Reagan-6 Months




Such a sweet baby, such a mellow disposition, loves Nugget, Camryn and all kids/babies. She is not quite sitting up on her own, but she is close. But she rolls around everywhere, back and front and does a sit up to her elbows to see what is going on around her. Not sleeping great and still hasn't loved her solid food. We'll be working on that after we move. We can't get enough of her. She is so happy and makes us all smile. I love that she has kept her blue eyes and she for sure has my hair and coloring.

For My Mom, Well Sisters Too

Ryan snuck pictures of me during my ballet class that I had he and the girls come to. I am actually grateful he took them even if I was a little embarrassed. I hardly have any pictures of me dancing even though it was such a huge part of my life. It was so fun to have Camryn and Ryan watch me. Camryn was so excited and Ryan has never seen me dance before. This was my second class in over 3 years and before that I think I took 3 classes. So it had been a long time. Although it did not feel the same as it used to, I had a blast.

Day to Day Stuff

We got to help throw a surprise 30th Birthday party for our good friend Lauren! We are going to miss these friends so much!
I was in charge of the cake. It was so fun to do and loved making the miniature banner. 
I took Camryn to her first dentist appt! And she did great. A perfect patient and no cavities! We were both happy about that. She just kept telling me I'll just tell the dentist I don't need shots in my teeth today. Apparently she didn't understand the scare tactic against not eating candy. 
While cleaning in the garage I set up this chair Grandma Brenda gave to us. And I was so happy to see that Reagan could sit in it that they were actually getting along!
Camryn's a bit obsessed with the mirror and just discovered how fun the front seat can be. She can entertain herself while I fed Reagan after picking up shoes in LA.
 I guess this is just the beginning of wanting earrings. She found these sticker ones and insisted on having them. How could you say no to that face?
Or this one! Although I would love if she would actually eat the food rather than spit it right back out. Guess we'll be waiting a little bit longer and then try again.

The Great Park

With our move on the horizon I am trying to take advantage of everything to do in Orange County. Then we will be in San Diego for a month and I will do the same there. Trying to make the most of everyday. I finally brought my camera out instead of my ghetto phone and I think I got some good pictures. 
 Riding the Carousal over and over bring a smile to this girl's face.
 Then we waited for our turn to go up on the big balloon. We tried once before to go but it was too full. Camryn was all about it and I was a little scared. I hate heights. But if it is free I will pretty much try anything. 
 The view from the top. I am sure on a clear day you can see the ocean, but we could only see as far as the buildings in Newport. 400 feet was high, but I have to say I was ok and Camryn thought she was on a ride a Disneyland!

The Last And Final Disney Post

Had enough? We'll me too...this is the last one. I am kinda sad though, my girls do so well here.  It was so nice to get out of the house to do something all day with my no nap girl. The first of my last trips was with my brother Chris and his family. Here Camryn is with her two cute cousins. Love that they are so close in age and enjoy the same things.

Hudson, Georgia, Camryn with Aurora

The only picture we got together. Hudson was way too into his new toy and Camryn wouldn't have anything to do with the camera. It was so fun to spend a day with this guy before their big move to the east coast. Luckily with our move we'll still see them quite a bit.
This is us on the monorail the last time into the park to meet my sister Amy, her kids and my grandma and her good friend.
My grandma Marilyn getting a picture of "the princess"-doesn't look to happy. She was sick of waiting for the princesses to come out. 
Happy again
And I was happy we finally got to have a picture of us girls on our last day there. Such a fun experience to have passes to go as often as you want and stay just for a little while. We sure are going to miss it! It was great ending it with such good family.

Grandma Date

With our move on the horizon Grandma Brenda is soaking up every chance of being with our two girls. She came up to watch Camryn in her dance class. 
 This is one of my favorite pictures of these too. No fake smiles here. Camryn loved showing off her grandma to her teacher and friends.
Then it was off to Disneyland! Grandma wanted to see first hand Camryn's love for the princesses and ride some rides too.
 But this was the highlight of the day. Usually you meet one princess at a time, but Camryn got special treatment-it was so awesome. Ariel had Belle come over with her. Then Belle walked back to her spot while holding Camryn's hand-she was in heaven.
 You never get to meet Mulan, but with the Chinese New Year coming up they had her out and about. Camryn was so excited. With this, she has met all of the princesses and got their autographs. 
 And Chip and Dale. She usually hates characters that have their faces covered, but for some reason these ones were ok.
A perfect day for the both of them and it was so nice having the extra help. We can't even talk about how hard it is going to be to leave these guys!

5 Months Old

There is nothing more that I love than a freshly bathed baby. While Camryn was still in the tub I took a minute to snap a few pictures of this sweet baby. Five months is so cute and she keeps getting more fun everyday. I love these pictures with the light behind her because you can see that she is going to be a little blondie and yes, she still has blue eyes. These pictures make me want to squeeze her!
