Man on the move.....

This little guy....

IS WALKING!!!

He took five or so steps the night before Raegan was born when Aunt Julie was here. Since then he has slowly gotten braver and braver.... and now is going room to room!

He is unstoppable now!!! I hope to capture more action shots soon!!

One month

Yes, Raegan is just as surprised as you are!! She is one month old....

Raegan still has quite a bit of dark hair, kind of long in the back a little! She has a dimple on her left cheek that you can see in the last picture. And her eyes although very dark, look to have a slight blue tint to them, almost a slate color. It will be interesting to see what color they turn out to be!

Raegan is still trying to figure out how to sleep, and how to try to put herself to sleep. She just gets very very angry when she is tired for now. We are still working on getting any sort of routine, and working on sleeping in her bed, instead of on mom or in her swing or car seat. It will take some time, but as we aproach six weeks old, we hope to have a better system down!

What a fun, crazy, happy, frustrating, trying, chaotic, busy, and blessed month it has been! Oh yeah, sleepless, did I mention sleepless too? Here is to many many more (well not the sleepless part)!!!

Little Hawkeye butt!

Kind of blurry, but this guys is on the move too much!! He is just too cute in this outfit!!

My #1 helper!!!

This is my BIGGEST helper!!! I honestly don't know what I would do without her.... Poor girl---do this, do that, can you get me a diaper, can you get me the wipes, can you get me that burp rag, where is Jamison, what is Jamison doing, go close this door or that door, hand me the remote---she has done it ALL!! She is the best big sister I could ask for for Jamison and Raegan. Not only does she do this, she gives them hugs and kisses, tells them it will all be ok when they are upset, and looks after them! Mommy couldn't do it without her!!!

What a great big sister!!

Back-up has arrived!!

Just when mom was about to go bazerk...back up arrived, and not just any back up---our UNCLES from IOWA!!!

Uncle Jonny, Uncle Jeffy, and Kate (Jon's girlfriend) braved a trip to Tulsa for the weekend, and boy are we glad they did!!!

We played candyland, memory, did puzzles, went swimming, played whatever other made up games Brooklyn wanted, Brooklyn got to play on their cell phones, they picked up and cuddled with Jamison (again Jamison looking for anyone to pick him up, and he will CUDDLE with anyone!!) and even cooked so mom wouldn't have to, went to the grocery store so mom wouldn't have to, Jonny did the dishes, and we went and got ice cream! What a weekend!!!

They wore us out!! Really they did, Brooklyn actually took a nap that afternoon....
And Jamison just couldn't make it through dinner he was so pooped!!

What a fun fun weekend!! We hope they come back soon!

My view...

This is my view from the front of the van! What a good group to haul around!! I love turning around and looking at them staring at me, and every time good ol' Jamison gives me a smile! I love that!! So thankful I have the mighty fine mini van to haul these troops around in!!

A little brother and sisterly love....

Pictures Pictures Pictures

Mom has a great friend at work, Jil Gaylor, who was so gracious to come over to the house to take pictures of Raegan and her big sister and big brother, and us as a new family of five. If you couldn't tell by the number of pictures I now have plastered all over the blog, I am IN LOVE WITH THEM!!! She did a great job, and I just can't get over how cute these little guys are!!

If you are in the Tulsa area, PLEASE contact Jil, she is AWESOME!

I will post some more pics here and there, I don't want to overwhelm you with posting them all at once...but you never know... I get pretty anxious.....

Here is one of my favorites of Raegan....

Blankets

Brooklyn and Jamison have the same baby blanket in different colors---Brooklyn in Pink and Jamison in Blue... so now to find one for Raegan. I spend many hours before the baby was born looking for a Yellow or Green one that I liked...but didn't get it done. So once Raegan was born, knowing it was a girl, it only took about 10 minutes to find a purple one! Don't ask me why it was so important, but it was! So now mom is happy!
