The Miss Congeniality Award Goes To...

Raegan!


This little girl is SO full of smiles...all the time! Raegan continues to be the easiest, funnest, most mellow baby I have ever known! Just like an alarm clock, she continues to only get up at 4am to eat, then back to bed until 8am or 9am! And I have been putting her to bed around 8pm, right along with Logann and Peyton! And this has been going on for about 6 weeks...so we will continue to enjoy it while it lasts!

The Mi-Mi (aka: binky) Fairy visited our house about a month ago! Over the last 3 months, we've been telling Peyton that one of these nights, the Mi-Mi Fairy is going to visit her. We told her she is going to get to leave her mi-mi on the night-stand for the Fairy to take, and that she will leave a special present in place of it. We would ask her every so often if she was ready to do that and the answer was always, "no, not yet." Well, about a month ago, she surprised us and said, "I'm ready to leave mi-mi, and I want the fairy to bring me the big princess doll Tiana from Princess and the Frog." So, that night, we wrote a letter to her and left her mi-mi out. So, the picture above is a picture of what the Fairy left...and she even wrote a note to Peyton telling her that she was a big girl for doing that, and she promised to give her mi-mi to a baby who needed it! (and yes, the Fairy left Logann a little something too there on the left for being such a supportive big sister!) The picture below is Peyton's first night without it...not a problem at all...slept through the night and has been ever since. She hasn't asked for it at all! This went way better than we expected! Peyton was so attached to that thing...I was sorta sad to see it go, because it means my baby is growing up!



Raegan absolutely LOVES her big sisters...total entertainment for all! Who needs those fancy play mats that have lights and music when you have two big sisters who sing and dance for you??!!



Miss Congeniality!



Logann and Peyton's way of showing a little bit of jealousy towards having a new baby in the house...they just want to be swaddled sometimes too!!!


A little bit of Mommy-Raegan time! I love having this little one around! I wouldn't be surprised if someday we have a 4th...despite the thought of Separated Pubic Symphysis...just a minor set-back but the end result is WELL worth it!

It looks like everyone is doing well! Good job Peyton on giving up the Mimi. What a big girl! And such a cool gift. Love the fairy.

Madison has been swaddled once or twice too when the boys were little. So funny!

What a sweet mommy moment with Raegen. She is such a doll. Love all the smiles.

Great pictures - love all of the smiles. The girls are getting so grown-up looking. Andrew already has the countdown going for his 6th birthday. Where has the time gone? Miss you all!
