Well someone told me that once Raegan turns 3 months old she is no longer considered a newborn. So sad, but so exciting as well. I can't believe she is 3 months old today! Time definitely is flying by. She is absolutely amazing and keeps us entertained every day. I'd like to say that she is getting really big, but even though she's not considered a "newborn" she's still holding on to those newborn clothes. She's just about to grow out of them, but most of them still fit. It's nice for me because we received so many newborn size clothes for the shower and I don't have the next size! Guess I have to hit the stores and start shopping. Darn!
So this month we have had Raegan on the move! She is a big socialite and loves, loves, loves to be out of the house. So much so that she is a much happier baby out of the house and lets us know by screaming while at home :) It's joyful and definitely makes our neighbors happy! She has been out to the beach, on some nature walks in the area, a few restaurants and lots of friend's houses. We have loved the fact that Raegan does so well out and about so that we don't have to completely give up our lives.
The best part about this month is all the smiles and now all the talking! Raegan blessed us with her first giggle and ever since, we've been dancing around making funny faces to try to get her to do it again! She will someday, but until then she is all smiles and coos. The other day she "talked" for almost a half hour! Adorable!
And this month Hayden purchased a nice camera, so the pictures are plentiful!! Check out all of Raegan's antics this month. Enjoy!
Amazingly the weather here in San Diego is much better during the winter than it was the entire summer. So on a nice afternoon in the mid seventies, we decided to take a stroll down to the beach and introduce Raegan to the sand and the ocean for the first time. She was passed out the entire walk, but being the determined parents we are (or mean spirited), we woke her up and made her play for some serious photo opps! And along the way we found a small soccer ball which made for Raegan's first soccer pix. We absolutely love these photos and Raegan didn't cry at all...guess she'll be a beach lover like her parents!

Today was a tough day, but Raegan and I both survived her first shots. I know she needs them, but boy is it hard to see her be poked and cry! She actually cried more before the shots than after, which was fun for me since it was her first time to this doctor. She apparently is afraid of that office or something. She screamed the entire time. Then when she got her shots she had a very new cry - it sounded like she was shocked more than in pain. Poor thing! But she was a champ and rested well soon after.
I had plans to attend her first Gymboree class to, but was wary of how she would be after her shots. She seemed like herself so I decided to go...but not before she had a poo explosion and then decided to pee all over everything while I changed her! I guess she was showing me who was boss and telling me she didn't appreciate being poked! :)We ende
d up attending her class since she seemed up for it, but again, I was proven wrong! She enjoyed the first 10-15 minutes, was a bit overwhelmed by everything and once one baby started crying it was all over from there. But overall it was a great experience and I got suckered into signing her up. We'll see how she likes it next time. I will say, a morning of shots and an afternoon of gymboree sure did wear her out! She passed out! I'm so glad they don't have to get shots every month. Raegan was a champ and conquered her first shots. Let's hope next round are just as easy.
Wow, time sure does fly when you have a little one! I can't believe Raegan is 2 months old already. Although I can't imagine or remember what life was like without her, it's still flown by. She is doing great and making us laugh every single day.
This month has been a lot of fun watching her do new things such as smile, hold her head up and even roll over. This little one is amazing and makes us so very happy. We have also joined a mommy & me group and Raegan has made a few new friends. She's the youngest of the group, but she'll take over soon enough :) We went to her first sing-a-long and story-time event and she loved it! She was very alert and taking it all in. Raegan is now also a regular at our soccer games as we knew she would be. It's a relief to know that she enjoys getting out of the house as much as we do and she behaves so we can keep up with the activities we love.Enjoy some new photos of Raegan's 2 months of activities. Stay tuned for more of her adventures!
I'm not on the up and up on newborn activities and when they're supposed to do what, but I'm not sure if Raegan is supposed to be rolling over already! Isn't she just supposed to lay there for a few more weeks?! She is an active little one already and is definitely going to keep us busy!
Our little Raegan is not so little anymore...she is getting so big and doing all kinds of new things lately. I know it's only 6 1/2 weeks, but man it's going by so fast! We took her to her doctor this week and she is now 9 pounds, 12 ounces and 22 inches long. Looks like all that breast milk is working and helping her grow big and strong. Raegan is also enjoying her tummy time. She can hold her head up really well and has even rolled over a few times...accidentally of course. Gravity is an amazing thing. But it's just a sign of things to come and how she's going to keep us on our toes here soon enough. I have to admit, it's 
pretty nice having her immobile for the time being. It will become more challenging when she is on the move soon.
This week we were also blessed with Raegan's first diaper blowout. I'm sure that is going to happen more and more to, but I just hope she doesn't ruin all of her adorable outfits this way! :)
