LOVE

Since I started this blog I have been trying to take more pictures. I realized that since I take all the pictures, I don't have hardly any of Reagan and I. Jason took a few tonight but after being at school all day long with a bunch of wild kids, I was quite a sight. I was embarrassed to post those pictures.  What I DO have is one of the cutest pictures in the world of Reagan. I took this picture this weekend. We spent a long time standing at the sliding glass door. She has a big basket of toys but has no interest in them. All she wants to do is pull up on the basket, walk along the coffee table and stand at the door. I often wonder if she is hyperactive because she doesn't stop moving!! I know, that's crazy! Here's one of the pictures from this weekend! So cute! I can't believe that she is getting so big!

Helping Mommy!

Reagan has discovered a new favorite thing...riding in the cart at Kroger and Target. You all know that Target is my favorite place in the world so this works out perfectly. I better not say too much but she loves being in there. She is so quiet and content to just ride along in the cart. I guess I should take advantage of it now because by next week she might hate it! We have already made two trips to Target this weekend! On Friday, I picked her up for Kate's and we went straight to the grocery store to do some shopping. Once we got home, she entertained herself by crashing into all of the grocery bags while I unloaded everything.

Night Night

My favorite part of the day is when I get to leave school and go pick up Reagan. Today when I arrived at Kate's, she gave me the biggest smile. It is the best feeling in the world. It is really what gets me through each work day. Once we get home we have the rest of the afternoon to play together. Today we took Molly for a walk and then did a little swinging in the front yard. Below are some pictures that Jason took tonight after Reagan got out of the bathtub. We have to put her in the crib to get her pjs on because she is like a wild animal when you try to get her dressed. She has started to jump up and down while she holds on to the side of the crib and she's NAKED. I love it!!

love it!!!

Snow Day!

It finally snowed last night! I have been waiting all winter for just one snow day and we finally got it! Although almost all of the snow is melted now it was so pretty last night and this morning. We really didn't go out in the snow but played inside and looked out the window at it. Reagan did wear her snowman pajamas last night and her snowman shirt this morning. It was so fun to just spend the day with Reagan. She did spend a few hours with her Mamaw while I went to visit sweet baby Magdalena, my friend Nat's tiny, tiny baby girl. So cute! Just a few months ago, Reagan was that tiny! All snow days must come to an end and that makes me sad. But here are a few pictures from today.

She was going crazy over this red heart balloon that one of my sweet students gave to me on Valentine's Day. I tried to throw it away but she cried. I'm not sure if it is safe for an 8 month old to play with balloons but she was just having too much fun! She kept yanking the string and screaming when the balloon came down. She is one crazy little baby! 

Reagan is 8 months old, well almost.

Little Reagan Grace will be 8 months old tomorrow. She is such a big girl now. She can crawl really fast and pulls up on everything. She can walk all around the coffee table holding on to it with both hands. She loves music and bends her little knees like she is dancing. I hope she doesn't get her dancing skills from me. It seems like we waited forever for her to come into our lives and now time is flying by. Sometimes I just want to freeze time and keep her just the way she is. However, I love seeing her do new things each day. It's so fun to watch. 

Jason put up Reagan's swing in the front yard. We tested it out yesterday when it was still warm outside. It was very sunny and the sun was right in her eyes but she loved it!

Forgot about this one!

I know this is kinda hard to see but this is Reagan in my grandmother's christening gown. It is over 100 years old. We could only get one really good picture of her in it. She was five months old in the picture and was starting to chew on everything. She had the entire collar of the dress in her mouth at one point. It was so special for me to see her in this dress because I was so close to my grandma Zohab. She passed away when I was 11 years old but I still think about her all the time. She would have thought Reagan was really something else! I know she is smiling down on her all the time. Sweet, sweet Reagie, our little miracle.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sweet little Reagan!
