Kicking it with some friends!

 
My most favorite time of the day is the morning, has been since Reagan was born. I love to wake up slowly, lounge in bed and snuggle my babes.
 
This morning wasn't anything out of the ordinary until this happened. It was too cute not to capture, so I grabbed the camera and snapped some pics.
 
Reagan decided that Carter needed to have some snuggles with her favorite stuffed friends. She carefully stacked each one, then topped it off with a random solo sock that was laying near by.

 
It was the perfect way to start our Friday.

One month

 
My Sweet baby Carter,
 
Wow, what a fast month this has been. A pretty uneventful one (in the best way possible), you are a rock star sleeper, eater and snuggler. You seem to be growing bigger everyday, your 3 month jammies are already getting a little short in the arms and legs. You like to eat every two hours during the day, but are only getting up two (sometimes one!!) time at night to eat. You are what the doc calls a spitty baby, you spit up A LOT and burp A LOT. But you are gaining weight well so there is no cause for concern, hopefully you grow out of it soon.
 
I'm pretty sure your Sister thinks you are the best thing since sliced bread, and she likes her some bread. I am so happy that you girls will have each other as you grow up. I hope that you can find a true friend in your Sister and that you always know that you can turn to her in times of happiness and heartache.
 
Your Daddy and I have been trying to decide whether your eyes will turn from blue, they almost seem to be getting lighter. Your hair is a very reddish brown, you are certain to be a beauty for sure.
 
I am so excited for what your future holds, and I can't wait to see the little lady you become.
 
Everyday I look at you and think to myself how lucky I am to get to be your Mother.
 
I love you sweet girl.
 
Forever and Always.
 
XOXO
Momma

20 Months

Twenty Months
 
 


Stats: 32 inches & 23 lbs

Clothes: 12 and 18 month

Favorite food: bread is still top of the list. Loving milk especially when I mix in chocolate breakfast powder. Yogurt and olives, not together usually. And pancakes.

Favorite words: that, mess, baby, clean up, all done, where'd go.


Favorite activities: drawing, hugging and holding Carter, going for drives, taking off her clothes, bath time.
 
Least favorite activities: waking up from naps, Reagan hates life for about 20-45 minutes after taking a nap. 

Signature moves: I officially name this month, the month of the naked Reagan. Reag has been anti clothes and diaper, when she decides she has had enough of wearing clothes she starts pulling at them hulk-a-mania style and grunting until I give in and take them off her. Once summer rolls around it will be a clothes optional kind of place.

Mom's proudest moment: I have been so blown away with how well Reagan has adjusted to carter. I knew she would do good, but I really didn't expect her to do so stellar.


Dad's proudest moment: a few weeks ago I was hanging shelves in the bathroom, Reagan watched intently as I used the handy dandy stud finder. As soon as I put it down she grabbed it and ran out, never to be seen again. Well one night all of us were watching tv, something educational I'm sure, and Reagan pulled the stud finder out of her toy bin and started gliding it around the wall, Cody was so blown away that she knew what to do with it. After taking numerous pics he turned to me and said, "put this down as my proudest moment". Done.

Other milestones: 

We have had a pretty low key month, lazing around the house while snow flurries blow about outside and babies poop themselves inside. Reagan, you have grown and developed so much this month. It's so much fun taking you to run errands, you are such a little lady and it is so fun to watch you interact with your surroundings and everyone in it. You manage to always find someone to flirt with when we go out to eat, you have a soft spot for elderly men. You say hi and bye to evvveryone in grocery isles, and are the best back-up singer around as we cruise town belting out Kacey Musgraves and Pistol Annies. 

And finally, can I remark about how freaking fast this year is going?! Dislike. I cant believe that in four short months you will be celebrating your second birthday. It is so bittersweet, I love watching you grow up but hate that time is flying by so fast. I really want to make a better effort to document the little things that make up our day, the things that amaze me and make me laugh. I want to remember these days forever. For evvvv eeerrrr.

Just pictures today

I've got a mountain of dishes in the sink and piles on piles of laundry to fold and put away, so instead of thinking up a witty blog post I will leave you with some pictures from around the casa.
 
At least I know my husband will appreciate it.
 
Happy Monday!

Two weeks

We've had a great two weeks! 

I've learned that Carter likes to poop in freshly changed diapers.

Reagan loves to hold Carter, until she does the aforementioned act.

Carter is a great sleeper. She does however randomly demand we leave the night light on for her. 

Reagan has kicked up her level of diva by insisting we paint her nails every other day.

Carter is quite a little piglet, turns out 10lb babies eat a lot.

Reagan's new hobby is taking her clothes and diaper off.

And some pictures to end on:

Sister Sister

Us girls have had an amazing week getting to know each other!
 
 
Reagan Grace is already in the running for the Best Big Sister award.

 
She loves to stand on her little wooden stool and watch "bebe" while she naps in her crib.

 
Reagan even said "sista" for the first time.

 
Reagan sings to Carter, Rocks her in her swing and supervises while I change her diapers.
 
 
 
As soon as Reagan wakes up she wants to know where bebe is. It was cute the first time she did it, a week later it still melts my heart.
