GO VOLS!!!

We routed for our Tennessee Vols today, We got all dressed up and cute, and they ALMOST pulled it off, they ALMOST beat bama, ALMOST!! They ended up losing the game in the last seconds with a blocked field goal, daddy sure wasn't happy, but not all was lost. I sure did look cute in my orange and white!!

 

 

 

 

I Heart Pumpkins

I heart pumpkins, I really do, I love love love pumpkins and everything they represent. This past weekend Jeremy and I along with some friends took Reagan to a local pumpkin patch for some good old fall fun:-)) I think I was more excited than anyone. There is just something about fall and pumpkins and bales of hay and cornstalks and pumpkin bread and little babies dressed up in their pumpkin best that just gets my heart racing with excitement. We had a really good time, the weather was really nice, and we got some beautiful pictures of our little pumpkin! Enjoy!!

Happy 10 Months Baby Girl

Oh Reagan Avery, what are you up to these days now that you are 10 months old and only 2 months away from being ONE (GASP!! How is that possible??)
(PS... this is going to be a long one, since we accidently skipped right through 9 months, oops!!)

-Well, where to start, you weigh approximately 17 and some odd pounds, big girl.

-You are still wearing size three diapers.

-You still only have your 2 front teeth. I swear I keep checking for teeth in there, but they have yet to appear!!

-Your eating habits are starting to change. You are not a big fan of any textures, so finger foods are not your favorite. You are a big fan of squash this month, along with lots of yo baby yogurt. I try EVERY day to get you to eat finger foods (pasta spirals, green beans, puffs, cheerios, etc...) You are just not a fan yet. You will sometimes surprise me and eat them, but most of the time you just spit it out:-))

-YOU ARE WALKING, Yep, a few days before you turned 9 months, you decided that crawling was overrated, so you took a step here, as step there, and now, you are walking EVERYWHERE!!

-You went on your first vacation to Estes Park, Colorado in the past month, and had a grand time. You really did great, even on the LONG drive to and fro.

-You are developing the cutest personality. You are very independent in some ways, but still a mommas girl through and through. You play really well all by yourself, but also enjoy being around other babies. You smile ALOT, and laugh, You have started this funny thing where you will smile and shut your eyes at the same time, its the funniest thing I ever did see.

-You are FINALLY sleeping through the night, somewhat inconsistently at times, but at least we know you CAN do it. You were doing so well, and then we went on the trip to CO, and we got a little off schedule. But for the most part, you will sleep from 7:30 till around 4:30 or 5:00. You will cry and I will go and get you and bring you in our room, you will nurse, and then go back to sleep till around 6:30.

-You LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Maggie. Oh how I wish she felt the same. She is getting better, but you just cant seem to get enough of her. You torture her most of the time, climbing all over her, and you like to run over her and chase her around the house with your walker.

-You have starting showing a little bit of a temper when things do not go your way, which is funny, Not sure where that comes from:-)) You also do not like to be laughed at. If you do something and someone laughs, you really act like you get offended, which makes us laugh even more. Sorry baby!!

-When you get excited these days, your WHOLE body shivers with excitement, You can just feel the excitement radiate through your body.

-You smile with your eyes, you can look into your eyes and know what you are thinking without seeing the rest of your facial expression. And speaking of eyes, you have the most beautiful baby blues I have ever seen!!

-This past month you have had a few injuries, a few bloody mouths, bumped heads, etc. I guess that comes with this new found skill of getting around on two feet.

-You HATE to sleep, I swear, you would rather NEVER sleep, which makes mommy tired. You fight me on naps, I have no idea where you get all of your energy. It really amazes me.

-You are still loving your school, and you get to do so many fun things. Now that the weather is getting cooler, you get to play outside at school, which you love.

-Now that you have started walking, we finally broke down and bought you some new shoes. Your daddy picked out your first pair of tennis shoes, a pair of pink and white puma tennis shoes, they are Super cute!!

-You are now in a big girl car seat, and loving it. We decided that it was time to put you in a big girl car seat so you would be more comfortable. You do like it much better, but still are not thrilled to be strapped down or constrained EVER!!

-You bring so much joy to our lives. I cant even remember what life was like before you came around. We love you so much baby girl!! Happy 10 months, we are so blessed to have you in our lives!!
