Zoo

I've been waiting to go to the zoo for a very long time. I haven't been since I was really little. So Dave took me on Saturday for my birthday. We had a great day and Reagan had a great time too.

Walking at 10 months!

I can't believe that my baby is starting to walk already. She is getting better and better at it everyday. At first she would just use her one hand to balance on things when she was standing up. Then she practiced her balance by just standing in one place. And before I knew it she was doing this.
And because I can't resist here are a couple more.

The was the plastic cover over her baby book. She was playing with this and started getting tired. She started laying her head in her hand through the plastic. So cute.

Crazy Hair/ Can't help but being cute

Reagan's hair has been growing and it's getting a bit long. I keep saying that I need to get it cut...well at least a trim but Dave doesn't want me to touch it. So I have to work with what I've got. So I've been trying to do different things with her hair lately. So here is my frist attempt at her new hair style.


What do you think? Am I cute or what?

Her crazy hair after she has had a bath. Getting really long.


She loves her daddy so much. Look how tired she looks. But it doesn't matter because all she wants at the end of the day is her daddy.

Recent Happenings

A couple of things have kept me from blogging lately. But now I think things are relatively back to normal. We just recently moved to Orem so Dave could be closer to his work. And it has been so nice to have a place of our own. A couple weeks before we were to move I had to have emergency surgery. I had an ectopic pregnancy....I think that's how you say it. Any way Dave and I were both pretty shocked about that because I had a IUD in and the chances of you getting pregnant with one of those in is about 1%....so says my doctor. I guess I was one of those lucky 1% then. It was pretty scary and the doctor said had I of waited any longer to come in I most likey would have died. I was 7 weeks pregnant and the doctor said that it's pretty typical for the egg to rupture, which mine did, around that time. I went into surgery, the procedure was only supposed to be a half hour but it took 2 hours because my blood was just one big blood clot. I had to have a transfusion because I had lost so much blood. Anyway I'm doing much better and glad to be able to hold my little girl once again. I was told not to hold her for about a week and my wonderful husband made certain that I didn't lift anything, or do anything to difficult for the whole week. Yeah it got pretty boring.
So like I said we moved and I will get some pictures of our new place up soon. It's smaller than where we were before but like I said it is our own place and that we are so happy for. The best thing...well there are a few but a couple things I love so far about this place is Reagan has her own room. I love being able to put her in her crib, turn on the music, and shut the door and walk away. not having to worry about every little noise I make that might wake her up. And the next thing is having a washer and dryer. I no longer have to pack up all my laundry and the baby and drive a half hour away to my parents house to do laundry. I can do it whenever I want!!!
Dave's doing great in his new job and he is loving being a therapist. I just got a promotion at work to Assistant house supervisor. That means that I will be working more and also seeing Dave less and less. I am still hopeful that one day we will have a decent schedule to be able to see each other. I currently work Monday, Thursday, and Friday evenings from 3-10 and every other saturday morning from 6-2. I'm getting more pay and this will help us a lot so we are excited about that. Hopefuly we can save a lot more so we can get into our own house. That's all for now.

playing catch up

First are a few pictures of Reagan being silly. I just can't help myself. I just love my little buggie. She is such a happy girl and loves to show it.



Next are some pictures from Bear Lake where Reagan first met her Grandma and Grandpa Nichols and Uncle Danny. The water was a bit cold that day but we all still had fun.

Grandma Nichols

A week later Dave's parents and brother came to stay with us for a few days. It was a lot of fun. We will miss them a lot. Maybe our next vacation will be to washington to visit them.

9 Months

Reagan hit the 9 month mark today. She went to the doctor for her 9 month visit with the doctor. And the best thing about the visit NO SHOTS!!! The only thing they gave her was a prick in her heel. She cried when they did that but she quickly recovered. She is in the 20th percentile of growth. The doctor told me that if there were 120 girls in the same room her age. She would be taller than 20 of them, I'm told that this is good because I have been told numerous times that Reagan is very tiny for her age. Anyway she is now 16 pounds and 10 ounces. She is doing very well and is a happy growing girl.

Walking?

Ok now I know I put way to many videos up but I can't help myself. For a week Reagan has been pushing things across the floor while on her knees. I can tell she is getting pretty anxious to walk. I told Dave that we needed to get her something that she can push around to help her learn to walk. And thanks to my wonderful aunt Rachelle, who has lent us so many wonderful toys for Reagan already, Let her use this little walker. And when she gets older the seat comes together to make a bike so she can ride on it.And thanks to her top teeth coming in she now does everything with her tongue hanging out.Thanks Rachelle she absolutely loves it!
