Regan-7 Months Old!

Regan is 7 months old.  She is such a sweet heart!

Here is what is going on with her these days:

weight…..16 pounds 11 ounces

heights…27 inches

• She is ALWAYS happy! 
• She can clap and wave.
• She moves backwards and spins around pretty well though.  We are really close to having our lives change even more.
• She has her two bottom teeth.  It seems as though she is working on the next ones.  The drooling has turned on full force in the last week.
• She has a bunch of new sounds but the ones you hear a lot are: Ah, Ma Ma, Da Da, and Hi.
• Her favorite thing to do is jump (still).  When ever you hold her, she wants to be standing on your lap jumping.  All you need to do is balance her but she does the jumping.  She actually bends her little legs and bounces.  When she needs a break, she sticks it. 
• She is eating all kinds of fruits and veggies.  She is not a fan of green beans.  I have to trick her to eat those.  She is eating breakfast and dinner now.
• She likes to be on her feet.
• She is sleeping pretty much the same. 
• She loves older kids.  She just laughs and has so much fun with them!
• Her hair is really coming in fast.  It is a very light brown.
• Her eyes are still blue.
• She picks up her arms for you to pick her up.
• She helps you get her dressed now.  She will push her arms through on her sleeves to put a shirt on and when you are taking it off, she will pull her arms down for you.
• She can officially get out of her Bumbo!  Sneaky little thing!

My world…

Regan’s cardiologist appt.

Regan had her 6 month check up with the cardiologist for the hole’s in her heart.  We learned today that she was born with three (not two).  Two have closed on their own but one remains.  Not the news we were hoping for but pretty good news.  The hold that remains is a VSD and it 1.7 mm.  The doctor said that these usually close by their 2nd birthday and even if it doesn’t close on it’s own, as of now, he wouldn’t do anything about it.  The picture below is where hers is located.  We pray this closes on it’s own.

Regan-6 Months Old-Happy Half Birthday!

Here is what is happening with Miss Regan these days:

• She can sit up on her own.  She still tips over every now and then but is pretty good at it.  When she is sitting up, she can put one arm down to balance herself and grab a toy with the other.
• Although she started belly laughing last month, she does it all the time now.  She thinks everything is funny!  She is always smiling.
• She LOVES tags, her shoes, sweatshirt strings, cell phones, and remotes.
• She has lost all of her hair.
• Her favorite thing to do is jump.  She loves the jumperoo and the walker.  She also wants to jump when she is standing on your lap.  She actually pushes off and pulls her feet up when she is in the air.
• She rolls where she wants to go.
• Those little hands work quite well now.  She grabs anything she wants. 
• She says Mama but don’t think she is connecting it yet.
• She puts her arms up when you go to pick her up.  
• She is only eating oatmeal and isn’t a big fan of it yet.  She is refusing to eat anything else.  She still loves her feet and puts them in her mouth whenever she can, along with everything else she gets her hands on.
• Her two bottom have been in for a couple weeks now. 
• She is still not sleeping well.  She goes to bed around 6:30 and wakes up about every 3 hours.  It’s as if there is an alarm clock in her belly waking her up.  She nurses and then goes right back to sleep.  She usually takes 2-3 naps a day (sometimes 4), depending on how long they are.  The naps range anywhere between and hour to two and a half hours. 
• She loves her brother and sister. 
• She really is a happy baby. We are blessed!
