More Weekend Fun

The best seat in the house (between the grammies!)... Entertaining the restaurant at dinner (with melba toast in hand)...Posing for the camera (such a lady!)... Sitting Pretty (look at my new bracelet!)... Playtime with Uncle Matt...

Reagan's Special Sunday

This past weekend we visited David's parent's church in Hampton, IL and had Reagan baptized. It was a lovely service and she did surprisingly well (even when the water was splashed on her head). Here are quite a few shots of her special day, her sweet little white cotton dress and both our families. We are blessed ....and now she is too! :)

Shy Reagan...Wait for it...There's that face!The BullsThe Haselhorsts

Who's Your Daddy?

There is no denying Reagan's resemblance to her Daddy. As I was spring cleaning today and packing away some of our winter gear, I came across some albums that our mothers had given to us for our wedding - and found quite a few cute shots from our baby days...

I thought it might be fun to do a comparison and see what we looked like around Reagan's age... I am the smiling chunky one in the swing (with dark hair) while David is enjoying bathtime below - not to worry - these pics are G-Rated and suitable for work. :)

How do you know when it is time to remove the Mobile?

Apparently, as soon as they begin pulling up and can reach it.

These photos were taken just 3 minutes after I put her down for her afternoon "nap", heard a loud crash and sprinted up the stairs...

She was not napping.

Artful Designs

Friday afternoon we decided to meet a few other Moms at Artful Designs, a custom pottery studio here in town for some painting and crafts - first time visitors (babies) are given a free tile with their footprints to decorate and take home (we ended up having to upgrade the tile because her feet were too big for the "standard" size...go figure!) I will post our creations in a few weeks when they are finished firing and glazing them for us... Notice all the breakables in the background - proud to report that Reagan was an angel all things considered and snacked quietly in her stroller (until David came to pick her up after work so I could really get creative...) Very fun afternoon..

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!)
