Jon and Janice Heaton are pleased to announce and welcome to the world Regan James Heaton.
Born November 16, 2009 10:04 pm
Stats: 6 pounds 10 ounces, 18 inches long baby boy!
These are the real stats (guess I was a little tired last night)
And here he is!
My Dad, Barry and Sam came up for Halloween. We had such a nice day. And Kaylee had fun going trick-or-treating with Sam, Barry, Papa, and Yaya. Jon was sweet and stayed home with me.
We got the pumpkins last weekend to carve, but do to Jon getting sick the carving didn’t happen until Halloween afternoon. It was lots of fun, and I was even allowed to finish Barry’s while he was out trick-or-treating with everyone.
I love how Sam’s hair turned out. I wasn’t able to get the front a big as I wanted because she has bangs, but really loved the finished project. It’s amazing what you can do with bobby pins and hair spray! It was so much fun being able to do Halloween hair and makeup for Kaylee and Sam. It really made not being able to got out with them easier as I still felt involved.
Kaylee was being such a ham. I tried so hard to get a good picture of the font of her, but since I’m stationary and she’s a mover… well you get the gist of her cuteness. I love how her $3 costume turned out. I spent a day making her tutu and think it’s great for a first attempt.
Barry got to wear Jon’s pirate costume as Jon stayed home with me. Barry was so great to pose for me. Jon did the EEK with the spider and Barry did the Moon with the Bat. The pumpkins looked so much better than I thought they would. Jon stuck tons of tea lights in both of them to really make the carvings awesome. Next year we plan to have carving knives and do some super fancy pumpkins. It was hard to do the little details with kitchen knives. The boys did a really amazing job with their limited tools.
After everyone got back from trick-or-treating and candy sorting Kaylee decided to tackle Uncle Barry and steal part of his costume. She was so funny brandishing the sword around. I wish I could have gotten better pictures, but you do what you can being stuck in one spot. Meanwhile I get to stop taking the Terbutaline on Sunday! So we are officially in countdown mode at our house. The day after I stopped the Terbutaline with Kaylee we went to the hospital to have her. After my appointment yesterday I suddenly felt VERY short on time. It’s so funny how it feels like forever, and then suddenly you realize you could use more time to get things ready. Oh, well we are very excited that the end is near.
Jon took Kaylee in for her 18 month WCC and shots yesterday afternoon. She will be 19 months next week so this appointment was a little late. Oh, well. She did great as always with the shots. She even called me to tell me all about it. We were hoping that this appointment would be the last for weight checks… well she goes back in a couple months for another weight check! At least we get a month off from taking her in to get weighed. But she is going in next month to get the second does of both the seasonal and H1N1 flu shots. So Jon will be taking her in for more shots. 🙂 Everything else about her is great. We were really hoping that she would be 20 lbs, but no luck. She just burns her food off faster than we can get it in her!
New stats:
Weight: 19 lbs 1 oz (.49%)
Height: 30 3/4 in (18%)
Head: 18 1/4 in (41%)
New things she says and does:
After diaper changes when we stand her up to put her pants on she likes to point at her Jesus collage and say, “Jesus!” Jon says she sounds like she’s cursing. 🙂 But we both think it’s cute.
She follows my R.S. ladies around the house and helps them with the chores. Their favorite is when she plugs the vacuum in for them and moves the kitchen chairs out of their way while they are sweeping.
She will get a pot and lid out and make food for us. The other day she dumped pretzels in a pot stirred them and said, “yummy!” She then feed me her delicious food.
She says, “pease help me.” We love this. She started saying it by herself one day and got such a good response from us she hasn’t stopped since and only occasionally has to be reminded to be polite.
This cutie pie is doing something funny and new everyday. Way to much for one post so these are just the new favorites. She is such a joy to us!
FUN STUFF!
I got my new Sling in the mail on Tuesday! It is so BEAUTIFUL and fits perfect! I am so looking forward to wearing Regan around in it. Hopefully that day is still a few weeks off. 🙂 Look how pretty it is. THANKS ORA! Oh, and my name is on both slings in fabric pen. I’m not losing my spare arms again!
So this is for all you Mommies out there with kids in diapers. Thursday while Kaylee was at the docs office the UPS man came to our house. Why is this blog worthy you may wonder… well he brought me 80 FREE diapers!!! Yup FREE. Would you like some free diapers??? Silly question I know. 🙂 Here is how I got free diapers. As I’ve typed so much already I’ll just give you the link. This is one of my favorite sites. Go here http://www.engineeradebtfreelife.com/2009/08/how-to-get-free-diapers-plus-10-free-we.html for instructions if you are interested in some free diapers. It took a week for them to call me back then less than a week for the diapers to come. Plus after I do a short phone interview after using the diapers they will send me a $10 check!!! Very much worth it for a small amount of effort on my part. Hope everyone had just as fabulous a week as we did! Happy weekend everyone. Let it be hospital and new baby free. 🙂
