Sweetness!

This weekend we took a quick trip to North Louisiana to see my brother and his family, including sweet baby Reagan. I knew before going that she was going to be small. She weighed 6lbs 1oz when she was born, but at her recent doctor's visit, she was down to 5lbs 9oz. Most of her clothes were huge on her, so I went shopping for her before our trip. I found a few outfits that were up to 5lbs. I thought they would probably fit her and even be a little snug on her.
When I got there, Chrystal was standing at the door holding her and I couldn't believe just how small she really is. I think back to when John was born and the fact that he only weighed a little over 3lbs, and I just can't fathom that he was ever that small. And her new little outfits that I brought her actually fit pretty well.

I enjoyed every minute that I was there, especially the time I got to spend holding her. She sleeps a lot, obviously, but she is just the sweetest and most precious little thing. She is such a snuggler. I was more than happy to feed her a couple of bottles and just watch her fall asleep after like she was completely content. I did get to see her eyes open a few times and I told her when she can stay awake a little longer, we would have a little chat on how to handle those two big brothers.

Speaking of big brothers, those two boys are quite smitten with her. Kash obviously understands a little more than William, but both boys kept coming and giving her kisses on her head and cheek throughout the weekend. What a sweet family they all are. I can't wait to watch her grow. She is going to be a heart breaker.

So I'm going to end this post with a collection of pictures. Some of the pictures aren't the best quality because I left the camera at home and had to use the camera on my phone. But I just couldn't get enough of this little one.
