Reagan @ 8,9,10 Months

I am very behind in blogging about Reagan, so I am going to try and catch up in one post.

Reagan at 8 months:

Reagan has figured out how to pull herself up to furniture and walk along it a little bit. She also is a major crawler and goes all through the house. She will sit in her high chair at the table a little bit and eat. She likes avocados the best and eats them fairly well, but everything else she isn't very excited about.

Reagan at 9 months:

She loves to be apart of whatever is going on. If she thinks she is getting left out she makes a big fuss. I have tried giving her a sippy cup a few times, but she just thinks it is a funny toy. She loves to explore and crawl around seeing the world. but if she gets to far from Mom she freaks out. She loves to walk along furniture and can stand by herself.

Reagan at ten months:

(with her cousin Aurora)

She is thinking about walking. She will stand, take one step and then fall forward for you to catch her. She loves to get into everything. She pulls the books off the bookselves, open drawers, and loves to eat papers she can find.

She gets so excited when she sees Dad and she gets so mad if she thinks he is ignoring her. When he walks away from her so will crawl as fast as she can to try and catchup with him.

She still wakes up about every two hours to nurse at night. She hates her car seat and pretty much cries when put into it. She has learned to wave bye-bye. She doesn't like strangers and will cry when someone new looks or talks to her.  She also just got her top two teeth and now has four.

Reagan @ 3 Months

Reagan's personality is coming out more and more each day. She is such a content baby. She hardly ever fusses unless she is hunger or tired. She loves to be talked to. When you talk to her, she will smile and laugh.
Reagan loves her to play with her dad. He can always get a big smile and lots of laughs out of her. She loves to be balanced on his hand. Isaiah also likes to give her little tastes of food, which she loves.

All the kids love Reagan. If I put her down someone comes right behind me and starts playing and talking to her. Amita has especially turned into my little helper with Reagan. She helps a lot with Reagan, and Reagan really lights up when Amita is around.

It is so fun to see Reagan growing and changing and yet I want her to stay little too.

Reagan @ 2 Months

Reagan is growing so fast. At her 6 week appointment she weighted 11 lbs. 6 oz (a gain of 4lbs.) and was 22 3/ 4 inches long (a growth of 3").

She loves to be talked to and played with. She smiles a lot and tries to talk to you. Some of here favorite things is when Isaiah flies her around the room or when he balances her on his hand. She also loves to have her bath, and her two sisters love to help bath her.

Reagan has been such a happy baby. She will sit in her little bouncy chair and be content for quite away. She rides in her car seat without crying. And she has been an awesome sleeper; pretty much sleeping 6 hours straight since she was a few weeks old. I have never had a baby be so easy going. It is amazing and I am really enjoying it. I think one reason she is so content is because I am off of gluten.

All the kids love her. Amita loves to be her little mommy. One day, Reagan was in her bouncy seat and Amita was sitting next to her talking to her. I was getting a few things done around the house while Reagan was happy. Then I sat down and was watching Amita be so cute with Reagan. Finally, Amita turned to me and said, "Do think you can handle her, so I can go play." I laughed and told her, "Yes, I can handle her."

Reagan was so cute for halloween. Jeannie was so nice and got this little cow custom for her. We ended up going to the trunk-or-treat at the lds church. Everyone thought she was the cutest cow ever.

Reagan @ 1 month

It is amazing how fast time flies with a baby. I can't hardly believe Reagan is a month old already. She has gotten so big. At 10 days she had already gained a pound and at her three week appointment she weighted 9 lbs. 6 oz.


She loves to laugh and smile for her dad.

She has been a pretty good sleeper. I have only had two bad nights with her. She also hasn't been very colicky. My other babies were very fussy the first three months, so this has been a nice change. I think it might be from me going gluten free. She does spit up a lot though.

She likes to be held a lot but will give me little breaks where is will be happy sitting in her boppy pillow. If she starts fussing Amita and Melody race to take care of her. They love to pat her on the back and give her her plug.

Reagan loves to take baths. I always have a little helper to help give her baths.

All the kids have really taken to Reagan. Even the boys will come and love on her. The girls definitely have little mommy instincts.

Reagan Leah Andra

Reagan Leah was born August 28 at 3:35am. She weighted 7lbs. 6oz. and was 20 inches long.
I had another home birth with her. It ended up my midwife had another lady in labor at the same time and had to make the hard decision of who to stay with. She ended up staying with me. I was hoping for another water birth, but Reagan had other plans and ended up being born on my bed. I was in labor for 8.5 hours; 4 of which were getting from 9cm to 10. It was a very hard labor, but everything went great.

The kids love her to death. The girls want to hold her all the time and are fascinated with all she does. We have decided she could be Amita's twin. Their baby pictures look identical.
