Regina: Month Eleven

It's so hard to believe it's been eleven months of Regina Joy.  Wow.

She continues to amaze us, entertain us and make us laugh.

Stats: (No well baby visit this month. Some of these are estimates/guesstimates.)

Weight: According to Carol's postage scale down at the ballpark, Regina's weighing in at approximately 22 lbs.  She'd be expensive to ship.  I guess we'll keep her!

Length: She proving to be too wiggly to measure at home.  Suffice it to say:  she's tall.  She's already outgrown many of her 12 month pants.  They are a bit too short.

Head circumference: Still big.  Now sporting many bumps and bruises.  Walking/falling related injuries ya know?

Hair: Not much change.  Same for me being disgruntled about my second virtually bald baby girl.  Woe is me.

Eyes: Still green....ish.

She mastered walking this month.  Her feet now want to run, but her body can't quite keep up.  She's talking more, and eating almost everything we eat.  I can't tell you how nice that is.  Caroline is such a picky eater, it's a refreshing change to have a kid who will joyfully eat anything and everything.  We continue to take swim lessons, and she continues to love them.  She also enjoys walking around the ballpark, well, she enjoys walking ANYWHERE.  It's going to be a long summer of chasing her.

Spaghetti continues to be a favorite meal  It also guarantees her a post-dinner tubby.

After Momma kicked some of Daddy's beer out of the refrigerator, she decided to take her own inventory.

She discovered Sesame Street this month.  She and several of her rubber ducks visit frequently.

While sitting in the car with Grammy on a cold, rainy day at Drew's baseball game.

Swinging while waiting for her kids to come home from school continues to be a fun way to spend the afternoon.

She discovered the slide in the backyard.  She was a bit nervous at first, but found it to be tons of fun.

Squishy faces aplenty!

 

She saw her sister receive her First Holy Communion.  Actually, she slept on Uncle Alan through most of it.

 

Her affinity for silly head gear took an interesting twist this month. 

 

She enjoyed Gabe's Miracle League baseball game.

Could she look any more like her Dad?  Jeesh.

Remember the duck she hated on Easter Sunday?  Well, they've made amends.  The duck is now very funny.

And gets lots of kisses.

She discovered grass, and didn't care for it at first.  Here she inspects it without setting foot in it.

She eventually got brave enough to walk in it, but absolutely would not sit in it.  She's quite the proficient squatter.

Hey!  Grass is actually kind of fun!

Driving the older kids here, there and everywhere can be exhausting.  I wholeheartedly agree.  Darn brats have yet to leave me a tip for all the chauffeuring I provide them.

She discovered Sesame Street on television as well.  This was an epic discovery.

We must have rewound one song about five times.  She was very serious about the whole experience.

She hung out at the ballpark.

She slept through Gabe's reign of terror pushing her around the ballpark one evening.  It took a couple days for my blood pressure to return to normal levels.

She met Steamer.  She was unimpressed.

She and Daddy watched Drew's baseball game.

She helped out down at daddy's office.

She is such a fun little girl.  She's so smart and so fearless.  The older kids adore her, and she's reminded Rob and I just how much fun and wonderful it is to have a Little Egan again.  She's a perfect final addition  to our family.
