Irresistable..


Couldn't help but find the humor in this picture. Someday Reagan will resent the fact that I'm totally amused by putting all sorts of things on her head and taking pictures, but that's years from now. In the mean time, I'm going to continue to have fun doing this.
Brief update on the sleepless nights post; still having some trouble, but think that we're just going to have to let her cry it out. The night I posted we were up only once; I went in to check on her and picked her up and she fell back asleep instantly. So I'm thinking that this is just something that she does in her sleep...not sure if it's night terrors or not, but hopefully we'll all be sleeping through again soon.

Sleepless nights...


I know it's only been a few days, but I still just can't believe what transpires before my eyes...
We've been having, shall I say, a sleeping problem lately. Reagan has been up almost every night at least twice for the past few weeks. She wakes up with this terrifying scream, like she's seen a ghost or something...and with the age of our house, anything is possible. Anyway, we've tried everything...lovies, more binkies, milk, water, hugs...nothing has seemed to work. She fights going back in the crib and is totally miserable when we leave the room.
And, to top it off, all of this has caused many sad days at daycare.
So, last night was the first night in weeks that she actually made it through without waking up...or waking us up, but either way, everyone was rested this morning. I don't think we really did anything different other than keeping her up until she just about collapsed in the living room. Now, on to night two...here's hoping for another restful night...she's been down for over an hour and a half now and it's totally quiet up there. Wish us luck!

How Time Flies...


It was just yesterday it seems that we were bringing Miss. Reagan home from the hospital. We had her pack 'n play with bassinet and changer all set up in our living room with lots of diapers and wipes stockpiled in the little cubby...there were changes of outfits and an excessive amount of bibs and burp cloths in there, too...

Now, a year later, my little girl is walking everywhere. She's totally into my hair stuff in the bathroom; she finds any means possible to get in there and pick up hairspray and makeup...What a girl!

And somewhere in there I think, you know, WE made it a year, too. It hasn't been easy, I must admit. I think we thought it was going to be easier than it has been; we've been together 7 years now...we must be experts at eachother...but no, this has been a huge learning experience for both of us. I think we're getting better at it; after all, this is just the beginning!
I can't imagine what the next year will bring, but I'm certain that there is a wonderful plan for all three of us. I can't wait to see what it is!
