Reagan @ 6 months old

Our favorite little lady is 6 months old!! Maybe it's because she is baby #2 but it just seems like she is growing so fast and is hardly a baby anymore. I always thought that I only wanted to have boys but I am so glad God gave us this sweet little girl.

Height: 24.5 in

Weight: 13 lbs 15 oz



Likes: Being held, sitting up, Bo, Bo's toys, water bottles, baths, being tickled, her doll, chewing on everything, paper, the dog, reading books, singing, watching Bo jump up and down, peekaboo, sleeping on her back, going outside, riding in the car, pulling hair, mommy, daddy, watching people, and being the center of attention



Dislikes: Getting her diaper changed, getting dressed, lying on the floor, scooting backwards when she wants to go forward, getting stuck, being alone in a room, napping, and sitting in her swing.



New Things: Had her first Thanksgiving and Christmas with Dean's family, started scooting backwards, rolling from her back to her tummy, getting her first tooth, first Christmas parade, craft fair trip with friends, tried sweet potatoes, started sitting up by herself.




Reagan loves Bo. It is so much fun to watch them start to play together. She loves to touch him and try to play with him. He loves to lay on her, sit on her, and tickle her. He is very observant and worries when she puts things in her mouth, especially his things. I know that will only get worse as she gets more mobile. She is always watching him and gives him the biggest smiles. It's so cute to see them interact and see him take care of her. Hopefully, they will stay best of friends.

   

She is such an easy going baby. As long as she is included, it doesn't matter what we do. She loves to be carried around and in the middle of everything. We love watching her experience and learn new things every day. I love to imagine what it will be like when she starts crawling, walking, and talking. We are so blessed and couldn't imagine life without her.

Resistance Band Arm Workout 1

This is my first try at a fitness video. It's purpose is just to give explanation on how to complete the exercise. It isn't a full workout. All the exercises can be done with a resistance band, free weights, or even canned goods. Complete 2 sets of 15 of each exercise.

A friend and I have been working out together since the beginning of November and I have been creating the workouts. We text each other each day after we finish to help keep each other accountable and motivated. I never thought that just a simple text or knowing that someone else is working out too would be so motivating for me. I know she is doing it so there is no excuse for me not too. Of course, I have those days where it would be easier just to skip. I can't expect her to do it if I won't. Honestly, I feel like I can get through the day better if I get to exercise. My energy level is better and my attitude is better. I can definitely tell a difference if I don't get to workout. Even for just 10 min. I am sure my children and husband appreciate a more patient, kind me. It is hard to get up early. Some days it is exhausting just trying to be quiet so I don't wake the kids up or hoping I can just get in a few more minutes before they do. But each day it is worth it. Each day I feel better about myself.

I am hoping to make and post more videos as we go through each month exercising. I would love to have you join me or follow along. If you want more information about my workouts or even want to use my workout calendar, I would love to share. I will be making some new things for January.
