And she's off..........finally!

Regan can crawl!! Yep, that's right, she actually walked before she learned how to crawl. Nothing like making things confusing! She isn't perfect at either one, so now the question is: will she end up walking, or find that crawling is easier? We've been working on both tasks with her the last few days so we'll see which one she picks up faster!

Christmas time!

Regan helped mom and dad last weekend pick out the perfect Christmas tree! We're happy we went when it was still 50F outside, instead of 20F!

Santa Baby!

This is pretty self-explanatory!

Visit with Santa!!

We took Regan to see Santa at the mall last weekend! She didn't cry, but wasn't real sure of the man with a fuzzy face! This picture was absolutely precious. Next year I hope she can tell Santa what she wants for Christmas!

I'm busy!

Mom and dad caught Regan reading the paper last Friday! It was so adorable :) Unfortunately, her little fingers were full of black ink by the time she was finished!

Going for a ride!

Grandma Jan took Regan for her first wagon ride! Ok, so this wagon might be more on the "doll-size" end of things, but Regan didn't seem to mind!

My new rocking chair

Grandma Jan found this rocking chair in the basement from when mom was a little girl. It's going to be the perfect spot for reading stories!

Thanksgiving fun and our independent walker!!

Grandpa Leo took Regan for a walk around the house on Thanksgiving and somehow managed to get his arms all tangled up! She was in her glory despite grandpa's discomfort!

Regan also took her first steps alone on Thanksgiving! She was walking around with mom's help and suddenly found herself 3 steps away from mom without holding on! We were so proud of her. Can't wait for her to start walking more on her own (or can I?).

Stuck in the bucket!

Mom and dad had some fun playing with Regan the other day! She was so curious about this bucket we figured she might as well take a seat :) It was a tigh squeeze and not real easy to pull her out!

Regan and Uncle Shane

Mom and dad went on a well-deserved date night this weekend and Regan got to hang out with uncle Shane and aunt Amy for a few hours! By the looks of the pictures, we think they all had a great time!

9 months old today!

Regan is 9 months old today and still making us laugh everyday! She gives us big smiles every morning and it brightens the whole house. She still loves to walk around holding someone's hands and refuses to learn how to crawl; it's surprising that other crawling babies don't even phase her. Once she's up on her feet though, look out, her face lights up and she's off motoring around the house! We're really looking forward to the holidays this year, hopefully everyone's Christmas tree will stay in one piece!

Heirloom sweater

Grandpa Leo wore this sweater 56 years ago when he was just a little tyke himself! It fits Regan perfect, and she posed so nice for the camera!

Bad hair day

Regan had a little bit of a messy hair do after her nap the other day! We couldn't pass up the opportunity to catch this face on camera; obviously she wasn't happy with her picture being taken with bad hair!

Amanda's baby shower

Jen and I hosted a baby shower for Amanda today and the kids had lots of fun playing together! Jen's son, Nathan is a crawling machine (so Regan took a few notes) and Regan can walk all over with a little help (so Nathan took a few notes). Someday they'll both be running around and we'll wish they would sit still!

First shoulder ride!

Regan had her first shoulder ride last week and had the time of her life!
