Birthday Wrap Up

Reagan's Birthday Party and One Year Check Up

We had Reagan's birthday party last saturday.  Her Keffer grandparents and Herndon great grandparents came to town from Ohio and her Auntie Anne and Auntie Andrea came from New York.  We had about 40 people at our house for burgers, dogs, adult beverages and cupcakes!  Overall, I think the party was a success.

The night before her party, Reagan got to spend some time with her Ohio relatives and got a whole bunch of gifts from them, including her first TOMS, which she clearly loved!

Some quality time with her Grandma K. and Grandpa Great before her party.

Ready to party!

We were also celebrating her Gram and Papa Bobby's engagement that day!

After some good food and a nap for Reagan, it was finally time to sing to the birthday girl for the very first time!  I thought I was going to lose it in the middle - her turning one was so bittersweet for me!

She wasn't too sure about the cupcake or the 40 people staring at her at first.

But she eventually caught on with a fist full of cupcake!

She made a good mess just like she was supposed to and loved it!

Reagan got so many beautiful new clothes, toys and books and our friend Jill made her this amazing poncho!

One Year Check Up

Ben and I took Reagan to her one year check up on Tuesday.  No wonder her appetite has been HUGE because the girl had a major growth spurt!  She grew 3 inches in 3 months and gained less than 2 pounds.  She is now 30 inches tall and weighs 22 lbs 4oz.  She's in the 75th percentile for height and weight so she's proportionate.  Her head size was in the 90th percentile - down from off the charts last time so she's grown into her head a little more.  

The doctor said she looked great and healthy and is developing well (of course!).  She said mom and dad did good in getting her weaned off her bottle!  Next up would be the pacifier (more to come on that).

Reagan's birthday gift from the doctor was not as fun as the others she got - 3 shots and blood work in her arm.  She was very brave though and got over the trauma quickly!
