2 Months

Regan Lynn is officially 2 months old. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that the time would be passing by so quickly. Here are a few things that have been happening with Regan...She has grown into a personality and it's so much fun. She's still a chill baby and always good when we're on the go. One thing has not changed for Amanda & I...we still go go go, sometimes good and sometimes bad, but it's our life and we love it. :) Regan is typically cold, crazy child, she likes her blankets. She's still be swaddled at night, but we're hoping that changes soon. She sleeps for about 5 hours and then wants to eat, and then another 3 hours during the night, not too shabby. She likes to be bounced to "almost" asleep before being put in her crib. The transition to the crib in her room was so easy, a little too easy actually ;) She's a happy baby when her diaper is changed. She's beginning to smile and it melts our heart. Her eyes are staying blue, and we love that! Rebound gives her kisses and she's still not too sure, but she doesn't cry anymore. Her swing time is starting to become better, the girls at daycare says she loves it. She has started daycare and I think Mama got more upset than Regan, ha. They say she is a superstar :) She loves the Baby Bjorn, which is great for us. Our walks at night with Rebound are fun and she just chills. I keep trying to part her hair. Her hair is getting thicker. Bath time is still her favorite time and it's fun to watch her splash around. She loves to have lotion put on her, she is her Mommy's child ;) She is so much fun and we cannot wait to see what Month 3 has to offer us :)

Much love from Regan!

So what's been going on...

Well, I wrote this entire blog the other day and then it went down and it was before I could save the blog. Basically I talked about how incredibly lucky I am. :) So here are a few pictures and I will write more later because Regan is almost 2 months old...oh my goodness, craziness!!!

This is our family Easter picture and I think it is beautiful!

This is a picture with Dr. Perret, she delivered Regan and she is awesome!!

Here are a few pictures me and Regan. I was trying to take them myself and she went from being happy to not so happy, ha.

Regan also went to her first Jazz Fest and we had a great time as a family. The weather was beautiful and Amanda got to use the Baby Bjorn for the first time and it was awesome! Regan loved it to :)

Funny story. During the few hours that we were at Jazz Fest we needed to feed Regan. So we found a hospitality tent and a table, awesome. Amanda fed her and then this random lady came up and started complaining about how people save all this space and she was not happy about that, blah blah blah. The whole time, I was like...why in the world is lady telling us what she doesn't like about Jazz Fest. Finally, this guy started talking to her and she went away. I asked Amanda, throughout laughing, why did she do that?! She then informed me that we were sitting behind a table that said "Tell us your Jazz Fest story." Oh...totally didn't know that, it was funny!

Regan had her hat on and she looked so cute :)

And this is what happens during tummy time now...sleep. Nice!

These are just a few things going on. I will write more later about what Regan has been doing in the past month :0) Cannot believe baby girl will be 2 months old soon.

Much love from Regan

6 Weeks

Well, Regan is officially 6 weeks old and the time has gone by so incredibly fast. I have never had time fly like it has lately. Amanda started Q3 last Saturday, so we are all trying to get on a routine since I will be starting back on May 16th...sad face! :( I think I am ready to go back to work, but not ready to leave Regan with people that I am not familiar with at the daycare. I guess I should just be lucky that I have been able to take as much time as I have, it will be a total of 8 weeks. This time has helped me bond with Regan and watch her grow so much. :)

As I sit here and write this blog, Regan is sitting in her bouncer seat looking so peaceful as she sleeps. She is in love with her bouncer seat. Amanda's Mom gave it to us, it was her niece's and she didn't really like it. Regan loves it so much!!! We are so thankful to have it because it seriously does chill her out.

It's a little cooler today for some reason and Regan is bundled from head to toe because she was shivering. One thing I have to say about our child is that she is always freezing. Her little bottom lip quivers and she looks at you with her precious eyes that say "please please please get me a blanket." But on that same note, she does not like her arms to be covered up...she's a crazy one!

Regan is starting to sleep at night for anywhere between 3 to 5 hours. Most of the time it's in the 4 hour range, but we're super excited about the consecutive sleep. We are also super lucky that after I feed her in the middle of the night, typically I rock her for a few minutes and then put her back down and she goes right back to sleep. She is not really a morning baby. She likes to eat and then go back to sleep. It's fun to have her awake and so alert in the afternoon though. I'm totally waiting for the for-real smile! She has smiled, but not intentionally...she is trying so hard and I just know it will happen very very soon. :)

She still doesn't know what to think about Rebound and his kisses. She's okay for a minute, but if he keeps licking her...she just doesn't know what to think. It's cute. Rebound on the other hand is still not too sure about her.

Bath time is Amanda's favorite time and I have to say that Regan actually loves it too. She totally loves being in the water and doesn't mind at all. Last night for the first time we took the newborn foam insert out to where she was literally sitting in the water and she didn't cry. I think she will be kicking around in the water really soon!

These are just the little things in Regan's life that has happened over the past few weeks. Still in amazement that we have a beautiful little girl! We are just the happiest we could possibly be!!! We are so lucky! :)

Much love from Regan!
