This little lady found her feet today and had her very first shoulder ride. She LOVED it. So much smiling and giggling. She sure is a fun baby.

Regan’s 5th Birthday Party
He wanted a Halloween theme for his party this year. I was pretty excited because the house was already half decorated, and it was a nice excuse to buy more Halloween decorations. I have Hotel Transylvania on during the party. And party guest were encouraged to dress up.
Red velvet cupcakes because, "they will look like blood Mom." Yummy.
He wanted a "creepy pumpkin" for his pinata.
A little pin the nose on the skeleton.
Kaylee had fun spinning everyone for the game.
A bit of musical napkin square fun.
Regan had a meltdown whe he lost at musical squares. Because in his world the point of playing is to win. And loosing sucks. Getting him to be a good sport when he doesn't win has been a work in progress for years. Years. To be fair he is getting better about.
We missed Jake's birthday so we made him blow out candles too. I still remember Jake's 30th party. SO many contractions. My two OB's were there and made me go to labor and delivery. Guess I was looking pretty rough. Jake was hopping Regan would be born on his birthday, but no such luck. He made his grand entrance into the world a few days later.
I love watching Regan open gifts. He is so grateful and animated.
Kiss attacks from Auntie Jack'ee.
And Regan enjoying his chosen breakfast the next morning (his Birthday) of homemade pancakes and peach sauce. It's hard to believe my little buddy if FIVE! He is one awesome kiddo and we are so very blessed that he is ours.
1st loose tooth
Kaylee had her first loose tooth, and it was a shark tooth situation. She worked it for a few days and then we ripped that sucker out!
"So I know that the Toof Fairy isn't real, but I still want my money."
"Um… who told you that the Tooth Fairy isn't real?"
"Nobody. I just realize that fairies are pretend. So the Toof Fairy must be pretend too. But Mom I still want money under my pillow. Okay?"
We then had a conversation about how just because she realized that fairies are pretend and that that must mean the Tooth Fairy is pretend other kids have not figured that out. So this info is just for her and not to be shared with others. She was all, "Oh, like how babies are made. It's just for grownups to tell kids. Okay." And that was that.
She got a dollar for her first tooth. She reminded us to put it there.
