A year ago today we were blessed with our sweet little Regan James. He was born at 10:04 PM on a Monday night. It was a “fast” Labor and delivery. Dr. H joked that I could either tell people that it was 5 months of labor or just a quick “active” 6. It was so nice only being in the Hospital for 6 hours (Kaylee was 23 hours) before getting to hold him in my arms. I yelled,”Holey Crow that was fast!” when our sweet nurse told us it was time to call Dr. H and to try NOT to push while he ran over (He was across the street). 15-20 minutes of pushing was all that Regan required (Kaylee was 2 hours!) of me. He was tiny and warm and all redheaded cuteness!
We had his party this last Saturday. It was fun. Regan got some real cute outfits. And some fun books and toys. He also got to have a special Regan friendly cupcake. He LOVED it! I tried one and didn’t care for it. Others that tried the special cupcakes said they were good. I also made regular cupcakes for everyone.
The Friday before party day Regan modeled the hat I made him. I used this tutorial here. I made just a few design tweeks, and it was SUPER easy. Now Mister Man cannot rip his hat off his head. I have given up on using his awesome Grandma Sapp hat. It’s only on his head for seconds before getting chucked. And with snow coming we needed a had that could be strapped on!
This was the mix I used for Regan’s cupcakes. Regan LOVED it so much.
Decorations.
Mama and Regan next to his Mama made cupcake piñata and decorated chair. His top had cute cute pants that went with it, but Regan had a B.V. issue right before the party. 🙁 Guess better before than during right?
Some party people.
Singing.
Kaylee blew out the candle for Regan just like we practiced. Such a helpful big sis.
At this point Regan I’m sure was wondering what was going on.
First bite of his wheat/dairy free cake and frosting.
He approves!
He ate that thing SO fast, and was SO happy about it!
Some party people eating goodness.
I LOVE the look of concentration on his face!
The mad dash for the goods.
Regan even joined in on the candy grab.
He wasn’t sure if he was allowed to grab the candy. Thus the face.
He spent time with my cousin Cristina playing with his new truck. They rolled it back and forth across the table for quite a bit. Regan had much fun.
The truck Jon and I got for him.
And finally this morning the birthday boy eating his special Regan friendly Mama made banana pancakes. It was his first time having pancakes, and he enjoyed them VERY much. I actually like how these pancakes taste. Poor Mister Man is having his WCC and shots this afternoon. Post to follow.
