Great Afternoon at the Lake

With the weather overcast and storms forecasted for late evening, what better to do than go to Ivy Lake before it hits.  Plus, hardly anyone was there:)  

Before Reagan realized that he was surrounded by sand...

Then.....

Daddy buried his legs:)

Water time

"Daddy, I wanna go in all the way!"

Reagan enjoying a bottle while on the float

Completely naked!! Haha!

I finally got in once I felt the water.  It was perfect!

AND GUESS WHO GOT ANOTHER TOOTH TODAY.......YIPPEEEEEE!!!!!  

Look What I Can Do

I used to dream about the days that Reagan could crawl, sit up, etc.... Hahaha!! What was I thinking?!  He's a man on a mission going anywhere and everywhere at warp speed.  He spends a lot of his days playing in his bedroom by himself......and well....me in there trying to distract him from all the things he should not be getting into.

His favorite pastime is currently pulling ALL of his books out of the shelf.  Maybe having them on the bottom wasn't such a good idea after all.  

Of all the books, he likes the Ronald Reagan one. Hehe!

Since he can now sit up on the floor, he has realized that he can sit up in the crib, too, and pull himself up to stand.  So, needless to say, after a couple days of standing and sitting instead of sleeping, we lowered the crib mattress to the lowest notch and removed his bumpers, because they were becoming a HUGE distraction....didn't stop him, though.  So, yesterday, I looked at the video monitor and thought to myself "What in the world is he doing? Where are his legs?" 

So, Matthew and I peeked in to find this!!!!!!!  

Keep me in your prayers!!!!! HAHAHA!

New York Vacation

We finally got to take a trip to New York for a whole week!! Here are a few of my favorite pics that didn't make it to Facebook.  
Reagan and his cousin, Connor watching a show on the iPad:)

Reagan: "Let's hold hands."

Connor couldn't understand that just because he used the exersaucer last summer, it didn't mean it was his.  Haha! He was gently moving Reagan's hands off of the toys! Too cute.

A little pool time:)

Reagan's swimming trunks hanging next to Uncle Jonathan's

Cousin Connor showing Reagan how to put on a life jacket

By the end of the week, that hat no longer fit anymore, so look who got it.

Daddy and Reagan drove us to Boldt Castle

Did I mention that Reagan got his first tooth on the trip!!!!!

Joyful Noise

Loop Church is putting on a MovieFest this summer for six straight weeks and last night was the second one.  It's a free event for the community and so far has drawn a great crowd.  Last week's movie was "We Bought a Zoo" and last night's was

The activities started at 6:30, but the movie didn't start until 8:45, so even though it was way passed Reagan's bedtime, we couldn't miss it, at least until 9:00.  Immediately, Daddy put us to work at the Admissions booth.

We caught a glimpse of Daddy in the bounce house.  Haha!

Reagan was such a good boy the whole time!  

There was face and body painting.

Reagan got to spend some time with Matthew's co-worker and his wife.  

Reagan couldn't stop staring at him. Haha!  

Then, the sun set, everyone found a seat, they grabbed their popcorn and the movie began.

Reagan and I hit the road soon after the movie began.  Daddy helped us to our car.

If you haven't already, go to www.LoopChurchLive.com and watch the promo video on the homepage.  It features my two favorite guys:)

On a side note, even though Reagan cannot sit by himself or crawl, he loves to stand. Haha!

Randomness

No theme for this post --- only a bunch of random photos and memories:)  Let's start with some of Matthew's baby clothes that Reagan can finally wear.  They have been stored in a large tupperware bin for no telling how long, so you can only imagine their mothball, musty smell.  I have washed them numerous times and no luck....any suggestions???

Still can't sit up for long

Posing. haha!

Matthew and I call this one his Ronald McDonald outfit!!

We met Sarahann, Jay, Ashley, an Jimmy at the park last week for a cookout!  So fun!  

It all started out as a nice Father/Son picture......

until...........  So, you can imagine it running all down the tall, spiral slide.  I cleaned it as best as I could with a dry napkin (ewww).  It definitely made me stop and think what all stuff could be all over any public place.

I thought it was about time to get out the eye shadow that Matthew got me for Mother's Day.  The only thing is I never wear eyeshadow and have no idea how to put it on, so I had a little help. Hehe!

Looks good.....except a little drag queenish!!!! 

Saturday morning trip to Waffle House:)

Poor Maggie lost her bed.  I now keep it under Reagan's jumperoo, so he has a little cushion on his toes while he's jumping.  So, at night after he goes to bed, Maggie wastes no time cuddling up.

Last but not least, the dreaded once a month bumbo time.  I know some people love it, but I have hated it.  I do not like the tray and it's difficult to get him in and out because of his chubby...excuse me...very muscular legs.  In order to get him out, I have to stand on the back of it while pulling him with all my might. Hahha!!
