Aquatica, The Park and More!

Yesterday we went to Aquatica for the first time this season. We went last year too and her favorite then was the Wave Pool. I would lean her back in her life jacket and sometimes the waves would put her to sleep. This year it was clear she didn't remember much from last year and she had some issues with the Wave Pool this time around - no more lounging on her back. She did have fun going down the baby slides in the baby pool and would 'weeee' the whole way down. After some lunch in the parking lot (good cost savings measure!), we went back into the park for more fun.  It was a very fun day with very good friends!







Last weekend we went to Trotwood Park with some other good friends - LeeAnn, her husband Brian and their gorgeous babies.  It was a new park for all of us but we all agreed it is a really great park.  The kids ran around and climbed and swung and wore themselves out before we all went out to lunch.  It was so great to see them and now that Reagan can actually play with Rylie we plan to get together more often.

Reagan zonked out by the time we got home

When we aren't at Aquatica or the park, we let Reagan play in her little plastic pool on the front porch.  She loves to coax Lily into the pool with her and belly laughs when Lily complies.  She gets to play in her own little pool just about every afternoon.




This is going to be a really fun summer!!

How She Got Her Name

The first part of this post will be sad but the sad part is necessary to get to how she got her name. I have two older sisters – the oldest has 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls, and the middle has 2 children, 1 boy and 1 girl. I was beyond happy and excited as each of my nieces and nephews entered this world and I am close to all of them. I bestowed on each of them my own special nickname and frequently call them by those nicknames – in public.And the kids don’t mind! In order of birth they are, Beaner, Super Chunk, Peanut, Minnie-Me, Kaboom and Goat-Butt. With a tiny bit of training (LOL), if you ever ask any of them who their favorite person in the world is, they will tell you Aunt Dawn. That may not actually be the truth, but they’ve been coached well. They are all growing up now and making their way towards adulthood but the special and close relationship I have to all of them has only grown deeper with each new year. In April 2008, the worst possible thing to ever happen to our fami...

To Paci...Or Not To Paci

Image
It is no secret to those close to me that I have issues with the paci.  My issue you ask?  I really don't want to ever have to take Reagan's paci away.  As I've mentioned before, I actually remember the trauma of giving mine up - to Santa Claus no less (and I almost opted out of presents that year just so I could keep it!).  I remember arguing with my sister when she took the paci away from my oldest nephew and I stated - no baby should ever have to give up their paci.  I've joked with my friends that Reagan could keep her paci until college if she wanted and part of me actually meant it. But, her teeth are now showing evidence of being on the paci too long.  I *thought* that it wouldn't become a teeth issue if she only had it at nap and night time.  Apparently I am wrong about that.  So, here I am breaking my own heart over a paci.  LOL  I say my own heart because I am well aware of my issues and fully realize that I am probably more ...

Psssssst.....Wanna hear a secret?

So I have a secret.  A secret I've had since November.  It's a pretty awesome secret too.  A few people knew about the secret but not yet "the world".  Keeping secrets is fun and frustrating at the same time.  Thankfully something happened today and I don't have to keep the secret anymore. I am sure that some people might have a few guesses by now.  Probably had a guess or two just from reading the post title.  Some may even be right but probably more are wrong than are right.  But the ones that are wrong are most likely close, very close.  This secret is so AWESOME and so perfect and I can't even believe how lucky we are.  I am sure that by now y'all are thinking out with it already!  So okay, out with it.  I just wanted a little extra build up to fill the post preview. :-) Back in November we got a phone call from Reagan's birth parents.  They informed us they were expecting another baby due in May and that they want...
