Reagan had her one-year check-up today with her pediatrician.  She weighs 21 lbs 9 oz and is 29.75 inches tall.  She was quite talkative and playful, until she got her shots.  She got five shots and had her finger pricked to test for anemia (she’s fine.)  She’ll be staying home with Dad today for comforting.

Happy Birthday baby girl!!  Reagan turned 1 on Friday.  What a fun year it has been with her.  We’ve enjoyed watching her grow and change.  We look forward to many more birthdays with her!  We had all kinds of family in town to celebrate: All of the Creans came up from San Diego.  Nana Sherill and Parker came from Tennessee.  We all gathered at Nonna and Papa’s beautiful house and yard to celebrate and we had quite the turnout of friends who joined us along with other family members.  Reagan seemed to enjoy playing with other kids although she slept through the first hour of her party.  She got a lot of beautiful clothes and fun toys.  She got a toy box so now Mommy can finally get her room back!

On Sunday we joined the Creans to celebrate Uncle John’s birthday (it’s today by the way.)  We went to the fun candy store and had lunch.  Then to St. Helena to Beringer’s Winery for a tour and taste.  The Grandma and Grandpa went with John and Jess to V. Sattui while Mary went home and Daddy went back to Nonna and Papa’s (he had to work in Petaluma today.)  Michael and Gaile left to get a head start on their way home.   Last night we had dinner and played Clue.  What a way to end the fun weekend!

I finally got around to uploading recent photos.

Enjoy!

Nana Susan arrives tomorrow to play with Reagan and help us prepare for her birthday party that is this weekend. Mom is feeling a bit nostalgic over her baby girl turning 1 already! I clearly remember this time last year. Reagan has grown so much! She is enjoying day care and the kids there as much as they enjoy her. She’s talking and interacting so much more now. We’re very happy.

Ready to find eggs!

Happy Easter everyone!  We hope your holiday was as blessed as ours was.  Mike’s sister/Reagan’s Aunt Renee came to visit for the Easter holiday and arrived Thursday night pretty late.  She watched Reagan on Friday while Mary worked and Mike was out of town.  They had a great time together and Renee was impressed with Reagan’s personality and ability to walk so well.  I came home and we picked Mike up from the airport.  After some running around (including back home to get the pack n’ play I forgot) we got to Windsor around 10:30pm.  Their cousin Sabrina came with her husband Cory and their two sweet boys, Connor and Landon.  Some of you may remember Connor as the ring bearer at our wedding 5.5 years ago.

On Saturday we did family photos and then went to V. Sattui in St. Helena for some wine tasting and gourmet picnic.  We always j that place and I even got my family to love it.  Sunday was the annual egg hunt at Mike and Carol’s where the older kids had to find 200 eggs plus the coveted gold and silver egg.  Connor found the silver and Landon found the gold eggs respectively.  Reagan got to play with her buddy that is two weeks older and they hunted for some eggs as well.  She seemed to enjoy it! Overall it was a wonderful weekend with family and we look forward to the next get-together!

Reagan started at day care last week for the first four days.  She seemed to have a hard time adjusting as she had issues sleeping all week there and at home.  We thought she was getting a tooth as well, one of her molars but we’re not sure how much that contributed.  She’ll be there this week and then we’ll decide if she’ll keep going or if she’ll be home with Dad.  Mike’s business is really starting to pick up steam, so he doesn’t have as much time to spend with her.  Besides she needs the social interaction.  Mike is in Arizona, pre-fishing at Lake Roosevelt for the FLW Stren event that starts this Thursday.
