3 Months Already

Man...Regan is 3 months already. She is doing so great. I look at her pictures from when she was born and I think to myself...wow, I cannot believe how much she has changed and it's only been 3 short months. I have no clue what is in store for us, but change is inevitable.

Regan loves to eat. She loves to sleep through the night, which her mommies are happy about. Daycare doesn't seem to bother her and they tell us that she has a good time. The morning is her favorite still, and I'm glad Amanda got to be here the other morning to see just how happy she truly is. Rebound gives her kisses and she smiles now at him. She doesn't like to be cradled anymore...she is definitely one that likes to look around. She is interested in everything. We went out to eat last night and she took forever to take her bottle because she couldn't stop watching things long enough to pay attention to her bottle, ha. She loves water. We took her swimming last weekend and she had such a good time. She laughed at Harper because she kept jumping in the pool. The other morning the wind blew the blanket off her carrier and the rain got in her face and she was grinning from ear to ear, such a funny moment. Bath time is still her favorite, she can stay in there over 30 minutes if we let her. She's not too much of a fan of her carseat and heaven forbid you have to stop at red light...she's not a fan of those either. She loves her paci, but loves her hands more. We still swaddle her at night because she sleeps through the night like that, but we're thinking that we need to transition to not doing that soon, maybe tonight. She is in love with being outside, the bugs don't seem to bother her. The playmat is becoming her friend with the songs it sings. She's sometimes ok with her bumbo seat, sometimes not so much. The child does not like to take long naps, it's more like cat naps throughout the day, she doesn't want to miss anything.

We are just amazed at every little thing she does. It's so much fun seeing things through her eyes. Being her Mom is the most special thing :) We are so blessed that we have a daughter that is so good, most of the time! Regan is doing just great and we are so thankful to have her in our lives!

Much love from Regan :)

12 Weeks Today

Well, she's not 3 months in terms of the months, but she is officially 12 weeks old today. I cannot believe it!!! :) Regan is growing each and every day, that it's crazy. She's starting noticing her feet and the fact that she moves them, which is funny. She's drooling more...guessing the teething stage is coming faster than we realized. She loves to pull hair, necklaces, etc...except she doesn't grip toys all that well yet. She's a happy baby in the morning, she's a happy baby in the bathtub, she is a happy baby when you go outside...she's not a happy baby when you stop at red lights sometimes, she's not a happy baby when you take her out of the bath, and she's not a happy baby when we make her do tummy time. She's sweet and cuddles, but only when she wants to. She loves to look at Rebound and loves to be up on your shoulder to look around. Her personality is definitely shining through.

A little bit after her 2 month "birthday" we took her to the doctor and she weighed in at 9 lbs 3 ozs, but we know she's gotten much bigger since then. She's much longer and she's definitely in 0-3 month clothes. Amanda and I both had to work one weekend, so Lauren kept her and Jenn came over to play...they said she was good, so here's hoping to her being a good girl. I was off for Memorial Day, so me and Regan hung out all day long. :) My Mom flew in for a weekend so that she could spend so time with Regan because she just couldn't stand seeing pictures and how much she had changed. Amanda and I had Med-Peds Graduation to go to, so one of our church friends, Maryann Chrestman, kept Regan. We are so blessed to have so many people in our lives to watch little Regan and be excited to do so. Tristan came this weekend, Russell wasn't able to get off of work :( We did however have a good time just talking, playing with Regan and laughing. It's always good to get a good dose of North Carolina :) We have many trips planned for this summer as we travel around the Southeast it seems to visit family and let Regan meet her extended family.

The time is definitely flying by. Regan is getting so big already and it seems like we will be planning her 1st birthday before we know it!

Love from Regan
