5 months?!

Can we PLEASE slow down time? 5 months have gone entirely TOO fast! While Reagan is at a really fun age, I don't like how quickly the months are going by. 

She has had a really active/busy month.  I weighed/measured her today.  Her 5 month stats are 17 lbs and 26 inches long.  She moved up to size 3 diapers this week.  She is still wearing size 6 months and some 6-9 month clothes.  I tried the 9 month clothes on her and they are just a little too big right now.  Maybe the next week or two.  Her night routine begins around 7:30 and we put her down around 8.  She usually wakes up around 6.  She takes a lot of cat naps during the day.  Sometimes she takes a really long nap and then shorter naps the rest of the day.  While she isn't napping she is learning, busy, and FUN!

Here is what she is up to:
-She is rolling completely over now.  We think she startles herself when she goes from her tummy back to her back. 


-She smiles CONSTANTLY and we love it! Okay, so she does have moments where she cries.  Here is one of those moments...

-Reagan loves to stand assisted.  Girl already has really strong legs!

-She loves bath time.  She now lays on her back in the tub while I wash her hair and clean her off.  Then she likes for me to turn her over and she plays with her light up duckies.  She loves to splash, but scares herself when it gets in her eyes and face.


-Reagan is eating solids for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For breakfast she has bananas mixed with oatmeal cereal.  Her lunch is apples or pears.  For dinner she has sweet potatoes or carrots.  Her favorites are sweet potatoes and carrots.

-She drools likes crazy.  In this picture you can see a little drool on her dress.  We think there will be teeth in the near future.  All the symptoms are there: drooling, chewing everything, sometimes (girl loves to eat) refuses food, really runny poop, and low grade fever.


-She is almost sitting up on her own.  Sat her down the other day and she pushed herself up after she slumped over.  Build those abs baby girl!

-She reaches out for Hector and gets really excited when he comes near.  She smiles at him too.  This morning I caught him peeking in on her as I watched Reagan wake up over the monitor.  They are going to be a special pair when she gets older.  Look at her face here...




-She can hold her bottle, but has a little trouble holding it up for a long time.  Plus, I'm not ready to give that up yet. 


We took her 5 month picture yesterday morning.  I showed my class her monthly pictures and they were amazed that Boo Bear was getting smaller.  They still don't quite understand that she is 5 months and not 5 years old.  :)  I wanted to share the monthly pics on here so you can see how much she has changed and grown over the past 5 months.  It's amazing!

Reagan's Baptism

Yesterday was a very special day for our family.  Reagan was baptized at our church, The Episcopal Church of Our Saviour.  Not only was she baptized, but her godfather, Uncle Cory was baptized with her.  It meant so much to have our family and close friends there for the special day.  We love our church and we look forward to watching Reagan grow up in our church.  Here are some pictures from the baptism.
