These past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy. Last weekend was the 4th and a nice long weekend that I really wish we had more of. Darrell thought he was going to have to work through the weekend because the Legislature had started a special session the Wednesday before the 4th. Luckily, they got everything done finished up on Thursday, so Darrell ended up having Friday off as well.

Friday, I hung out with our friend Patti at Shady Grove and just kind of relaxed for the day. On the 4th, we lounged around most of the day because it was SO hot! Finally, around 10, we headed down towards San Marcos and went and hung out with Patti and her husband, John, in Martindale. They live really close to the river, so we took turns going down to the river and watching all of the tubers float by. Nice way to spend the 4th!

Yesterday was crazy busy for Reagan and I! A friend of mine that used to work with me was in town from Kansas with her little 2 1/2 year old, Emma. I met them and my friend, Cindy, that I work with at the mall at 10:30. We did some shopping and took turn holding kids and pushing strollers. It was Reagan's first time in the stroller without the carrier. He did really well, but we need to get some toys that attach to the stroller, because he got really board and the toys that I had given him kept ending up on the floor. We were at the mall for about 3 hours and other than fussing a little because he was just so tired, Reagan was a little trooper. He was asleep as soon as I put him in the car and took a short nap once we got home.

One of my work out buddies, Ann, had a birthday last Tuesday, so all of the girls met at Chuy's for dinner yesterday evening. Of course Reagan's presence was requested, so I took him with me. He was so unbelievably tired and it was pretty loud in the restaurant, so he was not really interested in hanging out with everyone. We had a good dinner and a quick visit and headed home. Then, my friend, Stephanie, came over and she and I headed down to New Braunfels to see Reckless Kelly. That's one of mine and Darrell's favorite local bands and I had not seen them in a year and a half, so it was so fun to go see them again. We even stopped by one of our old hangouts in San Marcos on the way home. It was a great day of friends and hanging with Reagan, but he and I were so worn out today from all of the excitement.

Today, was a day of regrouping, laundry, and getting ready for the week. We switched out Reagan's 3 month clothes for his 6 months clothes. He will be 6 months on Thursday. It's hard to believe that it has been that long already. He is trying SO hard to sit up, but just can't figure out how to get himself up. He will lay on his back and pick his head up and do what looks like a crunch. Darrell keeps saying that he's going to have the strongest abs of any baby. He can actually sit up on his one for short amounts of time. He just wants to move all the time and other than when he's sleeping, he has very little interest in lying down. His 6 month check up is on Thursday. I am interested to see how much he weighs now. He is getting so big!

I left my camera at Patti's on the 4th, so I don't have any photos other than these that Mom took at her house.
