Mother's Day 2010

Mother's Day was a nice day. I'm surprised. It was the first day "for me" that was actually nice in a while. I was surprised. We got up and had a decent breakfast. I was actually able to take a shower and didn't have to get Reagan up. Jim got me a nice present from the family. Church was nice. We got to hang out with my mom after church and Jim's mom in the evening. All in all, it was nice normal day without a lot of chaos. Ahhhh!

The Baby C kicked!

Tonight, I was sitting in the rocking chair holding Reagan. As I leaned over to take Reagan to her bed, the baby kicked... hard. :)

Flying apples

Today, we all drove up to Papa's church for Mema's dedication service. We actually got out the door on time, but I left the toy bag at home. Ugh. She did fairly well for most of the service. Towards the end of the service, she started to get really restless. She started climbing and digging into her bag. She found her apples. I was actually impressed - because she got it open herself. I stopped being impressed when she started waiving the bag up and down. The bag quickly went from waiving in her hand to flinging apple slices across several pews. I could not stop giggling. Most of them landed on Jim, but there were some that landed over and around us. I was so thankful that everyone was a good sport about it. :)

Belly Laugh?

I actually heard Reagan cackle today on the way to school. She was watching Nemo and saw something that just tickled her funny bone and out came this loud goofy laugh. I had to laugh myself. I’ve heard her laugh before, but nothing like this. Just too funny.

Overnight with the parents

This weekend Jim and I took off for an overnight trip to Lexington. We had my mom and dad take care of Reagan from Saturday morning through Sunday evening. I was so happy to get a chance to be alone with Jim. We got to Lexington and I went straight to the spa. Mani, pedi and a massage. Ahhhhh. Then we had dinner and relaxed in the room. I had a nice time. We vegged!!!

The next morning we woke up and had an awesome breakfast and went to the pool. Ahhh again. I figured out that swimming laps is harder than I remember. Jim had his massage in the morning and I worked out at the gym. After that we headed home.

It was nice and simple and easy. But it was our first attempt to leave Reagan for a night.

We got home and she was sleeping. Perfect. Mom and Dad said she did fantastic. She asked to go to their house a few times and then "go home" for bed. Cute. When she woke up from her nap, she realized we were home and just hung on me. Mush!!!

All in all, I think the trip went well. Reagan did well and I got some peace and quiet with Jim. Next trip will be two nights!! he heee

Potty training

So far she is doing really well. I haven't felt real great due to Baby C wreaking havoc on my system, so I don't push her. But she's done great at school and once we get past dinner, she does well too. I'm hoping and praying that we are out of diapers by the time #2 shows up.

Crossing her arms

Over the last week, I've noticed that Reagan has started to cross her arms and tap her fingers when she's waiting on an answer from us. It's so cute. She'll say something like "you want to??" and then she'll cross her arms and look at you. Of course, she grins like a cheshire cat and wiggles her eye brows. I just wonder where she gets all her expressions.
