14 Months and Full of Energy!


So this month has flown by...so fast in fact that when I met another mom the other day I said little Miss Raegan was almost 15 months!! I've apparently lost track of time and am aging her already. Luckily our little one is not yet 15 months and is a measly 14 months today. I don't think I'm cut out to keep track of the months any longer, so updates may not be official after this! :)

This month is full of more and more activity. Our little Miss is running around like a mad woman, eating everything is sight ALL DAY LONG, and chattering like a maniac. She doesn't stop and is so much fun right now. I think with the rainy weather lately she's feeling a little bored of her toys and the house, but Hayden took her out the other day and apparently she LOVES the mud! I was out of town and missed all the excitement, but heard she was a mess. I'm sure she had a blast!


Miss Raegan is becoming more and more fun and surprises us everyday with new things she has learned. She is super observant and picks things up really fast - it's so amazing to watch! She is also starting to play by herself a lot more and it's interesting to watch how she interacts with her toys and dolls. :)

I have protested the idea of cutting Raegan's hair, much to my mother's dismay, but I'm convinced she doesn't need it and her "shaggy" look is totally stylish! It doesn't seem to bother her too much and she's finally wearing bows to keep it out of her eyes. We'll see how long she lasts with this no hair cutting protest of mine, but so far so good!

Stay tuned for more updates and enjoy this month's photos and a few videos!

Catching Up - 13 Months and then Some!


So, time sure has flown by...so fast that I forgot to update Miss Raegan's blog!! Apparently, I stopped the updates once she turned 1! Oops! A lot has happened in a month and a half and we've been pretty busy. As for Miss Raegan, this was another month full of activity and adventures. She popped out a few more teeth and is starting to really work at talking now to! She can finally say "mama" but it seems to be only when she is whining and yelling that it comes out the clearest. Weird that "dada" is used sweetly and gently. She must be confused!! HAHA! She also said "cheese" which of course is my least favorite food, but she LOVES it, so it's only fitting that she was able to say it. We're eager to hear her vocabulary grow.

Raegan also had her first official Christmas where she was able to enjoy a lot more than last year. And boy did she!! She helped pick out our Christmas tree and had fun running around the tree farm...I think the men liked her so much they gave us a super great deal on the tree!! Raegan also loved, loved, loved all of the decorations!! Not just those around the house, but the lights outside and all of the Reindeer. She loves animals and was always so excited to see them outside. I also did my very best to prep her for her first Santa visit by showing her lots of pictures of him and saying his name a lot. As you can see from her photo, she wasn't too happy to sit on Santa's lap, but after her visit, she was OBSESSED with Santa! Whenever she saw him or there was a picture of him or anything she would get so excited! We also learned that Miss Raegan is a huge fan of Christmas movies. We've never seen her sit so still than when a Christmas movie would come on...and it didn't matter which one it was! It was adorable.
This year, Hayden and I traveled to Los Osos for the holidays and Raegan had so much fun seeing her family and playing with her cousins Nolan and Austen. Christmas morning was a blast being around little kids and all the excitement! We trekked back up North late Christmas night for round 2 of Christmas morning with my family and Miss Raegan had yet another great day full of family and gifts! I'd say she had a great holiday.

Little Miss Raegan had yet another fun-filled month and continues to entertain us every day! Enjoy this month's photos!
