Light the Night 2008

This is a collage of the photos from the Light the Night Walk in Atlanta that Chris and I went to in support of our bestest friends Kerri Stephenson and her husband Ben. It was an amazing night with some of the greatest friends. It was a wonderful night and would not have missed it for anything. Love you KJS!

3 months old close up

My close up!

3 months old

SO technically I am two days shy of 3 months but mom had me dressed up all pretty today so I thought I would have her take my 3 month photo. I am getting so big now. I am probably a little over 11 lbs and over 24 inches long. I love to smile, laugh, and talk. I also have learned to play and grab my toys. I am trying to figure out how to get my toes and it makes mommy laugh watching me try. I am sleeping (usually) about 7 to 9 hour stretches at night which makes mom and dad very happy. Som days I nap well, some days I don't, but I am learning. I am looking forward to my first halloween, and thanksgiving, and of course my first Christmas. I am also getting baptised at Chapin United Methodist Church on November 23rd. So exciting.

Am I a bad Mom?

So I am feeling so frustrated today and feeling so guilty that I am actually looking forward to work tonight because it means a few hours away from Raegan. She is having a tough day and not napping and not really happy in my arms either, so I am out of things to try except letting her cry, which is soooo hard to do and hurts me to hear but, I don't know what else to do. It is frustrating because some days she does so well and goes down for her naps easily and takes 3 to 4 naps including at least one longer 2 hour nap, then there are days like today where she has not taken longer than a 30 minute nap and that is after fighting it for 30 minutes. So any ideas, or suggestions from you veteran moms, please let me know. Am I a bad mom for wanting to get away from it for a few hours? Am I doing something wrong? Will it ever get better?

Went to picnic with daddy

Mommy went to work so daddy took me to a cookout at the park with the family's from the soccer team he is now coaching. Had a great time and love my time with daddy.

Sleepy bath time

So Raegan loves bath time now and it always gets her ready for bed time. Well she was really fussy and tired and ready for bed so we were doing a quick bath and during the middle of her shampoo....I look down and she is sleeping, no not just shut my eyes and relax sleep, she was completely out. So I quickly ran to get my camera to take a picture and laughed. She probably was sleeping for a good 5 minutes like that before I took her out. I continued to run warm water over her belly, but she never moved. How cute is that!

10 week old beauty

SO I just couldn't help showing off my little girl. This was last week and she is so adorable I can't stand it!

Raegan's first tailgate

So Chris and I took 10 week old Raegan to her first tailgate. It was USC vs Wofford and the weather was perfect. We didn't make it to the game, just the tailgate and she was an angel. She met Kerri and Ben, which was her favorite part! The original tailgate crew was all present and it was a wondeful day all around.
