RICHLAND, WASH. -- Raegan is one loved little girl. Her sisters are constantly arguing about who gets to hold her. Even Britta wants in on the action. She gives her little sister some tough love sometimes but Raegan takes it so well-- most of the time.
THREE MONTH STATS:
EATING: Every few hours when she's awake.
SLEEPING: At night she'll sleep for 8-10 hour stretches usually. Her naps are usually ridiculously long or cat naps throughout the day until she crashes at night. Quite often school pickup interrupts her nice afternoon naps.
WEARING: A few three month things and mostly six months clothes now. She's just so long.
INTERESTING TIDBITS: Raegan is officially exiting the newborn phase and I have mixed feelings about it. I miss the cute, cuddly, fall asleep everywhere/anytime phase. She now wants to always be sitting up and looking at things and she no longer falls asleep in two minutes with noise all around her. I love that about newborns. Now, if I want her to fall asleep, we either have to go to her room and shut the door so she can have some peace and quiet, or she'll fall asleep when we are out on a drive running errands or picking up Marin from school. This sweet girl can have epic naps in her carseat.
She's so much more aware of everything and gives everyone smiles. Her smiles make everyone melt. She's just such a happy, easy going baby. And her hair... it is still a fan favorite. She is also super ticklish... under her chin and her sides especially. Her little laugh makes us all smile and laugh too.
RICHLAND, WASH. -- Little Raegan hit the two month mark in September, so I'm a little bit behind in these updates. Raegan was given her baby blessing in church the weekend of Labor Day. We had a lot of people who came to town to help celebrate: Grandma and Grandpa Reeve, Grandma and Grandpa Candrian, Rob and Lorena and their cute kids, and my cousin Camea and Clayton and their family came over for the blessing as well.
I wish I (or someone) would have taken notes on what was said during her blessing, but it was such a beautiful blessing from Isaac. One of the things that stood out to me (and was mentioned by numerous people at church that day) was that Raegan would be a defender of the weak. I envisioned her standing up for Britta as older children and being her big sister's biggest fan, friend, and advocate. I know we have this sweet girl in our family for a reason. Her smiles, pleasant, easy-going personality, and joy she's brought into our lives confirms that.
TWO MONTH STATS:
EATING: Every few hours when she's awake.
SLEEPING: At night she'll sleep for 8-10 hour stretches usually. Her naps are usually ridiculously long or cat naps throughout the day until she crashes at night.
WEARING: Three month clothes
INTERESTING TIDBITS: She gives the best smiles to anyone who comes to look at her or talk to her. She started babbling a lot more and it's so cute to hear her coo's. We moved her upstairs to her new room and she sleeps so well up there!
Her hair is everyone's favorite and EVERYBODY who sees her comments on it. It's just so wild and sticks out everywhere. She likes to stick her arms out with her hands in fists and give the air little punches. It's one of my favorite things.
