Princess Reagan

Since we constantly talk about the "Alabamans", many of you know who we mean, but for you who don't, meet Reagan. Without a doubt, the biggest miracle I have ever met. Reagan has some health issues, and by ALL medical laws shouldn't be alive. But, because our Father in Heaven has great plans for her, she is still here. Reagan has been going through a pretty hard time again and has, once again, narrowly escaped losing her life. She is a fighter. She is still pretty sick and having a tough time recovering from a perforated bowel surgery. We are asking that you all remember Reagan and her family in your prayers. We know there is a plan for Reagan, and ask for support for her family in whatever that may be.
Now, on to things I love about Reagan. I love how she closes her eyes and pretends you aren't there if she doesn't want to talk to you!
I LOVE just looking at her and you can't help but smile.
I love her family and the chance we have to be so close with them even when we are so far away.
I love that she is going to tell you like it is. If she doesn't want you near her, she tells you to GO AWAY! (luckily I never got the first part of "I don't like you")
Her big blue eyes and her funny looks she gives are the best. The way she sounds when she talks is THE cutest thing ever!
I love her pointing her finger and telling you what to do!
I love that Reagan introduced us to Alivin and the Chipmunks, the movie and the HILARIOUS stories that followed. (you know you got it made...) When they left to go home, they even left us a copy of the movie!
I love that instead of a blanket or stuffed animal, she wants a wet washcloth on her forehead!
I love that for months she looked forward to feeding baby Grayson his BLUE bottle! So when we finally got there, she did!
I love her big brother, Brennen and how sweet and gentle he is! He would always be so soft with Grayson and tell me " I am just used to taking care of Reagan and you have to be so soft with her because she has brittle bones". He takes such good care of her!
Quite possibly my favorite thing of all, is late night parties in Reagan's room, sometimes just her and I. Often until 2 am! She would have me read the book "Pinkalicious" over and over again. If I skipped a part, she would recite it from memory. We would laugh and laugh because she is so hilarious and would say the funniest things as she made me dance around her room! She would talk me into sneaking her "m and o's" (plain m&m's) in the middle of the night!!! She now calls me Tiff-a-no! If I told her I was going to go to bed, she would tell me I wasn't! We would watch princess movies over and over. Once I started to sing along with one of the songs and she told me to be quiet because she wanted to hear the movie! I would stay in her room until she was fast asleep and LOVE every second of it. I love you little sugar, and can't wait to see you again!
