Week 3

Regan's third week was all about meeting new people and going new places.

We spent her first Easter and Grandma and Grandpa Gannon's house, and Grandma and Grandpa Kerl came for dinner along with the two Great Grandmas. She slept all through dinner, and then the rest of the clan came over during dessert. Six second cousins, 2 great aunts, 1 great uncle, 2 great-great aunts, and 1 great-great uncle. Everyone had to have their turn holding her, so we played "pass the baby".Mommy tried to take some cute Easter pictures of her posing in her Easter basket with her pink bunny... baby Regan was NOT having it; hence her miserable face in this picture:On Wednesday we went back to the pediatrician for a weight check. Regan weighed in at 5 pounds 11 ounces. So the good news was that she is back over her birth weight, the bad news is that she didn't gain as much weight as they would have liked. So mommy was promptly given the task of eating a bowl of ice cream every day, to try and fatten her up. We shall see if this proves to fatten mommy or Regan in the long run.

This week we started laying her on her activity mat so she can listen to the music and look at the toys. We also do "tummy-time" on it. It was popular with her for a few minutes, but Cosmo loved it! I even caught him playing by himself with the toys this morning.In addition to her trips to the doctor, we have started to go for walks around the neighborhood. It is nice to be able to visit Great-Great Aunt Kay, who is just around the corner. We spent about an hour there the other day visiting with the great aunts and uncle.

Here are a few pictures from this week:
