Well, we did it - we left sunny San Diego and moved up north to Sacramento to start a new life for our little family. Raegan was unsure at first, but has now gotten back into her routine and is adjusting great. She's made a new friend with Kelsey the dog and loves to watch her run and play. Kelsey on the other hand is still trying to understand that she has to share some attention!!
We've gotten off to a good start with the new business as well. Hayden started this week and has already completed one demo wheel for a new account that has some great potential. Our fingers are crossed it turns into a solid account. The phone has also been ringing with interest from potential customers.
So, things are looking good and we're enjoying it here. I've already joined a women's soccer team and Hayden is scoping out the men's leagues to find a team. Soon enough we'll be enjoying the hot summer days here and getting out on the boat!!
We'll keep you updated on our new adventure in Northern California and how little Miss Raegan grows up in this new town!
Every month I write this update I can't believe Raegan is another month older! She's growing up so fast already! I want to hit the pause button an enjoy this as long as possible...guess that is why women have more than one kid!!!
This month has been full of adventures for little Miss Raegan. She's concurred the solid food thing and loves her oatmeal, carrots and sweet potatoes - not the peas so much, but I can't blame her because that was the veggie I hated the most as a kid. We'll be introducing more tasty food here soon. And as cruel parents often do, we let her taste a lemon and enjoyed the sour face!! But she loved it and dived in for more!! haha.
Raegan is also much more active now rolling over mostly from her belly to her back because she LOVES to be on her back and play, but she has rolled from her back a few times. She likes to go halfway and just chill. I'm fine with not so much belly time because that will keep the crawling at bay a little longer! :) She is also sitting up much better and reaching and grabbing for toys...and remote controls. Not sure why the remote is so enticing, but she will dive for it every time!
Raegan also went on her very first airplane this month and was of course a little angel! She was highly entertained by daddy, Uncle Frankie and the other passengers to even notice where she was. It was great since we'll be flying on our own next weekend!
She had a very busy month with both the Kelly family and the Miano family and is now fully spoiled and will not let me leave her by herself without whining! But she did great with all the new family she met. She also met her new best friend Kelsey and would giggle every time she licked her face and feet! Good thing she isn't afraid of her since we'll be living with her in a week's time!
It's been an eventful month and will end with our move to Sacramento. Luckily Raegan is too young to know we're taking her away from the beautiful beach, but I'm sure she'll have words for us when she's older and knows she lived just a block away from it! We're excited for our adventure and to start a new life for ourselves up north.
Enjoy this month's photos and videos and watching little Miss Raegan's cheeks take over her face!
Well my first mother's day was absolutely perfect! It felt really odd to be celebrated today since it was my first, but I of course took to it well! Hayden was wonderful and gave me a full day of relaxation as a gift - a massage, foot scrub and a facial! Now, I just have to find the time to go get all of that done before our move! We spent our morning watching soccer, sipping mimosas and playing with Raegan in bed. It was the best start to our day! Then off to Orange County to see the family and celebrate Grandpa Kelly's 80th birthday and mother's day! It was great to spend the day with family and Raegan had a blast! Being a new mom, I have realized just how wonderful my own mother is and how much work she really did to make me who I am. I hope I can be all my mom is to me to Miss Raegan!
This week has been very busy for little Miss Raegan. She's now rolling over...finally! I was getting worried she was a lazy bum, but I will now eat my words. She's rolling over from her back to her stomach now and we'll now have to watch her 24-7! Check out her new skill!
It's official, Miss Raegan is a big girl and eating - and actually enjoying - solid foods! It took just a week of persistence, but she's now a fan of oatmeal and rice cereal. And boy are these foods tasty! Ha! The most bland things I've ever tasted, but she's a fan and it's a fun new activity for us. Check out how she dives at the spoon now!
Well Raegan's first Easter wasn't all that eventful since she's only 5 months, but she still rocked an Easter dress and had a blast with her bunnies!! She also got to see her cousin Nolan and watch him play with his Easter eggs :)
Little Miss Raegan is now 5 months old and it's so hard to believe! She is definitely growing fast and developing her own adorable personality. She is a very happy baby full of smiles and laughter, but definitely stubborn like her parents - she knows what she wants and when she wants it and if you don't listen, watch out! We've quickly caved and just give her what she wants! This will bite us in the future, but we can't bare to hear that cry!
This month has been full of activity and excitement for Miss Raegan. She has begun sitting up on her own and is finally interested and entertained by toys, which helps mom out a lot and gives me at least 10 minutes to get things done. We tried solid foods, but true to her developing persona, Princess Raegan was just not having it. Apparently she will let me know when she is ready! Raegan has also outgrown her swaddle blanket at night, which was nerve racking for us because she slept so well at night with it. But she has done okay without it and is still sleeping through the night.
And lastly, our little one is working on her first teeth. They aren't yet visible, but we can feel the little bumps on her gums and she's a tad more fussy than normal. I hope they come in soon and don't drag on like this for long. But she's taking it like a champ and will soon be flashing those pearly whites in her photos!
Enjoy this month's photos and videos. We'll keep you updated on new adventures in Raegan land throughout the next month!
We've gotten off to a good start with the new business as well. Hayden started this week and has already completed one demo wheel for a new account that has some great potential. Our fingers are crossed it turns into a solid account. The phone has also been ringing with interest from potential customers.
