Time to get back at this blogging things

Well, it has been 8 months since I last wrote a blog entry. I don't have a lot of time to sit down and write but I miss writing everything going on in Raegan's life. Her baby book doesn't have much room to write every little thing and I don't keep a journal. So I need to get back into blogging. My New Years Resolution is to be better at this.

How do I recap 8 months so short and fast? Well I will start by saying Raegan is truly amazing. She amazes Ryan and I everyday, she is so smart and so funny and of course SO STINKIN CUTE!!!

She is 16.5 months old already and getting ready for her second Christmas.

Lets see if I can quickly recap some of her milesstones...

On Mothers Day 2010, when Raegan was just a little over 9 months old, she took her first steps!! And she hasn't slowed down since. Just a few days later she was running all over the place!!

July 10, 2010 she cut her first tooth!! FINALLY!!!! Bottom right incisor. We have now realized that whenever Raegan is about to cut a tooth she gets an AWFUL, very painful diaper rash that has to be treated with a prescription diaper rash cream. It only took 4 months and about 10 teeth to realize that it was her teeth causing this rash and not a food allergy or reaction to diapers or wipes.

Her teeth have come in very out of "order." She had one bottom tooth come in then two top teeth, 2 more top teeth, 2 bottom teeth, all 4 molars and then finally that last bottom tooth. She now has 4 bottom teeth, 4 top teeth and 4 molars. We are waiting for her canine/fangs to come through. I hear those are the worst. She has a big gap between her two top teeth that is the cutest thing ever!! I love it!!

July 30, 2010- HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAEGAN!!!!!
What an amazing year its been!! We had a party at our house with about 20 friends and family, ladybug themed of course!!

I made her tutu and birthday onesie! HAHAJ 1

Eating her cake! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUG!
I made her cakes too!!!


Raegs loved opening her gifts. She got so excited and was screaming with excitement!


AND a BIG pat on the back to me... I made my goal of breastfeeding for a year!! GO ME!! Once we introduced her to cows milk when she was one I weaned to just morning and night. By August/September we were down to just mornings. At the end of October I went away for a weekend for a girls weekend and took my pump but decided I was done. I didn't pump and when I got home she never "asked" to nurse! It was a VERY painful couple of days but we did it. 15 months! What an amazing bonding experience! Not to mention FREE! And also very healthy for both of us! Good work Raegan!
