Blogging - low on the "To-Do" list

Merry Christmas!!

So, it's become apparent to me that I am not good at keeping this thing up! Sorry to those of you (if there are any of you) who check it frequently, only to be disappointed that another week as gone by without a post. The life of a new mommy is a busy one - but an absolutely fabulous one! I have, over the past few weeks, managed to get a pretty solid daily rhythm...and somehow, come January 4th, I get to figure out how to get everything done in much less time and on much less sleep as I have to return to work and finish out the school year with my eighth graders. (I fear I will become a lazy teacher as I will want to spend every minute I have at home with Reaghan! I've been trying to get a head start on lesson plans during naptimes to make things a little easier.)

Reaghan is now 7.5 weeks old - full of smiles and simply a delight. She has been sleeping through the night since about 4 weeks old (from 10pm to between 6 and 8am), and is only "grumpy" when hungry or super tired. Her favorite things to look at are the Christmas tree (when lit), the ceiling fan (at all times of day), the teddy bear mobile that hangs over her swing, the baby einstein floor gym, and out any window she is near.

As of her 6.5 week appointment, she weighed 10lbs 13oz and was 22.5 inches long.

I cannot say enough how much we love our sweet baby girl!
