Big News!!  Reagan is offically a walker!!!!  She took her first few steps Sunday March 22nd with Grandpa Mike’s help.  By the following Sunday, she would run to me.  She does a combination of walking and crawling and is getting better at it.  We’re so excited for our little girl!

Mary and Reagan just spent the week in sunny San Diego visiting family and friends.  It was quite fun! We got there Saturday afternoon and spent the afternoon and evening with Grandma and Grandpa along with Uncle John and Aunt Jess.  On Sunday Grandma hosted a get-together that included all kinds of family.  Reagan just loved to play with Keira who seemed to enjoy her just as much.  Reagan was also enthralled with Baby Aaron and wanted to touch him and look at him constantly.  Reagan was also fascinated by her second cousin, Nick and would just stare at him for as long as we’d let her!

On Monday she and I went to Grandma Pat’s office where she was just a ham for everyone.  We went to lunch and then she and I went to visit Gaile, Keira and Aaron.  The girls had a blast playing and laughing together.  There were like sisters.  That day we were able to record Reagan taking some steps and sent that via phone to her Daddy so he could see.  On Tuesday we went to Grandpa Mike’s office and out to lunch with him.  She wasn’t so much of a ham that day but seemed to enjoy the restaurant.  She’s really eating solids well and will eat almost anything you put in front of her.  On Wednesday it was Uncle John’s turn where we enjoyed lunch with him.

On Thursday we celebrated Grandpa Mike’s 60th birthday with an afternoon of family time going through old photos and eating a wonderful dinner and cake afterwards.  On Friday we went to Uncle John’s and Aunt Jess’s place for yummy dinner.  We also took photos of the grandkids together and it was quite cute.  Reagan is a bit pushy and kept pushing Aaron out of her way.

On Saturday Grandpa, Grandma, Reagan and I went to Orange, Ca. to visit the Contis.  Their son Joey is 6 days younger than Reagan! We met up at a restaurant where the kids sat side by side in separate high chairs.  They seemed to like each other although Reagan kept taking Joey’s toys away from him.  Later at the house Reagan kept pushing and poking poor Joey.  She’s so rough!  But so cute, it’s hard to get upset with her.  Joey’s dad and grandparents watched the babies while Alex and I went out for some grown-up time at dinner.  Reagan gave them a hard time as she was pretty inconsolable and wouldn’t go to sleep.  In fact she had a hard time sleeping during the whole week and slept in the twin bed with me many nights.

We flew back yesterday morning and she was great on the plane both ways.  She slept most of the way both times and would just talk to everyone.  Her Daddy was so excited to see her yesterday and surprised by her new abilities.  He kept saying that she’s gotten so big!  I will hopefully get to posting pictures tonight.
