FROM DUCKS TO DINOS...
My Mom and Dad know how important it is for me to hear and interact with music. They have me listening to all kinds of nursery rhyme variations and rhythm based songs. And, it just so happens that I have the funniest parents around. From ducks to dinos, my mom can make a song out of anything. And my dad...he gives me the moves. I think I like dancing. It always makes me smile. My favorite song is called Flies. It is a song all about how a frog eats his flies...fly a la mode sounds good. I like dancing to Swab the Deck. My arms move just right to that one as we "swab the deck clean."














I'm ready to sing and dance on my quilted mat.

MIRROR, MIRROR...
Who's the cutest boy of all? Reagan Gentry. Reagan is trying out his new toys. His ten week birthday brought him a new buzzing bug and an interactive mirror. Reagan has discovered his hands and has them in his mouth or holding onto things (like my shirt) most of the time. The doctor says his gums might be preping for teeth. WOW! It is hard to imagine the tooth phase right now. We are still enjoying the giggles...I'm not ready to trade them for tears.

HOOK UM HORNS...
My mom and dad were both Lumberjacks at SFASU, but I come from a long line of Longhorns. My Grandpa Taylor thought it was important that I get into the team spirit early. He doesn't want to see me in maroon.
Here I am in my new Bumbo seat. I am still working on holding my head up independently, but I am doing pretty good here. In the next picture you can see that I have had enough. Dad had to stop the pictures.

Reagan looks great in orange...and maroon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME...
Look who came to my party! All my jungle pals. I am 10 weeks old today. My Aunt Melissa came to play with me. We had fun and laughed outloud together while mommy ran to the store. She had to get me some new interactive toys. I have so much fun playing. She has to keep me interested. Friends and gifts...it was a great birthday.

OUT FOR A JOG...
Okay, we were just posing in our jogging suits, but soon we will be on the run. Reagan has 1 more week at home and then we will be on our way, exploring all that we have missed. Reagan wasn't so sure about the bright sunlight. He closed his eyes and squinted while we were outdoors. We can't wait to see everyone soon...















Mommy and me

LOOK WHAT I CAN DO...
Reagan is working hard each day. He is using his gross motor skills to bat at objects and is focusing more on objects. He loves to look at himself in the mirror. He just smiles at himself. We all smile at him too--he is a handsome little man. Reagan has also started to laugh. He laughed at his mama for the first time on Tuesday. She was singing silly songs. He is entertaining himself and us with lots of talking as well. Reagan is holding his head up as part of his work out in this picture. It is not his favorite thing to do. He would rather be on his back looking at the world around him.

...AND PUPPY DOG TAILS...
What are little boys made of? This little boy is made of sweet stuff. Reagan is 2 months old now. He has been WOWING us for 62 days. Everyday brings us something new to smile about. Reagan is enjoying playing and talking and interacting more each day. He knows his mama's voice and talks back often. Reagan has her just where he wants her...holding him.
















Reagan snuggles with a dog Grandpa Malone sent him.

SPLISHIN' AND A SPLASHIN'...
After a long day of shots I decided it would be a good time to relax in the tub. I splished and splashed giggled and laughed and then cried when mom tried to wash my hair. I got the shivers when I got out so mom wrapped me up in my lion towel--ROAR! I'm feelin' pretty cozy now.
















Reagan snuggles into his warm towel after a bath.

JUST A SWINGIN'...
Everyone needs a day to relax. So, that is exactly what I did. I took a bath and splashed for awhile and then snuggled into my bathrobe. I love my swing...fish are very interesting when they are spinning above your head.















Reagan Gentry lounges in his bathrobe.

I'M A BIG BOY NOW...
I am 8 weeks old now. Mom says I change everyday. I am smiling more and playing more too. My voice (cry) is sounding more mature. I like making noises and holding on to things like mom's long hair.















Reagan at 8 weeks.

Collin Goolsby came to see me. He tried to teach me how to laugh out loud. That Collin is a funny guy. He is always smiling! I think he will be a good friend.















Collin and Reagan take a break in the recliner.

SMILE FOR THE CAMERA...
Mom has been chasing me around with a camera for days. I finally decided to give in to a grin. I am 7 weeks old and finding my mom pretty funny. She makes lots of funny sounds and coos back when I talk to her. Moms love this stuff.

Reagan smiles for the camera and melts his mommy's heart.

LEARNING TO LOVE...
Miss Julia came back for a visit. We have both grown so much. Our moms had fun watching us interact. I don't think I'm ready to love girls yet, but I am starting to love my discovery gym. Julia thought it was great too. I guess I planned the perfect date.

Reagan and Julia stare at the bright stars in the discovery gym.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?...
Uncle Jeff is preping me for all I need to know...The Texans! I guess the team record doesn't matter...he still enjoys the games. My Grandpa Malone thinks that is a mistake...he loves the Cowboys. Uncle Jeff got me a jersey first so I am a Texans fan (at least for now.)
Reagan is in charge of the remote. He can watch both games.

SLEEPY TIME REAGAN...
We were all worn out from the Christmas activities. Reagan finds the best place to snooze...Grandma's lap.















Reagan says Grandma has the magic touch...loving arms that snuggle him in tight.

WHERE IS SANTA?...
We did not get to sit on Santa's lap this year, but we had plenty of fun with the reindeer.















Reagan thinks about what his reindeer name should be.

OUR FIRST FAMILY CHRISTMAS...
Preston and I received the best gift this Christmas; a happy and healthy son. We enjoyed the time spent with family. Reagan enjoyed being held. We are looking forward to next Christmas when Reagan can enjoy his gifts and get even more enjoyment out of the wrapping paper.
