Pink Polka Dots!

Grandma Johnson got Reagan the cutest dress ever. She looked like a doll at church. I am in love with our little daughter... It was so cute, there was a little girl about 1 1/2 years old sitting in front of us at church banging on the chairs in the back of the chapel and Reagan was staring at her all of sacrament meeting. Whenever the little girl would look at Reagan... Reagan would get the biggest smile on her face. It was adorable... I swear Reagan wanted to jump off my lap and play with her... I can just see it now...pretty soon its going to be her banging on the chairs in sacrament meeting. ha ha

Auntie Sophia comes to visit

We had so much fun with Sophia here. Reagan loved her. While she was here Reagan started smiling more and she even started cooing and baby talk... I'm excited Reagan is getting into the "fun stage". While Sophia was here we did a lot... We went to a concert by the river in San Marcos to watch a bunch of county singers perform under the stars. We took a day and went to San Antonio, she and Gabe went Shooting. We went to the Salt Grass (our favorite Steak house) and of course we went shopping at the famous La Cantera and outlet malls. Sophia is the first on Gabe's side of the family to meet our little Reagan and we are so glad she came.

Happy Fathers Day!!!!

Today was Gabe's first Fathers day! I am so proud of the father that he already is. You can just tell that Reagan loves him so much. Whenever Gabe holds her she gets the biggest smile on her face. Its so cute how she already has Daddy wrapped around her tiny little finger. Reagan and I are so lucky to have him in our lives.... he has one of the sweetest and strongest testimonies of our Savior that i know. I'm sure that Gabe is going to teach her so much and Reagan is going to look up to him as one of her greatest examples.

Daddy Bladh~ 365 days after I was born... my little brother Nathan was born so I didn't have much time to be the baby of the family... so my dad took it upon himself to hold me and play with me.... There are so many pictures that i have of me sitting on daddy's lap..... I love my dad so much... when I think of the word charity I automatically think of him... he is such a selfless person ... he is always thinking of others and would take the shirt off his back for anyone. he is a great man.... and definitely one of my biggest hero's....

Daddy Johnson! Gabe's dad is such a wonderful man. I am so lucky to have married into such a great family... Gabe looks up to his father so much and has so many great memories of him as they grew up. Anyone who knows Gary would know that he would do anything for his family. The great qualities that Gabe has now of being hard working, goal oriented and self motivated are things that he learned from his father. Gabe has so much love and respect for him. HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Who does she look like????

Does Reagan look like Mommy????

or... Does Reagan look like Daddy???

Our first family picture

Family BBQ

We decided to start a little family tradition since we have been here in Texas. Since we cant continue the tradition of eating dinner at my parents house on Sundays ...Gabe and I decided that we are going to have a BBQ every Sunday. So this Sunday we went down by the pool side of our apartment complex for our BBQ and we put Reagan in her cute little polka dot bathing suit that Auntie April got her and the sunglasses that Auntie Sophia got her. (she is so spoiled by her Aunties) She looked so adorable. Thanks April and Sophia!

How can you take this face seriously?!?!?!

Reagan makes the cutest faces... but i think that her sad face has to be one of her cutest. It is so dramatic it's funny. She honestly doesn't cry that often... she actually pouts and whimpers, and its just to let us know that shes not happy about something... most of the time its because she wants us to pay more attention to her. It's so hard for me not to laugh or smile when she starts to whimper and puts on her sad face. I know I shouldn't... but I cant help it... just look at that face... she is just too adorable.

Reagan goes to the Doctors

Reagan went to her one month doctor apt and she has grown so much. I cant believe it! The doctor measured her and said that she has grown 2 inches... so she is now 19" long. She has also gained a bunch of weight, she is now 7lbs. My little baby is growing up. she is still so tiny though. She is in the 2nd percentile for her age. Anyways the doctor who saw Reagan said that she has never seen a newborn so alert and attentive. She told us that it is probably a sign of things to come. oh no! I guess we need to prepare ourselves to have one active girl.

Our first family outting!

Last night Gabe, Reagan and i went to "THE GROVE" here in Austin... we had so much fun. The Grove is a large outdoor shopping center ... but every friday night during the summer they put on an outdoor concert in the middle of a grove of trees... They had a local rock band playing and there were sooo many families sitting on blankets and lawn chairs across the grass.. they even have a fountain in the middle of the grove that a ton of kids in their bathing suits were running and playing through... it was a very fun atmosphere. Reagan was so good... she loved listening to the music, and being held by mommy and daddy. We sat on top of a hill against a tree and had a real fun time on our first family outting in Austin.....  

Reagans first week at church

Today we went to church here in Austin for the first time. We put Reagan in her cute little red preemie dress and headed out the door. We actually got lost on the way to church and didnt get there till the end. Oops! But we had a bunch of people in the ward introduce themselves. We are so excited for this ward. They all seem so friendly. It looks as if Reagan will have plenty of friends in the ward to play with.... there are a bunch of little kids, even a few newborns. Anyways today was a good day.

Our little Angel

Reagans first bath

Reagan turned one week old today and her umbilical cord fell off. So... The tradition continues.... Grandma Bladh was so excited to give her her first bath in the sink.... we went to Grandmas house and Grandma had everything all set up and ready to go.... Reagan didnt know what to think at first... she started to cry when she was put in the water... but after a minute her cries turned into whimpers and then they slowly turned into sighs when she realised that she was really enjoying her bath... once she figured that out she was so cute.... she kept sighing, letting us know just how much she loved her bath. (what a relief for mommy.) Reagan has been such a good baby... we are so blessed.... it just keeps getting better and better.

Anyways Grandma Bladh kept the tradition alive and sang "Bubble Toes" as im sure i will some day when i have grandkids of my own.... when Reagan was all clean Grandma took her out of the sink and wraped her up in a big fluffy towel... and Reagan was now crying because she was sad her bath was over.... its so fun to see her personality slowly start to unfold... to start to get to know her likes and dislikes.... im so glad that a bath is something she enjoys!

Here she comes...

HERE SHE IS!Gabe got home from being gone for three months and Reagan must have known it... for about a week i have been begging her to wait until Daddy got home before she decided to come into the world... and i guess she listened. But as soon as Gabe got here she couldn't wait to get out. i went into labor at 1am... but actually didn't know it... i thought it was false labor... i was not able to fall asleep, so I just did a few things around the house while Gabe slept. At around 7:00 am i decided that maybe I should stop by the hospital so I woke up Gabe and by the time i got there they said I was already 8cm and they couldn't believe i had just came in... I guess it wasn't false labor after all! After we got there it wasn't much longer until we finally met little Reagan. I had no idea that having a baby would be such an amazing experience. And actually surprisingly very easy. I told Gabe that I'm ready for our next one... he just laughed at me. But after seeing how cute little Reagan is... how can anyone not want a whole dozen of them. We are so excited to be new parents... I'm sure we are going to learn so much and like everyone says... Our lives will never be the same.

Reagan...Day One

Reagan Kay Johnson

We cant believe that she is finally here. She is more beautiful than we ever imagined. Reagan was born May 4th 2009 at 12:20 pm ...she weighs 5 lbs 11 oz and is only 17 inches long. She is so small. Gabe and i still cant believe that she is ours. When she was born, she came out smiling. and she has been smiling ever since. so far she is so happy. I know, I know, its only the second day... but heres hoping. She has brown hair and (so far) blue eyes, she even has dimples!

She seriously can't be any cuter.
