Happy Birthday!!!


It's official, little Miss Raegan is a year old! I can't freaking believe it. I look back and remember how scared I was for her arrival and how I had no idea how to deal with this little being and now she's a little person with a BIG personality! It's amazing how fast time flies and how much she has learned and grown. Raegan is definitely a precious one and has blessed us by being such a good baby. As scared as I was, I am so lucky to have gotten an easy one!!

This month - just as all the others - has been full of adventures for our little one. She has gotten much more active, which has made those chubby lil cheeks thin out a bit. I was hoping my chubby lil thighs would follow, but I'm still waiting. She has also tried out a few more words, but nothing that has made any sense except "dada," "uh-oh" and "yes". "Mama" or "Mommy" are not on her agenda for right now. Miss Raegan has also learned how to give hugs which is absolutely the most adorable thing in the freaking world!
The coolest part about watching her learn is knowing that she understands things now. When I say something or ask a question, she really knows what is going on. It's amazing to watch and so fun to actually be able to interact more and more.

Raegan also got to experience the zoo for the first time. Since we always call her Monkey, we thought it was fitting to make her pose with her kind!! :) Luckily I have never visited the San Diego Zoo and had nothing to compare it to because apparently the SAC zoo is not too vast. But, for an 11 month old with a 15 minute attention span, it was perfect! Someday we'll take her to the "World Famous" San Diego Zoo!!

Again, I can't believe a year has gone by, but what a wonderful one it has been. I could never understand it when my friends talked about how fast it goes or how much love you can have for your child, but now (of course) I completely get it and can't get enough of her! I love this little person so much and I am like a little kid on Christmas Eve every night, anxious for what she will do the next day.
Happy Birthday Little Miss Raegan - we love you so very much!!
