Reagan sleep

Last night was the first night of turning off the baby monitor and letting Reagan cry herself back to sleep. It was pretty good except that we did hear her and we woke up twice. Once she woke Nathan and he wanted us to go get her. Hopefully 2 more nights and she will be sleeping all night. She was just not settling even when I would nurse her she wanted me to walk her and rock her back to sleep, while this is not a bad thing, by 7 months mommy needs to get back to getting decent sleep. Plus waking up every two hours does not make for a happy mom in the morning!!

Visitor

This morning Nathan was upstairs and started shouting for us to, "Come look out the window. Hurry come upstairs!! There's a deer in the back field!!" So the girls ran upstairs and I went out back with my camera in hand. When I opened the door all the dove, that were eating their breakfast of sunflower seeds, flew off. That drew the attention of the deer. When I looked through the opening between the gate and the fence, there it was. It was a BIG one and I think it was a male it looked like there may be the beginnings of antlers. Good morning!

Another one done

I finished another quilt this one was going to bed for Reagan's crib, however it was too big and then I did not like it, but now it is my favorite (everyone I do becomes my new favorite). There is no real purpose for this quilt, I think we are just going to let the girls use it to play with, with their dolls, pretend tea parties, etc... I have been using it to lay Reagan on when I am outside working. The bonus was that it was REALLY easy!

...And She's OFF!!

So I posted that on June 16 Reagan pulled herself up for the first time, well on June 21 she decided it was time to crawl her way up the stairs!! This girl is going to be trouble! (and she is pretty good too!)

for you...

Mr Steve Spence, I have finally posted some new posts, I have "stopped quilting and more blogging" I hope that this is enough to get you through the next week or two. I will be posting more as time allows, but now I must get to more quilting!! ;)

It's Official....

I am not a dog person. We have been watching a neighbors dog, in our house, since Saturday and I am ready for Thursday! She is a good dog and well behaved, we have had to break some of her habits, jumping on the furniture. I am under the impression that she is treated more like a child than a dog and I am not that kind of person. She will follow me everywhere, and I am a solitary kind of person, not much for having a dog at my heals. That is why I like cats!! She is a Havanese, a little dog, kind of prissy. The past two night she has barked when we put her in her crate, thankfully she has a crate. Last night she started barking at 4 AM, then I had to get up with Reagan, so I was pretty much up at 4 this morning. Anyway just needed to vent, hello all!!

Reagan's new trick...

Reagan is 6 months old and will sit, but is still wobbly. We can not just sit her down and walk away. Well, She has been pulling up on my hands for months and today she finally crawled her way over to the step stool and pulled her self up. I am not ok with this as she is too wobbbly and not developed enough for this to be a very wise move on her part. Plus I want her to stay a baby forever! I know just trying to keep up... I do see her as one that will skip crawling and go straight for walking. She hates to sit and play she wants to be moving ALL of the time. Her cuddling days are OVER!
