Well, I find myself asking where all the time went. I cannot believe that almost a year has gone by since Raegan has entered our lives. To say, your life will never be the same, is an understatement. The times that we have had this past year have been at times rough, full of tears (both hers and mine), but they have also been full of such laughter that it makes all those other times melt away. And then there's the special moment we have before she falls asleep at night, just cuddling and rocking having passed another day. My baby is almost a year old and I am just now learning to cherish all these small moments. You don't really believe people when they tell you it will fly by and to cherish everything; but it's the truth. I love this little girl more than she may ever know.
In the past month, Raegan has:
*gotten three more teeth on top, for a total of four on top and two on the bottom
*learned to sign please...finally! I've been working on that one for a long time
*started letting go while standing up and actually standing from a sitting position
*started blowing kisses
*made a new friend, Sammi
Needless to say, she has been making leaps and bounds to become a wonderful little one year old! We have been busy making plans for Raegan's first birthday party. We can't wait to celebrate with our family and friends. It will be filled with balloons (her new favorite things), monkeys (of course), and colors. I find this little tidbit funny; in her first year of life, Rae will not have an Easter.
I am enjoying staying at home and have a new little girl that I watch. She is 6 months old and her name is Sammi. I am loving that the weather is getting warmer as this means we can play outside! We have already been on many walks and love playing out front. For now, Rae rolls along in a walker, but it won't be long until she's walking right along with Amelia!
Mike is rolling along with the school year. He is almost done with the 3rd quarter, which means he's that much closer to being at home with us, which we can't wait for. Summer will be full of cross country practice, HUG Camp, and I'm sure lots of trips to the zoo and pool.
