Week of April 20th

We had an awesome week. A few landscape companies came out to give us an estimate on our lawn, we have not seen all the designs yet. I am really looking forwarded to a new nice yard. The weather was so pretty this week, so Reagan and I went for walks around the neighborhood after work each day. She loves being out side! I put her in her bounce chair in the shade while we were outside working in the yard. Yesterday we went shopping at the out door mall in Brighton. Reagan slept most of the time but woke up at lunch time. We stopped in Buffalo Wild Wings for some lunch. After a long day of shopping Reagan and I went next door for a visit while Stephen played golf. Ate dinner then relax watching TV and reading my book "Harvesting the Hearts" by Jodie Pidcoult. She is an awesome writer, this is my second book. "sister keepsake" was the first book i read of hers YOU HAVE TO READ IT!!

2month doctor visit April 17, 2009

Reagan had her 2 month doctor visit. She weighs 11lbs 13oz and 2ft tall :) The doctor said she is "perfect". She ask me "what are you feeding her", i told her "just mommy's milk." She said "i would not call that milk more like cream!" I asked her my list of questions- one being

when do i start introducing baby food. She said at 4months-6months, when she is sitting up and holding her head up. Stephen was running a few minutes late (business call) but he arrived just in time for the best part, jk.

Shots- she has 3 shots and one oral. The lip curled up and the pain appeared then came the crying. The loud scream crying with her face being beat red. I picked her right after the last one and giving her hugs/kisses to ease the pain. The crying lasted for a little while. I was trying to get her dressed and ready to go, but she was not liking it. Not to mention it was "mid afternoon snack time". So i have a hungry, sleepy, in pain crying baby. She did receive cute bunny band aid on both her legs.

They have a private room where parents can go to nurse before leaving. So we got her dressed and headed to the room to nurse. After eating she was happy and sleeping. On the way home from the doctors visit we stopped at the grocery store. She loves sitting in her seat looking around at all the lights and people. Headed home and had a nice relaxing night.

Bath Time

Reagan loves getting baths. Her first few were in the kitchen sink then....

The bathtub on the sponge then

in her bath chair. She is always playing and kicking when she is in the bath. My favorite is when she puts her arms out to the side and looks scared then i grab her fingers and she holds them tight till she relaxes. Stephen had a hard time at first becuase he was so gentle and was afaird, or fogot, to clean cetrain places. The main "under her chin". Wow, that is one area that can smell really really bad. She is so puggy and the air never really gets in those tight places. She loves getting wrapped up in the big towel. I put lots of lotion on her and she smells soooooo good.

Tummy Time

From the day we brought Reagan home Stephen was ready to play. He wanted her to play with all her toys (walk and talk). I had to keep reminding him that she was only a week old. So we started tummy time, Stephen was so excited.

Back when i was a kid we did not have fun toys like this for tummy time. She can spin around and look at all the bright colors. Also, there are a few items attached- her favorite is the mirror. This was a gift from a co-worker (thanks Laura)

This is her other favorite toy that she can use laying down or facing up. She loves to look up at the toys from above. She has not yet master "hitting" them. She does look up and smile at them when i lay her down. Thanks Savannah for the great gift!!

Madison also loves tummy time with Reagan. :)
