OMG Miss Raegan is a 1 1/2 years old?!!!

That's right, our little Miss Raegan is 18 months old! I can't freaking believe how fast time is flying, but it is so much fun seeing her grow up and become her own little self. And boy is she her own person! As with all months, Raegan has wowed us with how fast she is growing and learning. This month has been full of more words, more activity, more tantrums and more, more, more! Her personality is blooming and she is absolutely a blast to be with.

This month Raegan began enjoying a weekly event at the library called Mother Goose on the Loose where they sing songs, read stories and have lots of interaction. This is where she shines and reminds me oh so much of myself! She dances and just gets so excited and involved. It's too much! This month has also been full of more climbing and exploring for our little miss. She normally is super timid and very careful to try new things, but lately she has been charging her way up, around and over whatever is in her way. I've had to train myself to let her try things so she can be brave and have confidence. Let me tell you, it's nerve racking, but so far she has concurred her challenges and I haven't had an injury just yet!

A big step this month was taking Raegan on the family boat! Last year she was a bit too young for me to feel comfortable with and that meant that either me or Hayden had to stay behind while others enjoyed the lake festivities. I was determined to have Raegan enjoy it this year so we ALL could too!! And like with all things I stress over, Miss Raegan had no fear, went with the flow and enjoyed the experience to the fullest...and again just like her mama, she danced, danced, danced on the boat!! :) So, lucky for all of us, we can now enjoy boating trips with our little miss!

Next up in this month's adventures was a trip to Hayden's home town Los Osos/San Luis Obispo for Raegan's 1st soccer tournament!! No, she didn't play, but Hayden did! Raegan was...as usual...a trooper and stuck it out for 6 games of soccer in two days in 90 degree heat!! She had a blast cheering for Hayden and yelling "GOAL" when he scored! 

And lastly, since we now live in Sacramento and it is 400 degrees here, we tend to swim a lot in Grammie and Nonno's pool. Last year Raegan enjoyed it a little bit, but this year we know she'll be much more active...and boy has she been already!! At first she was timid, but once we made her go in she had the time of her life and never wanted to get out!! It's so fun to see her enjoy things like the boat and pool because we know we can now enjoy them more too! And to top things off, her Grammie and Nonno bought her a way too adorable chair for her to lounge by the pool in....this little one has it MADE!!

Sadly, this month ends my time at home with Miss Raegan and I'm off to the work world again. It has been beyond amazing to be able to spend such quality time with her and I will cherish every moment. This new stage in our lives will be so great for us both and we will learn and grow even more! We've picked out an amazing daycare for her and will share all the stories as the come.

Enjoy this month's photos and videos!
