RGT, OUR LITTLE MONKEY MAN...
He can roll! You have to understand how exciting this is for him. He worked hard and he is enjoying being more mobil. He wants to walk or scoot or stand so badly. He has dancing feet the minute you touch them to the ground. Reagan is using his legs a lot these days and is learning to push more with his arms too. He is able to sit for short times in his tripod sit position. He is counting down the days until he reaches independence with that one. He is reaching for objects and using his pinchers more to find smaller objects; of course everything, including this monkey, goes in his mouth.

ANYONE SEEN A BASEBALL?...
I'm ready for the game; if I could just find my baseball! These are my Easter eggs. I love them! They are just the right size for my little hands and perfect for chewing! Check me out...I even have the face for a spitball.




















Reagan Gentry decides he likes baseball best of all.

JUST LET ME DO IT...
I am chowing down on cereal these days. I am used to having it in my bottle, but this spoon thing is a whole new experience. I try to help mom get it in my mouth, but somehow it always ends up on my face too. I am a beginner in these pictures. You should see me now...mom says I will get veggies by the end of the week. I can't wait! What will she feed me next? I thought my bib tasted good...I have a lot to look forward too.


HAPPY EASTER...I'M 5 MONTHS!...
I had a great Easter Sunday. I got to see both sides of the family. I had to pose for quite a few pictures, but I enjoyed all the attention. The Easter Bunny was good to me and then I got to go church. I sang along to all my favorites and then I even talked back to Pator Ed. I agreed with all he had to say. I thought I should let him know. I will be dedicated at my church on May 28th at 8am. I am looking forward to my day. Here are a few of my pictures. I loved being one of the boys, but you can tell by the look on my face that the woman are more fun!

23 WEEKS WITH MY DAD...
I am 23 weeks old and feelin' good. It is a great age to be. I can reach and grab objects, use my fingers as pinchers, observe the world around me and participate a bit more each day. I laugh and cackle too. I hum along to all my favorite songs, blow spit bubbles, and entertain myself and others quite well. I can roll to one side and pull my knees in too. I rub my feet together like a little cricket and make mom and dad roll with laughs. Dad rubs his feet together all the time. I still love to talk and to listen to all the things going on around me. Outside is my favorite place to be. I put absolutely EVERYTHING in my mouth. I love fabric and all the textures it has to offer. The way I kick my legs and scoot about mom says I will be crawling before I ever roll. I keep telling her that I am a chunka munka man and there is just too much of me to move that way...she helps out. This is my new toy. It is a vibrating, bouncing, singing elephant...I like to chew on its trunk. Dad likes to make it bounce on my belly. I love being me!





















Happy B-day Mr. RGT!

HAVE YOU SEEN MY GLASSES?...
I love to read books! Mom made it her obsession to gather as many books as she could before I was born. Teacher bonus points really helped out in that area. Plus, I got lots of great reads from my baby showers too. I look at all the pictures as I am being read to and I love silly voices. I even help turn the pages. I am adding to the character of the books as well. I teeth on the edges and slobber too. Mom tries to let me use the foam books for this. Aunt Melissa loaned me her glasses for the day. Thanks Aunt Mel. I had lots of reading to catch up on.

















What can I say...I'm a book worm!

FUNNY MAN!...
I'm 22 weeks old. It is a great age to be. I am grabbing things and beginning to show my independence. Mom challenges me. She holds out a toy so I can reach for it. She lets me play for awhile and then she takes it away and offers a new one. I let her know real quick if I want it back :) She also lets me make some of my own decisions. We stand in my closet together and choose my clothes for the day. I touch the outfit I like best. At least that's what she thinks. I am interacting more with mom and dad and with the environment each day. There is so much to see. I am a people watcher and a nature lover.






















Ha, Ha...

YIKES! YOUCH!...
Got teeth? I do. I have 2. I got my first tooth on March 30th and my second on April 1st. Grandma Malone felt it first. I bit her! I know this is not typically a nice thing for a young man to do, but I just wanted to show off my new tooth. Mom could not believe it. She had checked the day before...no teeth. The series of pictures that follow show you how much fun I had breaking these pearly white in. Mom tried it all...sponges, wash cloths, teething rings and toys, oragel and rubbing gums...I made it.

















Their in!

I'M AN EXPLORER...
I'm getting good at this game. I can find her nose and her lips and her cheeks...I leave scratches too. Mom likes to copy me. When I find her nose she finds mine. We try to copy eachothers voices too. Dad is good at this game. I try to trick him by adding lots of slobber to mine and making my new razzing sounds.















Kissy lips, big white teeth...where are mine?

DADDY DOES IT DIFFERENT...
Mom left me at home with Dad. Dad's just do it different. I had a lion on my head! Why does he love to put things on my head? I was smiling so I guess it's okay for now. We made a mess so I had to change clothes. Then, I was just worn out. Dad put me to sleep in the living room floor with his pillow and blanket. Thanks for sharing dad, but I have a crib. You should come to my room next time.
















From playtime to naptime, dad's do it differnt.

I'M NOT IN THE MOOD...
Maybe I just take too many pictures, but Reagan was not the mood to capture these moments. In his first pic he is 21 weeks old. He has on his safari gear. Quite stylish if I do say so myself. Notice the feet. The camera does not do them justice, but we know which pieces of him came from his daddy. Reagan has his Daddy's lips and tongue...he can fold it in the middle...I can't. He has his dad's narrow hips and long body. You've seen the feet. And, the eyebrows are not mine either. Anyone wondering where the swirl in his hair came from. I found it on Preston just last night. We will have lots of fun combing his hair in the years to come...Reagan has 3 swirls.
In the second picture, Reagan is sitting in his high chair for the first time. I know we will use it more and more as time goes on. Right now...play time while mom and dad eat.
















Don't worry I will smile in the next one...

TABLE MANNERS?...
What are you teaching me? I have my feet on the table and I am flying through the air? I thought I was asked to stay in my seat and be respectful of those who were enjoying their dinner around me. New rules...keep your hat on indoors and play, play, play...
















Grandma Hamm and Dad worked at the Bridal Show all day so we decided to have dinner together.
