Waiting for Santa

The 2 muchkins with Uncle Jason

Hi and Happy New Year. The holidays flew by but we were very happy (and lucky) to be able to spend them in the midwest. We arrived in Grand Haven about 1 hour before it started snowing and it didn't stop for 4 days. The poor people who volunteered there seats in San Diego to accompany our late butts may not have made it home. Reagan was a dream on the flights and bus ride from LA due to fog preventing us from landing in San Diego on our return home. What a trooper! Reagan was able to meet a ton of new people and she loved them all. She met Santa Claus, too!! Cousin Carson wasn't too hip on his new cousin, he preferred self portraits. Cousin McKenna and Reagan are best of friends they had a lot to talk about. It was too funny seeing these two communicate, they just talked and talked in a language only they knew.

I went back to work on 1/8 and Reagan went to daycare. Then on 1/9 Reagan got the stomach bug "that is going around". That was a fun night.=) We survived our first sickness and everyone is recovering. I like to refer to it as Daycare Intiation.

Our munchkin is growing like a weed. Her body is slowly catching up with her head.=) She went to the doc and she is all of the sudden tall (75-90%) and lean (25%). Watch out Heidi Klum!

I feel like it has been a whirl wind of stuff going on but can't think of anything to report. I will try to do my best in updating the blog. I know I have slacked in the past month

Here are some more pics:

Raising Money for Hunger and Poverty

You may be wondering why I have these advertisements on the blog. One of my clients, Archetype Media, has a cool new product called SocialVibe that allows you to select brand advertisements in your social media (such as MySpace, Facebook, or Blogger). Each time someone views your MySpace, Facebook, or blog with the advertisement, money is raised for charity. These guys have a great idea, and you should definitely try it out. You can go to Social Vibe's website to try it out.

Later.

Happy Holidays!!

Reagan is/was rolling over. She rolled over on her 2 month bday and for the next week she was enjoying her new talent. I was able to get some action photos. Now she is over it and would rather suck her arm than roll.

We also have been trying to get our photo for our Christmas cards done and it has been tough. Stella is out, she isn't letting me torture her this year. Reagan has been tough b/c we want her to smile and she is still anti-camera. Wish us luck who knows how it will turn out or who will end up on the Christmas cards.

Regan attended her first OB parade. I was impressed; she was sleeping when we got there and the loud old cars, the fire truck and all the people couldn't wake her. She is a good sleeper, Phil and I are grateful.=) After she woke up she enjoyed all the action and had a great time until the the big semi came and honked his horn.

We are getting excited to venture to the Midwest for the holidays! Reagan is very excited to meet grandpa, grandmas and all her aunts, uncles, cousins!

Enjoy some more photos..... http://picasaweb.google.com/filbennett/ReaganDecember#

Keep the camera out of my face

Yes, Reagan has decided to become anti-camera. She smiles non-stop until I pull out the camera. As you will be able to tell by the photos, she sticks her tongue out more than smile. Sandra was in town to stay with us while Phil is in Texas. She witnessed Reagan's boycott of the camera. Hopefully she will outgrow this dislike.

Reagan received her first set of vaccines. Boy did she howl and I was very unsympathetic, I laughed. =) I don't think she appreciated my reaction. She has started outgrowing some of her 0-3 months clothes (mostly pjs), I can't believe it. She is getting long. She weighed 10 lbs 6 oz (25%), 23 inches (50%) & head is at 90% (which explains why she was being difficult during labor, she is a big headed baby).

Reagan is growing like a weed. I can't believe how big she has gotten. Her new talent is making bubbles. Thankfully she has been sleeping through the night, last night she slept 9 1/2 hours, yipee!! She still fights taking a solid nap during the day. Check the above link for all the pictures. Here are a few to get you started.....

Reagan's week of fun

http://picasaweb.google.com/filbennett/Reagan6Weeks#

Grandma was in town this week and Reagan was on the go the whole time. She had her first winery tour (she definitely is a Hood), she went to the Wild Animal Park, cheered on Notre Dame, went to the pumpkin patch and had her first shopping spree. She got hooked up at the outlets and the mall. She has outfits for everyday of the Holiday season and she now can go to all the holidays parties without wearing the same outfit twice. She may even have to change outfits throughout the parties to wear all her goods that she now has. =) Enjoy the photos......
