Well, I can't believe that it's almost been 8 months since Raegan was born. This little girl sure has changed everything in our lives. Since our last post (a really, really long time ago...we apologize), Raegan has begun eating solid food including fruits, veggies, and she had her first taste of chicken on Thanksgiving. So far, she has pretty much loved everything; we're not sure if it's just because it's food or if she really does like it all. Either way, she's a great eater. Recently, she's been having some juice and snacks just like a big girl. To go along with being a big girl, she has her two bottom teeth ( just in time for Christmas!), she is crawling all over the place, and attempting to pull herself up on anything she can. Looks like we might be in trouble when it comes time for Christmas! She loves paper (eating it, playing with it), so I think she'll be a fantastic 'unwrapper' when she gets her presents.
At the beginning of October, Raegan and I were able to get away for a couple of days with my family to the Dells. We had a great time seeing horses, going to the water park, and just hanging out. We missed Mike, but he was busy cheering on his kids during their race downtown at the marathon. It was the highlight of their season. Raegan's first Halloween was a hit. We didn't end up trick-or-treating, but she was the cutest little monkey. Thanksgiving was pretty busy, but everyone was excited to see Rae. She was a trooper through our 3 turkey day celebrations.
We are all looking forward to the next couple weeks. Mike is done with cross country and is now working on Academic Decathalon- basically a club where kids take a bunch of tests. As of January 3, I will be working from home. Raegan and I will get to spend the day together along with other kids I will be watching. So far, I have one little girl and am hoping to get more. And Raegan, well, she's looking forward to whatever comes next :)
