4 Months Old!

Reagan turned 4 months old yesterday. Which is weird. Seriously, how is it going by so fast? Jay was so excited because 4 months is the time that we can start giving Reagan rice cereal, which he wanted to do right away. And Reagan? She's just glad someone is FINALLY feeding her! Mainly since no one EVER does!

Christmas At Home

This year's modest Christmas was Reagan's first, and the first one that Kameryn will probably be old enough to remember and healthy enough to enjoy!

Getting ready to go see what Santa brought!
Reagan, not so sure about this whole Christmas thing.
Reagan's new octopus, which talks when you press his legs and teaches her color names in 3 languages!
Reagan thinking this whole Christmas thing is pretty cool!
Kameryn was so mad after we got her dressed in an outfit Santa brought that she decided she hated Christmas and didn't want to open ANY presents. So I told her she didn't have to open any of her presents, but we should watch while Reagan opened some of hers. And after seeing how this whole present thing worked, Kami decided maybe she would try it out after all. The first present she opened was this little dog from Santa.Who she has totally fallen in love with. When I asked her what the doggy's name was, she told me, "Doggy Mackenna."
This was the first phase of Christmas. After our Christmas, we went to Jay's parents house and then to Allie's house for my family. And we got so much stuff, I think it will be like a second Christmas when we go through it today to put everything away! Thank you to everyone who spoiled me and my family and especially my girls!!!

WE: What do you do when you don't feel heard?

My answer can be found here.

Treats

I love a good Mountain Dew. Kami loves the aforementioned peanut butter on a spoon. And Reagan has a favorite treat as well:
She loves a good foot. One is good, but two are better.
Sometimes when you're sucking on a good toe, you just are able to ponder the world in all it's majesty.

Interpretations

I was in the kitchen today before work, making egg sandwiches for lunch. Kami starts asking for something, but I can't quite understand what she's asking for. At first it sounds like, "Piter."
"Spider?" I guess.
"No."
When she says it the second time it sounds more like "Potter."
"Water?" I guess.
Wrong again. Kami can tell she's going to have to spell this one out for me, so she starts explaining in steps, slowly, so I can follow. Obviously, sometimes you have to simplify so Mom can understand.
"Spoon." She says while opening the drawer and pulling out a spoon for herself. Then she goes to the pantry, opens it, and points up.
"Potter. POTTER."
And it dawns on me. Butter. Peanut butter. My daughter wants a spoonful of peanut butter. And I know that some people think that is a really weird thing to do, and I get that.
I, on the other hand, do it on a regular basis.
And now, Kami and I can enjoy our peanut butter together. Spoonfuls of it. And there's something that makes me so happy about that.

My Girls

I remember being pregnant with Reagan and worrying that there was no way I could love another baby as much as I love Kameryn. It seems silly, but it was a real concern. Now, I don't know if there's anything that I love more than seeing my family all together. Reagan is full of sweet baby smiles, and Kami loves talking to her and getting her to smile and coo. And I'm so proud of both of them.


This was the first picture I took of them.
And then the flash popped up and surprised them both...
Beautiful Girls!CHEESE!!!
