The Mathews' Memories: June 2009

Well life in the Mathews' household is ever changing and not just because we have a little girl who is growing like a weed.

First off, Michelle resigned from her current position at the end of May and accepted a position with ATK Lake City (where her mom works!) and starts June 9th. We are so thankful that the Lord provided this opportunity - better salary, more time off, better benefits. And I've actually been able to stay home with Reagan for the past two weeks as my old job did not want me to work out the two week notice I gave. It has been wonderful pretending I'm a stay at home mom!

Second and most exciting, Reagan is changing and growing by the second it seems. New developments

- Holds her head WAY up when on her tummy
- Can roll (occasionally) from tummy to back

- Smiles BIG smiles all the time

- Talks and coos constantly

- Found her tongue and sticks it out and blows bubbles

- Had one short giggle and is trying to figure out how to do it again (Mommy is so ready for giggles)!

- Has excellent head control when sitting in her bumbo seat or sitting supported by someone

- Tracks Joel or I or the dogs when we walk around the room

- Focuses on the toys from her activity play mat

- Loves to look at herself in a mirror (and why wouldn't she - she's just so pretty!)

- Loves to look at pictures of other babies

Today we are headed to Ohio for Uncle Ryan's wedding! Hopefully little Miss will be a good car rider and we'll be able to make half the trip today and finish it up tomorrow, it should be around 12 hours total. Reagan has the cutest little dress to wear, no she is not in the wedding, but I did try and match the colors so we can get a family picture since both Joel and I are in the wedding. We are very excited to be a part of Ryan & Danielle's beginning together! I promise to post pictures when we get back.

Until then here are a hodge-podge of pictures from the past couple of weeks. Enjoy!
