Our First Play Date!

Here are some quite funny pics of many (other) bald babies at our Pizza & PJ's Party we attended with the Java Mama's (mom's group I just joined here in Bloomington) this afternoon. As I write this I am watching one of my favorite reality TV shows - Jon & Kate Plus 8 (about a family with twins and sextuplets) and realizing that the group photo I snapped today of all the kids on the couch is still missing one child to match the size of their family - I can tell you the party was fun, but a little nuts at times (most of the time!) and to be in Kate's shoes everyday would be quite a challenge! So here is my salute to Kate! Reagan is worn out, and went to bed early tonight - but it was worth it - I think she made a lot of new friends...

The whole gang...(it is amazing nobody fell off the couch!)

Reagan "makes nice" with the spoon

As many of you know, Reagan has a complete disregard for baby food and is ready to sit down with us for a steak dinner with potato. I believe it is linked to the fact that all baby food is typically served on a spoon, which she has not mastered quite yet and therefore refuses to participate. She prefers finger foods that she can squish and self feed with her tiny little hands and really make a mess out of. Until today. I thought it was the spoon she was avoiding, but maybe just the food on it - here we see Reagan overcoming her spoon anxiety and accepting plain old applesauce with glee - applesauce technically is a grown up food so I believe she is willing to make an exception here.

However, still no peas, carrots or beans allowed (of the pureed variety). We'll keep you posted.

On the Road Again...

Bathtime with Grammy Playtime with a new toy Reagan rocks out! Making new friends with Bella Swinging with Daddy Reagan had a very fun weekend and Grammy and Pappy Bull's house in Erie - our weekend included shopping, playing and swinging in the new swing seat that Grammy bought for her. It was a bit cold and windy, but Reagan seemed to like it just fine - we got a few fun smiles!

Thanks Grammy and Pappy for a great weekend!

Best Friends

In honor of Reagan's 8th month birthday today I allowed her some supervised "playtime" with Payton, who was not amused. I don't know what they would do without each other...

Reagan taunts Payton

Payton fights back.

Reagan scolds Payton for punching her with her non-claw front paw.

Guess Who is 8 Months Old Today?

Grammie Haselhorst makes the blog

Here is a pic from this past weekend of my mom and Reagan - looking very happy while Reagan is intrigued with a new toy that made it back to Bloomington with us...
This weekend we will be visiting David's parents so Grammy and Pappy Bull will make their debut on the blog next week!

Our Weekend Trip

This past weekend, Reagan and I hit the road and went south to visit my parents and attend our good friend's (Scott & Bridget) bridal shower on Sunday - David stayed behind and studied for his next certification test that will complement his new job as a Financial Consultant at Country Financial (he started today - hooray!).

We also had a blast hanging out with PaPa Kenny (my dad) Great PaPa Larry (my mother's father) and tormenting dear Cindy at the shower. Good thing she is a good sport and happens to really like little ones.... namely, 8 month old babies who are grabbing everything :) I also had a chance to meet my home girls out for a bit of fun on Saturday night while Grammy watched Reagan... (sorry Bridget, you should have jumped in the photo...)

After getting home and uploading my photos last night I realize that Grammy Carla isn't in a single photo! Sorry Grammy! (You'll have to send me one of yours if you want to make the blog....)
