An update from the Regans

We haven't updated our blog in quite a while (ahem, a couple months!) so we figured it was time.  In all seriousness, lots has been going on in our household, and we've probably talked about updating our blog at least once a week for the past few weeks and then we haven't done it.  So now we're finally taking the plunge once again.  

So what's been happening with the Regans?  Well, most of you probably know that I'm pregnant, so that's big news in our household.  I'm due on July 4 and am finally starting to feel like myself after months of feeling sick, awful and completely exhausted 24/7.  We're obviously excited and are looking forward to the ultrasound at the end of February.  And I'm enjoying being able to eat food without feeling ill, and being able to stay up past 9:30 p.m.!  It's the little things.

Christmas and my birthday were wonderful - we saw both families (Regans on Christmas Eve, McKeons on Christmas Day) and being the only grandchild, Emily of course got lots of fun X-mas gifts.  She's still a little young to know what was going on, but we had fun watching her. Johnny was in town from Tennessee,  Sean and Amy were in town from L.A., and we all got to spend quality time together, which was great.   We did miss Carrie, but knew she was having a great time touring South America.  Here's a photo of Emily on Christmas morning, riding her new "horsey:"

Although she looks a little mortified in this photo, she really was excited about her horse!

And here's a photo of the women in the McKeon family at my mom and dad's - looking festive, or slightly goofy, whatever your pick:

Emily's doing great.  She's growing like a weed (I'm sure I've said that before on here - she just continues to be REALLY tall), and now exploring everything she can, including drawers, doors, toilets, and all sorts of things that incite us to say "NO" every time she touches them.  Poor thing - lately she must think that's the only word we know.  Luckily she hasn't figured out how to say it back to us!  And as we discovered the other day, when we found her nearly running down the hall of our condo building without our knowledge, she can also open the front door by herself.  We've learned to lock it - thank goodness she hasn't figured our lock out yet, but I have a feeling it won't be long at the rate she's going.  She seems to be more active and curious each day, which is fun to watch, but tiring at times! 

She's fighting her first cold right now, too, which is a bummer - Pat's sick too and I think I may be getting the same plague that they have.  I'm trying to will it away. 

Lastly, we thought the below photo was cute.  Emily is wanting to "wear" any clothes that we do, and she apparently wanted to wear my mom's pajama top.  So my mom put it on her and she was very happy to be wearing it, as you can see!  She's also been doing this sort of silly giant smile for the camera now, every time we try to take her photo.  We think it's pretty hilarious. 

So there's the update.  We've vowed to update this much more frequently, and will post more photos - and hopefully video - very soon.
