You know your a mom when all you want to do is take a million pictures of your baby. I do have to say that we have cut back from taking about 20 pictures a day to 20 pictures a week now. We have also gotten better when it comes to hand sanitizer. I was probably using the sanitizer about 80 times a day her first month of life. I'm still on top of washing my hands more then a normal person, but not to the point that my hands are cracking from being so dry. We are so blessed to have a baby that sleeps so great at night. She never had day and night confused, and has been a great sleeper from the start. I actually got sad two nights ago because she only woke up once to nurse. She went to sleep at 7:30 and didn't wake up till 2am to nurse. She was waking up at 12:30am to nurse and again at 3, but now she is down to only nursing once in the middle of the night. I know that I should be thrilled, but it makes me a little sad how fast she is growing up. I just want to keep her my baby forever. Jake thinks I'm crazy because I'm sad she is getting up less. He said to me, "Soon she'll sleep all night." I had to tell him that most people consider 6.5 hours a normal night sleep. I guess in our family we sleep a lot. Today I actually had to wake Reagan up at 9:45am for the day. I think she would have slept the day away. She did wake up at 6am to nurse, but put herself back to sleep. She is such a happy baby and has started to smile about everything we do. I'm just waiting for her to pop out a big laugh. I know that the day is coming that we'll be getting that every so sweet giggle. She has also started to really become ticklish, which Jake loves. I feel bad for her already because I know he is going to torture. I still remember my Dad tickling me so bad that I would cry. I guess that is what being a Dad is all about! Reagan has also started to really get some taste buds. You can tell when she breastfeeds and I have eaten something she likes. She'll lift her eyebrows and chow down. The downfall of this is that when she gets her vitamins she hates it now. She is growing so fast and already in her 6 month clothes. Jake and I swear we go to bed and the next day she has grown. I guess we must be feeding her well. I guess that is all I can think of to report for now. I hope that everyone likes the new pictures and enjoys following the blog.

I love all the new pictures and updates! As with Baylor ,Reagan is just the center of her parents lives. It was hard for Chelsea the first time Bay slept in his own room! And the seemingly smallest thing can bring joy! That is what it is all about, and I'm delighted you both are enjoying this special time so fully! Love, Aunt Marsha
