Day 2 - LA or Bust!

The next morning we dropped Darrin off at the aiport, he headed to Vegas for the weekend to celebrate Weston's bachelor party, and we were off to LA. We had lunch reservations at The Ivy at 12:30 and by the time we got there we were starving. We had heard alot about The Ivy and it being a celebrity hot spot, so we decided to play paparazzi for the day! It was a really nice little place, however not baby friendly! The tables were so close to each other, the high chair was missing the belt to strap Reagan in and it just wasn't comfortable. So Reagan & I walked Robertson Blvd. while the girls finished lunch.

Afterwards we all walked the strip for a bit and headed to Beverly Hills. We drove through looking at some of the houses and toured through Rodeo. Then decided to go to Hollywood which is where we spent most of our day. We checked out the stars and did a little shopping! The weather was perfect and we had a blast!

Sister's Here!!

FINALLY the day we have been counting down to since last December! Sister's here!! WA-HOO, it seemed like this day would never come, 3 months is entirely WAY to long to go without seeing Sister! Reagan and I picked up her and Amberly ( Forrest's sister ) from the airport around noon and headed out to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Of course it was conveniently located near my favorite mall here so we shopped around before heading back home. Once we got home both Sister & Amberly had gifts for Reagan, she is SO spoiled! Thank you Aunt Mae Mae for my Easter basket full of goodies & Amberly thank you for my new Trumpette stockings!

Toofers!!

Look who has toofers!! I thought she was teething and sure enough I was right! Not only is she getting a tooth, but she is getting TWO at the same time! Poor thing, I'm sure that doesn't feel good. They aren't all the way in just yet but they are starting to show!

Mama!!

Here she is saying Mamama! Of course she says it all day but as soon as I pull out the camera she stops!!

She said it!!!

Guess what Reagan said today.....Mamamamama!!! I heard her say it and didn't think to much of it at first, she mumbles alot, but she said it all day!! I called Aunt Mae Mae & Tricia and they heard, and she really performed for Nonna & Grandpa!! Later on in the day Darrin called on his way home from work and I said..."Reagan has something to tell you." He said, "she does, I miss her today." I said "she said Mamamama, can you believe it!!!" And guess what his response was......"I know, I heard her say it last night in the bath, I didn't tell you because I was jealous." hahahhaha!!! He was the first to hear and I thought he didn't know! TURD!

I tried to record it today, but of course when I had the camera out she was to interested in it and wouldn't say it. I will try to get her saying Mamamama tomorrow!! She sure loves her Mommy!

Up on all Fours!!

Our Date Night

The last night Honey & Pops were here we decided to go out on a date, just me & Darrin. We knew it would be a while before it was just so we went downtown and had dinner. We ate at Ocean Air, which was wonderful, then walked around downtown. At the Padres stadium the USA vs Japan game was going on so we walked down there before heading home. We had a nice time and ended up home earlier than planned. I guess we aren't late nighters anymore, we were home and in bed before 11:00!

Reagan and her Nicknames

It has been brought to my attention that Reagan has tons of nicknames and if you know the Sniders at all you know this is ALL their doing. However, before reading this you must understand that I have no idea how some of these nicknames evolved. We all have those names that somehow and in someway stick and later we wonder where in the world they came from. Well, Reagan already has TONS! I felt I needed to blog about some of them so later we can see which, if any, actually stuck and laugh about the names we used to call her!

Roxanne - Daddy (When Reagan was first born she was a B A D baby! She had colic and often had episodes where she would just scream, it was terrible! When she changed over into that mood Darrin called her Roxanne. He said "who would ever want to be called Roxanne, maybe if I call her that she won't be a Roxanne." So Roxanne she was!"

Rocky/Rocky San Dune/Rockafeller - Daddy started it, but now we both use it. It is Roxanne shortened, which was Roxy at first, but is her most popular nickname! Sorry Reagan!

Tooter - Mommy

Sugar - Mommy

Princess - Daddy & Mommy & Nonna

Bill - hahaha, Daddy (this is another one that SOMEHOW formed when she is not being a good girl!)

Rea Rea - Aunt Mae Mae

Cheeks - Pops

Sweet Pea - Pops

Lil Stank/ Nation - Uncle Potter (or Uncle Lance, who still has a nickname!)

Reaganator - Aunt Tricia and Uncle Dustin

Happy St. Patty's Day!

No one will be pinching our little cutie today! She was dressed and ready to celebrate her first St. Patrick's Day! It was a beautiful day, the weather was just perfect. We went up to La Jolla and walked along the beach, then walked out to watch the sea lions. We all had a great day & Reagan definitely looks good in green! :)

Also I have to note that she is starting to crawl! She hasn't mastered it just yet, but I'm sure in no time she will be crawling! She knows what to do, gets up on all fours, falls back down and tries to scoot. I haven't gotten a very good picture of it but before you know it I am going to have my hands full!!

Balboa Park

I love walking around Balboa Park, the park is so beautiful and there is always something going on down there. Today, since it was the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day, there was a parade, a live band, and tons of green beer and food. We thought we were going in the right direction, but actually ended up on the opposite side of the parade. Which was fine, probably a little to crazy than what we were looking for anyway! We walked the park and then went to where the parade was held. Ate some of that food that is totally irresistible and totally unhealthy in every way and then came home. Reagan wore her first little pair of tennis shoes and I couldn't keep my lips off of her! She was so cute, we just kissed her all day! I just love her so much!
