Virginia is for lovers and precious babies

On December 26 we took Reagan on her first big trip to Virginia to visit Karen, Larry, and Walker.  After doing much research on traveling with a baby, we were ready to go. 

Check this cool mom out:

In all seriousness- the Baby Bjorn was the best thing ever.  I was able to wear Reagan all the way through security.  It was also nice when we had go to a different terminal in Charlotte. 

 

Look at the this sweetness-- she's such a Daddy's girl!

My view as I'm walking to the the plane:

Tired baby!

WE MADE IT!!!  Reagan was awesome on both flights.  I'm talking no crying or fussiness!  She got an A+++++++++!

Funny story- So Jerry and I took the pacifier away at Thanksgiving.  Before getting on the plane we decided we would give it to her if she started crying and when the pressure changed.  Well...Miss Pris forgot how to use a pacifier!  We literally put it in her mouth and she just chewed on it.  I guess that back fired!

While we were in VA we visited with family and friends.  It's so nice seeing everyone.  We always have a great time when we go to Virginia. 

Here is a picture of Austin.  This is Jerry's cousin's son.  Austin is about 2 months older than Reagan.  They drove 3 hours just to have lunch with us.  It was so great seeing them. 

This is Cameron and Leah-- Jermey and Laurinda's twins! So cute!

 

While we were in VA, when visited the University of Virginia.  Walker is currently a freshman at UVA.  BEAUTIFUL campus!  I really enjoyed hearing about the history and seeing campus.

We also stopped by the Kappa Delta house.  AOT!

 

We had such a great time in Virginia!  I love going up there and I'm so grateful for this precious time with family. 

Christmas

Why yes, I am just now posting about Christmas.  Time goes by so fast!  It seems like life is on fast forward right now.  Reagan's first Christmas was amazing--almost magical.  I loved decorating the tree with her, visiting Santa, and watching her play with wrapping paper.  It seemed like she liked the wrapping paper more than some of her gifts!  Here are some pictures from the holidays:

 

Reagan's gift to us- She made it at school.  I got a little chocked up when I opened it.  On the inside it's an ornament with her footprint on it.

Loving her new toy!

Reagan decided to get sick on the 23.  We are talking 103 temp.  Not fun.  She was a total champ through it all though.  This is her just hanging out.  I like to think she's saying, "I'm chillin like a villian."

 Luke and Reagie enjoyed playing together.  So cute!

 

Finally!  It's Christmas!  Reagan was feeling much better and loved playing with her new toys!

She was definitely on the "Good" list!

Chritmas is so much fun when you have a baby! 

8 months

This little girl is 8 months old!

It's kind of hard to get a picture these days that isn't blurry!  She is on move!!

 Reagie loves bath time!  And yes, that is a storage bin that she's bathing in--- don't judge me! 

 Reagan is a dog lover!  Where did she get that from???  The dogs are not so in to her though.  They seem scared of her.  They probably don't know what to do. 

 Reagan also likes to go to lunch with Mackenlie.  Such sweeties! 

 Oh my cuteness! 

Eat- Reagan loves her fruits, but is not as in love with veggies.  We have to disguise the veggies, by mixing them with fruit.  She has sarted sticking her tounge out and trying food.  If it's fruit, she will open her mouth.  If it's a vegetable, she will turn her head away!  Sassy sassy! 

 

 

 

Play- This girl can play!  Seriously, this girl hardy naps at school because she is too busy playing all the time.  She loves playing with all her new Christmas goodies. 

 

Tricks/Discovies/ Accomplishments- She has started laughing alot! It's sooo sweet!  Makes my heart so happy. She also did awesome on her first flight to Virginia.  Everyone commented on what a super baby she was.  :)  Reagan can also now move from sitting to crawling with no trouble.  Hello baby proofing! 

Reagan has also started to give kisses!

 

Sleep- Reagan goes to bed around 7:30-8ish and sleeps most nights through the night.  THANK THE LORD! 

 

Reagan,

 

I love you so much!  Your sweet smile warms my heart.  Everytime I look at you, I feel so proud.  Thank you for being my daughter.  I love you.
