Birthdays and more!

So, I may very well be the worst blogger ever.  Being a working, pregnant mommy is probably the hardest thing I've ever done.  Managing time is not one of my greatest strengths and I tend to live in the moment and then try to figure out what I'm supposed to do later.  This has been great for spending time with Reagan and her brother, not so great for anything else.

Reagan's first birthday is 18 days away.  Inspired by Pinterest ideas, we're throwing a very small Hungry Caterpillar themed party.  I finally got around to working on the invites last night, which go through the entire story with Reagan as the main character.  She's our very hungry baby!  They are certainly homemade, but I think they are way cute. 

Reagan finally moved into the infant 2 classroom at daycare.  One of her teachers in the baby-baby class was very attached to her, and I think had a hard time letting her go.  What can I say, my baby is oh so lovable! She is an Olympic-speed crawler and will stand up by pulling up and let go now without falling, but NO she isn't walking.  I don't know how often we get asked the question, but she'll get there when she's ready, I'm sure.  We will be visiting an ENT in the next few weeks to check on Reagan's ears.  We're about out of winter, so hopefully if we're going to have to have anything done, it can wait for a little while.  I'm not ready for us to talk about any kind of hospital visit for my baby.  She never shows any signs of an infection, and at our check up yesterday, she didn't have one, but she keeps goop in her head all the time.  So does her brother though, but I'm the crazy mother that takes her to the doctor at the first sign of a booger, so we have really chronicled any aliment she's had.  I hope Reagan's baby sister will not have the sickies as much, and I hope she's a little easier going than my sweet girl (who is a very strong willed, spoiled rotten child!).

I'm excited about celebrating my little one's first birthday.  This year has flown by.  It has been full of surprises and milestones, all of which are help shaping me into the mother that I hope to be for all my babies--the big one, the spoiled one, and the new one.  It is really hard to even imagine how different her next birthday will be, but I'm looking forward to our family growing together.  We're incredibly blessed.

Happy Early Birthday Sweet Reagan!
