Just to get caught up

Well, I had actually hoped to have lots of cool pictures and stories to talk about by now, but the weather just hasn’t cooperated.  Four score and seven days ago we were planning on going up to Gettysburg but it was raining like crazy so we had to cancel.  Then this last weekend we were supposed to go to a maritime carnival with seafood, boating events, and “living history” (aka more nerds in old costumes) but it was 105° so we decided to just go to Target and Toys R Us and even then we were dying of the heat.  So, no cool stories to tell, but there are a couple little fun things going on that I can talk about to hopefully make for some interesting reading.

Here’s an updated picture of baby Reagan.

We’re quickly falling in love with her big eyes that get bluer and bluer each day.  Unfortunately a lot of her long newborn hair has started to fall out – we haven’t had this much black hair on our stuff since we had our black cat.  But the long hair is at least being replaced with more hair, even though right now she just has a wicked-awesome mullet. 

She has become such an even-tempered little sweetheart that I’m starting to wonder what we did to deserve such good kids.  I’m hesitant to say it, but we’ve even been lucky enough to have her sleep through the night for almost a week.  She still squeaks every once in a while so Thesha will get up and put her binky back in, but then she’ll fall right back to sleep.  Of course we did have one night where Thesha had to give her a little bottle again, but at least it’s not two bottles a night for a hour each time trying to have her eat and go back to sleep.  The first night it happened I was actually out of town.  I got back and Thesha was so excited to tell me about it.  She had just adjusted her schedule so she figured she would just let Reagan wake up and cry to let her know when she was ready to eat but then the whole night went by and there was nothing more than a few squeaks.  So that night we tried it again and sure enough she was sleeping through the night with next to no effort on our part.  We almost don’t know what to do with all the sleep we’ve been getting.  Who am I kidding, we know exactly what to do with it – sleep.  (That’s right you pervs that thought I was going to say something else.)

Tyler’s becoming quite the chatter-box.  He’s started being able to mix in real words with his jabbering and has even graduated from single words to short phrases.  His phrase de jour… “Uh, oh. I made a mess.”  Now where did he pick that up from?

Here’s a fun picture of his latest sleeping habit.  I don’t know how he manages to get all the crap in his crib piled on top of himself, but Thesha got the proof with this picture.

Since you can’t really see who this is under the pillow, blanket, and stuffed dog, I figured I had better add a decent picture of his face as well.

Well, that’s about it for now.  Hopefully we’ll have something more exciting to blog about soon.
