I know we tried to compare to see who Reagan looked like when she was younger... but now she is as old as we were when we had our baby pictures taken... so the age is a little more accurate.

*********************************************************REAGAN'S FIRST CHRISTMAS! *********************************************************

Oh my goodness this Christmas was so much fun. Reagan was so adorable. I LOVED IT. As soon as we came down the stairs and sat in front of the CHRISTMAS TREE, you could see the excitement in our little 7 month old eyes. usually she would get up and try to combat crawl as fast as she could to get to the item of her EXCITMENT... but this morning it was so adorable. We set Reagan smack in front of the Christmas tree and she just sat there and starred at the LIGHTS and mountain of presents and every once in awhile she would look back at me and say "uh...uh...uh".....as if to say "What is all of this????" then she saw it... sitting on the side of the tree was a beautiful ROCKING HORSE. Her eyes got really wide and as soon as she sat on it and it started moving and talking to her she knew it was alive. She started to get the same type of excitement that she gets when she sees a dog or a cat... Reagan held on to the mien so tight and hugged it. I think she has found her best friend... I love how excited she is about her rocking horse.

Reagan also got a bunch of TOYS, a few really cute outfits, an adorable pair of boots, her first purse complete with lip stick, jewelry, keys, mirror, and money... (its educational) but i think her favorite thing about Christmas was the WRAPPING PAPER. hahaha.... Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Johnson and Bladh and to all of Reagan's aunts and uncle for a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!

Baby Jesus

Every year at our Christmas party, the Nordstom side of the family has a live nativity. All the young children get to play all the roles. it doesn't feel like it was too long ago that i was up there myself acting out the role of Mary holding a doll as baby Jesus, or even dressing up all in white with a gold garland wrapped around my head as my halo, to play an angel with all the other kids that they didn't know what else to do with..... it seems so crazy that this year my own child got to be in the nativity. Reagan was given the role of baby Jesus to play.... i was actually terrified for her to play this role because she is always growling... i was scared she was going to growl and make baby Jesus look possessed. she was perfect. She did try climbing out of the manger a few times and even eating it as well, but other than that she did well. i was so proud. she was smiling so big... and whenever she saw me or daddy she would get so excited. she loved being the center of attention. In my opinion, this years Nativity was the best we have ever had.

Our Little Santa

April... my dear sweet sister....please help me edit these!

I figured I needed to take some pictures she will hate me for taking someday. you know, the ones that you show to her date as she is in her room finishing up getting ready. Every parent needs "blackmail" pictures... (right mom) hahaha... these are too cute. Reagan loved taking these and actually smiled the whole time and even cried when I put her diaper back on. I love my naked Santa!

Army Crawl

It is so much fun to watch Reagan progress everyday... She is not only rolling around everywhere but she figured out a way to go forward as well. It was so funny to see how mad she got when she saw a toy or even daddy's shoe in front of her and she didn't know how to move forward so she can shove it into her mouth. She finally figured out an Army Crawl.... Its Hilarious. when she figured out how to move forward she was so excited at her accomplishment that she would squeal and kick her arms and legs everywhere. But its been a few days now and she is getting frustrated again. This time its because she cant get to the toys fast enough... ha ha ha... I'm sure she will be crawling any day now.

Reagans LOVE for Dogs

Reagan LOVES dogs.... She gets so excited whenever she sees one... it doesn't matter if its a big dog or a tiny one she loves them....if she is given the chance she will roll after them and try to pet them and when she does she giggles with excitement. its adorable and so much fun!
