learns to do. She is now a pro at picking things up and she smiles constantly. But her new favorite thing to do is growl, no ma ma or da da yet but hopully soon I can't wait to hear her little voice. Also as she grows we're noticing her memory and attention span are improving, like if I move a toy she remembers where I put it and keeps looking at the spot and she actually will sit though me reading her a story now wich I just love she sits and stares up at me like she is just taking it all in. Before when I'd try to read to her the first few pages were O.K then she'd pretty much wiggle herself out of the chair.Well I'll report back soon. Bye.
Hi yesterday was alot of fun we had a very busy fathers day. Reagan got to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Lauren and go swimming in her baby pool for the very first time. She really liked the water but I think she was for the most part just trying to pick up all of her toys from the water and put them in her mouth(shes teething again). But I am glad she likes the water, now that it's getting so hot me and Reagan will probably be using the pool alot to cool off. So after Grandmom and Grandpa left yesterday Reagan was so worn out that she went right down for a nap. She slept untill we had to leave to meet Reagans other Grandpa and Aunt Holly for diner. She was a very good little girl in the restaurant too. She was smiling and being very curious she just needed to see everyone and everything especially my food, every time I would take a bite her eyes would follow the food to my mouth and then she would try to grab my plate(like in the picture). Reagan is at such a great age now shes really interacting with us alot now and shes grabing and picking up everything in site she even presses bottons on the toys that make noise because she knows whats going to happen and shes getting very close to being able to sit up on her own and crawl , she lays on the floor with her her head and shoulders all the way up and little leg kicking. It wouln't be long before we'll need to get out the baby gates.I can't wait to go to the ocean with her, we're planning to go around the end of July so Reagan will be almost 7 mounths and I think she'll enjoy the sand and the water. Well thats all for now thanks every one who made Ericks first Fathers Day so nice and thanks Grandmom for the toys you gave Reagan the other day she really likes the one with the animal sounds. Bye. Enjoy the hot weather.
Happy Fathers Day Dad and Erick and all of the other daddys. Hope that everyone has a wonderful Fathers day. Erick, Reagan is very lucky to have such a great dad!!!
Hello just wanted to say hi and that Reagan is doing very well. She got some new toys from Toys R Us today and a new swiming pool for those hot days. Shes been a very good girl lately too. Me and Erick were even able to go out for the first time Friday night and Reagan slept the whole time for her Great Grandmom. We're also looking forward to fathers day, there's a farm near our house that is having a fathers day picnic with a train ride and petting zoo that I think Reagan is just getting old enough to enjoy. She just loves to look around at new things. I wonder whats going through her little mind sometimes.I'll check back soon.Bye.
Hi I know it hasn't been to long since the last update but Reagan is changing so much everyday. And has been up to so many new and exciting things. First of all shes getting so smart, shes grabbing on to everything in her site and she knows her name when you call her. Shes also been eating either baby cereal or baby food once everyday. Shes had sweet potatos, squash and pears. She just loves them. I tried to give her some apple juice today and she didn't like it at all. I think it might of just been because she's used formula coming out of her bottle. Shes been taking good naps latly too, about three hours. Shes such a smiley little girl too all you have to do is give her a big smile and she lights up and she even has a dimple just like her daddy. I think this weekend we might get her a baby pool since it's been so hot out. She loves her bathes so I think she'll enjoy it. I'll update soon and add plenty of new adorable pictures.
Hi hope everyone had a good memorial day. We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Ferretti's house and Reagan was a very good little girl. I hope I don't jinks myself by saying this but she is really getting to be great to take out and she really seems to enjoy different places and most of the time different people. Ok I'll check in later. How cute is Reagans new sun dress. Mommy is going just alittle overboard on the summer dresses but they're just so darn cute.Bye.
Hello I thought it was time to let everyone know what Reagan has been up to, well she is adorable as uasual and she is getting so big and so smart. She's really grabing onto things well, my hair being her favorite thing to cling to and last night I was changing her diaper and she grabed the tab of the diaper so hard I could'nt even get it from her(shes stronger then her poor mom already) Shes sleeping almost completly though the night now still waking every now and then when she flips herself over. When she wakes in the morning now she just lays in her crib and coos and babbles she doesn't cry like she used to. The whole cereal thing is going ok but I don't think she likes the taste very much I think it will help to mix in some applesauce or bananas. We have a pretty good everyday routine down now like first before Reagan wakes up mommy watches her TLC shows a baby story, bringing home baby and a new show called surviving motherhood while running around and doing things around the house then when Reagan gets up she eats and we go out and run acouple errands then we'll come home and she'll eat again and play for awhile or we'll read a story then it's nap time and shes taking a two to three hour nap now. It's great to somewhat know whats going to happen day to day. Well I got to go get ready to go out it's going to be a nice out today. Enjoy! I'll update the pictures soon.Bye.Oh and for anyone who was watching American Idol, Yay Tyler!!! hes my favorite.
We gave Reagan some cereal as you can see from the pictures and she really quit enjoyed it. She kept thrying to take to spoon from me and do it herself and she did probably spill more then half of it but what she did get she seemed to like. The fact that she knew how to bite and swallow it is th eimportant thing because that means she is ready to eat solid foods. So I'll probably try to give her alittle everyday and increase it little by little the more she starts taking. Oh yah but next time I think I'll give it after shes had alittle bit of her bottle first because I think the main thing she was thinking was" O.k what are you doing now, I just want my bottle"! Thats why in the picture with her bottle she looks like she could be saying" finally". But all in all it went pretty well. Another step towards growing up. She is just getting tooo big. Well I'll check in later. Bye.
Well Reagan went to the doctors this morning for her four month check up and 4 more shots which understandibly she was not to happy about. She started screaming to the tops of her lungs before the shots even came. The doctor was just examining her, but I guess she could'nt see mommy and did'nt like that because after I came over and started talking to her she calmed down that is untill the shots came then the screaming started again with tears and all. When there are tears she means business. But anyway as far as Reagans development she is right on track with were she should be she weighed in at almost 15 pounds and is still on the long side at 25 inches. I did ask the doctor about feeding her solids and she said that is perfectly fine and Reagan is definitly ready since she can hold her head up so well. The doctor gave me a paper on how much to give and how many times a day to give it, you know me Mrs. By the books. So when we got home I fed Reagan, gave her some tylenol and put her down for a nap which she willingly excepted. I t's been a long morning. I hope shes feeling better when she gets up I hate to see her unhappy. If shes up for it later we might give her alittle cereal, I can't wait to see her face after that first bite.Well it's time for me to go get some stuff done while Reagan is asleep. Bye.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYONE!!!!! I'm so happy to be celebrating my first mothers day today with my beautiful little girl. Reagan (with some help from daddy) got me a willow tree statue of a mother and baby (I collect them ). We are going to visit with both of the grandmoms today and we're going out to dinner. I'm so glad that I'm a mommy this year last mothers day was a pretty important day too because that was the day I found out I was pregnant with Reagan Well I'll check in soon I just wanted to wish all the other mommys out there a very happy day!
I have some good news, Reagan has slept in her crib for the past 4 nights and for naps without a problem and mommy is starting to be O.K. too, even though my little baby isn't sleepiung right next to me I know shes just down the hall in her big cozy crib. She is such a little wiggler, she always ends up on the other side of the crib or sideways and last night she started crying so I went to go give her the pacifire and I looked all over for it and finally I found it inside of her pajamas, don't ask me how that happened. She is just full of surprizes it seems like everyday she learns something new and develops more of her own little personality she's really starting to play with toys now too and shes really been enjoying her exersauser. We go to the doctors Tuesday for her 4 mounth check up and I bought her some rice cereal yesterday stay tuned for how that goes. Bye.
Hi it's mommy just thought it was time for a Reagan update, she's doing very well getting very good at holding things and following peoples voices and as always shes very smiley and shes been laughing alot too. But unfortunatly she is still teething and it's been really hard on her she always has her hands in her mouth and shes been fussy and very sleepy. I hope those teeth start coming in soon. Since she has been sleeping more I've been trying to take advantage of the free time by doing some spring cleaning and I've been doing some minor redecorating also. It's been coming along very well. My flowers are doing good this year too. Last year around this time I was pregnant and not feeling very good so my poor flowers got watered maybe once a week. Well I'm going to go now me and Reagan are going to go out for a walk today since it's so nice. Enjoy this nice day! Bye.
Well I did it, last night I put Reagan in her crib and it was posibly the worst night of sleep both of us has had in a long time. I put her in there at about 10:00, she was really tired so I figured she'd go right to sleep. Wrong, after squirming around for awhile( we have a camera in her room so we can watch her) she finally fell asleep. Until about 1:30, she started fussing so I went in and gave her the pacifire, that usually puts her right back to sleep, but this time after I gave it to her she must have heard the door creek when I was leaving and starting screaming to tops of her lungs. She was none stop no matter what I did but finally she calmed down with a bottle, so I moved her back into her bassinet but she was having trouble in there too, about every hour if not more she'd flip over onto her back and at that point start screaming so I'd put her back on her tummy and give her the pacifire and put my hand on her back but as soon as I'd move my hand back she went. Well you get the idea thats how the whole night went. Luckily Daddy didn't hear a thing I don't know how, and for some reason I'm alert and awake today I guess I've learned how to operate with less sleep. But I am very glad I decided not to go to Mexico if acouple of hours without Reagan in the room was hard four days wasn't going to happen. I'd be trying to find a plane home after I arrived. Everyone like the picture displays on the page? We thought they were pretty neat. Bye.
P.S. - Don't ask me why I have a cat there. I just saw that pictures can be added to the storys and none of them seem to be relivent to my story so I picked a cat.
Hi just wanted to fill everyone in on whats been going on with baby Reagan, she's doing well and getting bigger by the second , she still doesn't have any teeth yet but I'm willing to bet they'll be in before she turns 4 months. She's also gotten very good at taking naps. When shes tired I 'll put her in her basinet awake and she'll usually lay there untill she falls asleep sometimes she needs me to hum or to pat her on the back to get her down but at least she takes them now, 20 minutes of sleep used to be her idea of a nap. She took a 3 hour one the other day I had so much time I didn't know what to do with myself, I don't know what I used to do all day before she came along. I keep thinking that I'm going to put Reagan in her crib at night instead of that tiny bassinet but when night time comes around I can't bring myself to do it. One of these days. I'll check back later, Bye.
Hi, I hope everyone enjoyed Reagans Easter pictures, she was such a good girl. We've been having alot of fun the past couple of days going outside, it's been so nice out. And Reagan was mommys little garden helper the other day. We went to Home Depot and picked out some bushes and flowers for the back yard and while I planted them Reagan sat in her swing and watched and we would go back and forth with her cooing and then I'd say something and she'd coo right back, shes loving the fact that she knows she has a voice now. When she got tired of her swing I put her in her baby snuggly and carried her around with me while I finished planting. She loves her snuggly it's her new favorite place to be. So I pretty much decided I'm not going to go to Mexico with everyone from work it would be fun but I just can't leave my baby for four days that would be way to hard plus the family is going to the beach this summer and by then Reagan will be about 6 or 7 months so that will be alot of fun. I'll check back soon. Bye.
Well tommorrow is our little babys first Easter and I am so glad that she is here with us, she is going to make every holiday so special and memorable. I also can't wait to see her in her pretty easter outfit I hope she is in a good mood tommorrow for everyone. She is still teething and had been alittle more fussy then usual lately but is starting to act more like her lovable self altough I can't say that I blame her for not being in a good mood I don't think I'd like something sharp poking at my gums.Well anyway we are going to have Easter here at our house, so that will be nice for Reagan to have all of her things close by. I got her an easter basket filled with a stuffed bunny, pacifires and little stuffed bugs that hang off of her car seat I think she'll really like them she is really starting to interact with toys now she grabs for them and can even hold on if you put it in her hand. Oh and speaking of things Reagan can do now she laughed for the first time yesterday, I real Little laugh, it was so cute! Ok I think I might be going on now, I could write a book. I'm going to get to bed now but I will be sure to take lots and lots of pictures tommorrow and post them tommorrow as well. Bye. HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!
Hi again I took Reagan to the doctors today and everything is fine, the doctor did said she saw some teeth starting to come up so that is the reason Reagans been moody. Thats what I figured but it doesn't hurt to be sure. We've been doing some work to the website so if you see some weird stuff on here it is still under construction. We took Reagan to my dads house yesterday and she was such a good girl she only cryed one time when she was hungry and she sat on everyones laps and was smiling. she is such a little smiler now. I went to a nearby consignment shop today since it was so nice out I had Reagan in her little snuggly and everyone wanted to see her and talk to her and she was loving it smiling and cooing she just knows shes adorable.Well anyway the consignment shop had some pretty cute stuff I got her acouple of dresses that are 6-9 months (yes she is already growing out of her 3-6 stuff) and I also finally got her a baby book I need to keep track of all the new stuff Reagan is doing and at the rate I'm going my scrapbook wouln't get started until she's in school. Well I'll write back soon . Bye.
