RAEGAN: Five Months Old

RICHLAND, WASH. -- Raegan celebrated her first Christmas this past month. Santa didn't bring her much, because she really just loves playing with her packages of baby wipes... something about that crunching sound babies just can't get enough of. Also, she can say, "Mama." It makes me happy. 


FIVE MONTH STATS: 

• None taken this month.

EATING: Tried rice cereal. Was pretty indifferent and wasn't quite sure what to do with it when we put the spoon in her mouth. 

SLEEPING: Morning nap about an hour and a half after she wakes up. Sleeps for a few hours, usually, until around 1 p.m. and then has another nap after we pick up Marin from school. Has started to fall asleep much better when I just lay her down and close the door. She goes right to sleep. It's so nice. 

WEARING: Six month clothes  

INTERESTING TIDBITS:  Sits up like a champ. Rolls over both ways and all over the place. 

Loves the bath. Loves her sisters, though is loved a little too much sometimes by Britta.

Marin wants to hold her while standing up... asks to hold her standing up all the time. ha

Starting to babble more.

Says "Mama" and "Dada."  But she definitely said, "Mama" first. That's a first for any of my kids... the others all said "Dada" first. 

In addition to her first Christmas, she also took her first epically long road trip. On Christmas day (we opened gifts on Christmas Eve this year), we drove down to St. George, Utah for a little random getaway of sorts. She did amazingly well for being in the car day after day. She was such a champ.

Loves playing with her feet and pulling off her socks. I'm not sure why I bother putting them on her most days. They always end up pulled off.

Her hair is still just as wild as ever. 

First Christmas!

Watch out! 

In St. George, Utah, where we met up with some Reeve cousins who were also in town!

Isn't she the cutest?! Hair and all. 

We love her SO much! 

One day her hair will lay flat. One day.
