So much going on, so little time and space to tell it all! Mike is scaling back big time on fishing and focusing on his new business, fire sprinkler installation and back-flow inspections. He wants to be home more now that we have Reagan. With this economy being the way it is, it’s hard to get sponsors as well. It’s also hard for us to keep the house so we’re trying to work with the lender to modify our loan, but so far it’s been fruitless. We may be short-selling and down sizing to an apartment for the time being. You may be thinking, what about the dogs? We’re finding a home for them as we speak. Dixie was listed on a rescue site and we may have found a potential owner for her. We get to meet them this weekend. We’re still working on Rebel for now. It’ll be sad but for the better for both of them since we can’t spend the time with them like we used too.

I’m is still at Allstate and seem to be doing well. As the primary source of income, I’m doing everything I can to look good! Reagan is possibly starting day care in a week! Mike finds out Wednesday if he gets a job at Direct TV as an installer and if so, he starts training on March 9th and Reagan will be in day care. One of my friends and co-worker’s daughter has a licensed day care in her house. I chatted with her for quite a while tonight and it looks very promising. She’s seems pretty reasonable in pricing as well. Reagan will go Friday morning for a couple hours to do a test-run as well as let Mike get some hands-on work done on back-flows.

Speaking of Reagan, she’s crawling on her knees now on the carpet and still does a half-crawl, half-drag on the tile floor. She talks constantly! She’s really starting to communicate more and mimic and repeat what we say to her. She doesn’t miss a thing that’s going on around her either! She’s eating a lot more solid foods as well.

I’ll be shutting down the Babyhomepages site in the next couple months so be sure to bookmark this page for your updates!

Just a quick note to explain the recent update to the site. John is converting our babyhomepages.net site to this one for a couple reasons: one is save money on the fee and the other is to allow us to blog in one place versus two websites. Over the next couple of months, John will transfer the guestbook and pictures from Reagan’s site.

Reagan is quite mobile now and getting into everything! She’s started making fishy faces/kisses. Mommy uploaded some pictures from her camera from January. Nonna and Papa came this past Sunday to visit and brought Mommy’s camera that she had left at their house last month. Everyone enjoyed their visit and Papa video taped Reagan with their new camera. Reagan is so independent with her walker and will entertain herself around the house for quite some time, talking away.

Reagan started crawling tonight!! She doesn’t use her knees fully but does a spider monkey type of crawl with one knee down and one leg straight. It’s quite cute and comical. She’s getting very good at pulling herself up and walking along the walls now. Last night she pulled herself up in Mommy and Daddy’s room and was walking along their closet mirror doors. She was kissing herself in the mirror as well!

Nana Sherrill was visiting us last week and left yesterday morning. She was amazed at how big Reagan has gotten both in size and abilities. They enjoyed going to the park in the new stroller Nana bought for her as well as swinging at the park. Nana said then they arrived and she took Reagan out of the stroller and was putting her in to the swing, Reagan started clapping. It must have been quite cute! Reagan is starting to mimic our actions, especially if you show her with her hands. She’s very mobile and zooms around in her walker. She’s still not confident enough to walk with out holding on to something or some one. She won’t get into crawling position to crawl but she’s scooting around on her belly. This morning while Mommy is at work, Daddy said she walked across the tile floor from the front door to the kitchen, pushing a card board box! She got to the box her self and pulled her self up and then started walking on her own! Mommy wishes she could have seen that.

Reagan seems to have another cold. We’ll monitor it closely to make sure it’s nothing else. Nana caught the flu bug while she was here, poor thing.
