"Tonight's gonna be a good night"

Last week, the Black Eyed Peas rolled into town and I was lucky enough to see their concert with a great group of girls!

We headed to Star Bar for appetizers beforehand and then hit the concert just in time to see LMFAO, Ludacris and the BEP's all perform.

What an amazing show- I was struck by the gratitude of the BEPs- after almost every song they thanked us, the fans- for supporting their dreams. It was the first time I had ever experienced that at a major concert. It was very endearing.

And we danced and danced until it was time to pull off the heels and call it a night.

22 Weeks and growing...

Today, peanut is 22 weeks and growing!

This week brings... holding her bottle all by herself, loves playing peek-a-boo, and is very vocal~ cooing and talking! She definitely loves anything and everything that has to do with music. She must get this trait from Andy as I am tone-deaf and dogs howl when I sing in the shower.

She got an early Easter basket from Gramma K. with a bunny that plays music and it's her new favorite 'item of the week.' But look out- when the music stops, Reagan will look at you with those big blue eyes as if saying, 'um...let's get this music started!' :)

This week we are going to try green beans and see if she likes those better than the squash. She is still not overly excited about her cereal so mama has to get creative! Here are a few pics from the week:
Her new friend 'Snuffy'~






Until next week! xo

21 Weeks and growing...

Today Reagan is 21 weeks and growing!

This week brings....reaching and veggies. NOT to be confused with reaching for veggies. Um, that would be a negative. You see, veggies do not equate to a bottle and therefore my child has no interest. It'll come, I know- for now we try a few spoonfuls a night and spend an hour in the bath tub rinsing squash from behind the ears. :)

She loves to reach out for her favorite toy, daddy's IPhone, and I could swear she was reaching out for me yesterday. Coulda been a fluke but I'll take it. She finished up her round of antibiotics and is back to sleeping through the night. Can I get an AMEN?!

I can't believe she'll be 5 months old on Saturday! Here are some pics from the week:

Happily playing with toys, oblivious of the spoonful of veggies coming her way...
"Uh oh, mom took the dice away..."

"I'll try anything once..."

"Okay, anyone know where my bottle is hiding?!"



Loves Daddy's new app- barnyard animal noises!

Until next week! xo

Road Trip

It's that time of year... March Madness, Andy's annual poker night with the guys, and an excuse for peanut and I to hit the road to go visit G&G Kollenkark!

We loaded the car with burp cloths and bibs galore and set out through the crazy ice/snow storm on Friday. Luckily the roads were fine and we had a great weekend!

Reagan got to play with her cousins, be enamored by Precious (the family pooch), got to visit Great-Grandma and get lots of lovin from G&G K!

Visiting Great-Grandma:



Chillin w/ Grampa:

All tuckered out:

Hope everyone had a great weekend! xo

The future's so bright...

We gotta wear shades!


Reagan loves sportin her new shades! This will last all of one minute until she promptly realizes she can fit them into her mouth and that they make a great teething tool.

I don't have Brooke Shield's bank account-

But I sure do want her eye lashes!

Have you seen her in those Latisse commercials offering dramatically gorgeous eyelashes for the mere price of thousands of dollars? Okay, I'm sure it's not thousands, but even at hundreds, I can't afford it!


So I did some research and discovered that L'Oreal actually came out with a boosting lash serum. I decided to give it a try. Not sure if it's placebo affect or not but after 3 weeks, I am noticing a difference in my lashes. Without breaking the bank.
