19 months old

I really don't know how reaghan is over a year and a half old. The time really does fly by. 

I love that we can 'see' her learning new things every day. 

She lights up a room anywhere she goes! 

She's also started the terrible twos...or at least I think so! 

We are currently experiencing the 18 month sleep regression. I think we are on the tail end of it now. Or maybe that is wishful thinking! 

She acts like a monkey by scratching the top of her head and says 'ooh ooh ee ee'!

She is bilingual! She knows what water is but calls it agua!

She also loves books and Elmo!

There is so much more to say about this girl but I'm sure you don't need a book! 

I just thought I'd share since I haven't really posted many pics of Rea on the blog!!

Chewing the Fists ALL Day Long

That's all this little girl does! First we tried on her new hat and then went to the park!

 

Just wanted to tell y'all Happy Friday and keep this post short and sweet to just show you some photos of Rea!

 

We are off to Austin for the weekend for my birthday!

Rea - 4 Months Old & the Secret to Traveling with Her

 

 

Rea is growing too too fast. She was actually 4 months on Monday!

So on Monday...I mentioned we would be traveling with Rea to Austin to visit my mom for my birthday.

This trip will be super easy with two of us but About a month ago I traveled to Austin to visit my mom (Grami & Papi) by myself. It's about a 3.5 hour trip from Houston (I think...I can't remember haha).

Eric was out of town on a business trip to New York (lucky butt).

I was pretty nervous and fully prepared to stop or turn around if I needed to! 

Well what do you know...she was a fantastic little travel mate.

The secret?!?! 

 

1. Keep about 5 pacifiers in front with you at all times.

 

2. Make sure your arm is long enough to reach the baby.

(Maybe do some arm stretches the week before to make it longer?) haha

 

3. Place a baby mirror in front of her car seat (attached to the backseat headrest) so you can see her at all times.

 

4. Anytime you can't find current paci...give her one from your stash!

Not sure if it's the safest but I did keep my eyes on the road...just reached my hand back to her :-/

What are your secrets to traveling with the baby? Or kids in general!

Have a great day yall!
