Reagan Update!

I know this post is SO far past overdue but there has been a lot going on and I am just plain bad at keeping this thing up to date, sorry!


Reagan has been learning and growing SO much since I last posted about her.
She is now 10 months old, holy cow!
She was so tiny we went in for her check up at 6 months that they had us come
back at 8 months so here's the stats from 2 months ago:


Height: 26.5" (35%)

Weight: 16 lbs 6 oz. (25%)

Head Circumference: 43.5" (55%)

She seems to have been growing a lot more in the last couple months than she was before.
Here's a few things she has learned:



  • Sitting up by herself at 7 months
  • Dragging herself around at around 8 months


  • Crawling completely at around 9 months
  • She got her 1st tooth about 9 months and currently has 2 (both on the bottom)
  • In the last 3 weeks she started pulling herself up to standing and now does it every chance she gets!
  • Just before 8 months I took the bottles away and switched solely to sippy cups, which she has actually done really well with!
  • She will eat any baby food I give her, but if she sees us eating regular food she will fuss until she gets some, no matter what it is!
  • She always wants to do whatever her big sister is doing!
  • Never without her big wide open smile!
  • She is still a great sleeper, goes to bed early and takes great naps!
  • If Lorelai is doing a puzzle she will do everything she possibly can to get to the pieces and it drives Lorelai crazy!

It is so fun to watch them play together, Lorelai is a good big sister and is always trying to help Reagan or make her laugh. Lorelai recently figured out how to climb into Reagan's crib so I find her there frequently when they wake up from their naps!


I can't believe Reagan is already 10 months, she is such a complete joy in our home and has so much happiness, we sure love our little girls!

Wagons and Snow!

Grandpa and Grandma Miller got the girls a wagon for Christmas and holy cow did they love it!
Unfortunately it's not the best weather for wagon rides, so we ride around in the garage and even though we are just going in circles they could do it all day long!
Lorelai even found a seat for her baby doll!

One day it was just too cold outside and Lorelai really wanted to ride the wagon so instead we brought it in the kitchen and let her eat lunch in it, that made her day!



Should have posted this way before Christmas but here it is, our first
chance to play in the snow this Winter!

Preston was trying to teach Lorelai how to make snowballs and throw them at me!

Christmas Time

In no particular order, because there's too many pictures to organize, here's a little bit of our Christmas this year!

Her face doesn't show it, but Lorelai loved riding the puppy and giving her treats!


Uncle Alex got the girls all kinds of hunting and fishing stuff for Christmas!



Reagan was SO fascinated with Grandpa House's "whiskers" she just wanted to play with them every time he picked her up!

Reagan had already crashed at this point.

We had a great Christmas this year and loved being able to go home and see all the family, can't wait to see everyone again!
