Double Digits now!

Just hearing "10 months" makes me have bittersweet feelings.  So proud of her for what all she is doing now, but sad at the same time because she is so close to her 1st birthday.  I know every month I say this, but every month is another exciting time in each phase she goes through.  This month has especially been fun because we had Spring Break as a family, celebrated my 30th birthday, introduced Reagan to the pool, the beach, and the zoo.  While in Savannah, we got to hang out with Reagan's Aunt Kissy and Patrick.  Here is what else she has been up to...

                                     

                                                           


-Reagan is still wearing size 12 months, some 12-18 months.  She has started wearing her fun summer clothes, which I LOVE! Now if we can just keep her cute sandals on...

-She weighs 22 lbs and is around 29 inches or so.

-She has become a pro at crawling.  She has gotten so fast, I almost have to run to keep up with her.  She even laughs sometimes as she is crawling away.  Chad says she got that from him.

-Her latest obsession is playing in Hector's water bowl.  This is one of the places she crawls really fast to and laughs as she is getting there.  We decided to buy a water table for her because she loved playing in the water.  She enjoys her new toy, especially since she enjoys being outside.

-Reagan wants to walk so bad.  I don't know if I am mentally ready for that first step.  She stands so much now and has let go on a few occasions, but drops down soon after letting go.

-She loves baby goldfish! Thank you LG for letting Reagan try some of your goldfish.

-Reagan hates shoes on her feet.  I don't know if it's because she thinks she needs to play with them or what.  My coworker told me her daughter eventually didn't mind having them on.  I hope Reagan outgrows hating shoes eventually.

-She has 8 teeth now (4 on top, 4 on the bottom)

-Reagan celebrated her first Easter last weekend.  She went on her first Easter Egg Hunt, rode on her giraffe toy from Papa and KayKay, and wore her first pair of bunny ears.

It's so hard for us to believe that our princess is already 10 months old.  When they tell you to enjoy every moment, they are not kidding.  It flies by!

When we went for Reagan's 9 month appointment, I got one of the first compliments as a Mommy.  I have those days when I wish I had more patience because I am so tired when I get home from work.  It's not Reagan's fault I am so tired, but I'm not the "fun" Mommy I want to be.  After Dr. Copple had met with us at her appointment, he actually came back into the room a few minutes later and said "You really enjoy being a Mom don't you?" I was kind of taken aback so I asked him what he meant.  He had heard me singing and talking to her while I was getting her redressed.  He said he could just tell in my interactions with her.  Not to mention, I was playing with her on the floor of the Doctor's office.  I know I may not be the perfect Mommy, but at least someone noticed that I enjoy being Reagan's Mommy.  If you are reading this and you have a newborn or any age baby or child, cherish every moment with your child.  Even if you are worn out, can't think straight, etc.  This time is so precious!

Happy 10 months baby girl!  Mommy and Daddy love you so much!  I like to look back sometimes...
