Happy 8 months, Reagan!




This week we celebrate Reagan's 8 month birthday! It's amazing how much she's grown....and how curly her hair is becoming with each passing day.

We love so many things about Reagan. She has such a good personality. She's a very content baby, although she'll be the first to let us know if she's not happy (especially with Samuel). She's learning to use her fake "my life is over" cry to get WHATEVER she wants. I am not a victim of this nearly as often as Samuel and Scott are!

Reagan embodies happiness. We haven't bought many "things" for this child. She plays mostly with Sam's toys or things from around the house, like wooden spoons and plastic bowls. She loves to bang on things while we fix dinner or clean up before bedtime.

Reagan is a GREAT sleeper. She wakes herself in the morning and we typically find her in her room talking and laughing.

Reagan has stretched our family. Adjusting to life as a family of 4 was more difficult in the beginning than I could have ever imagined. It's different for everyone, but it was really hard for us. However, today I find it hard to even think about those long days and nights because I am overwhelmed with thanksgiving for this little person who completed our family for now. I am so thankful to be her mom.

Happy 8 month Birthday, Ray Ray!

Glad to see an update on all that's been going on with your family. Hard to believe Reagan is 8 months old, she is a doll. So thankful for her adorable personality and calm nature, we are praying for that for our next one. Just to let you know we are planning on coming to College Station the last weekend of Sep. Hopefully we can catch up with you while we are there.
