Fun weekend!

Mom came down last weekend and we had such a great time. We went to the mall, park, Reese got to swim in her pool and play outside, and Chris and I got to go to the Texans game and got sideline passes. I am loving every moment of our life and cherish my family so much!


Reese loves ducks! Whenever we pull up to the park/pool she starts screaming Duck. She chases after them and they come right up to her. It makes mommy a nervous wreck!

Already playing dress-up! Reese loves to play with all my shoes and these boots are her favorite. G-Ma made her pretty shirt with her name on it.




She was waving and blowing kisses the whole ride to her G-Ma


Reese loves her baby! We named this one Marley. She pats her, hugs and kisses her, feeds, her and loves try to put her bows in her hair. She has to take her to school everyday!

She knows she's a cutie!

Family Reunion

We went to our family reunion in Gatesville last weekend. Reese had such a good time playing with all of her cousins. It isn't often that we are there at the same time as her cousins from Dallas, so it was wonderful the girls all got to play together. Reese LOVED her girl cousins, McKenna and Chloe. They were so sweet to her and even taught her to spin circles. She thought they were something else and I did too!

My baby is growing up!

Reese is changing so much! We are finally bottle-free, yeah!! We stopped formula right at 12 months, but have been giving her warm whole milk in a bottle for night time. She is talking up a storm. Her new favorite words are outside, music, hot, ok, wanna see(anytime she wants something), dog, duck, cat, hat, no,no, this one(while she brings me a book to read), and La,La,La( while she rocks her babies).
I was hoping Reese would have a little more of her daddy's personality of being outspoken since I'm a bit passive. Well, I guess my wish came true.
Miss Laney(her teacher) told me at school Reese walked up to a boy who was playing blocks. He told her, "No Reesie, my blocks. Well Reese looked at him and told him no,no, followed by a bunch of other "words" in her language. The 3 year old started crying because Reese hurt his feelings. Miss Laney said she is not going to have any problem telling those boys off!That's my girl!!
She also loves to cheerlead! I say Ready and she says ok and then trys to copy my moves and facial expressions. Daddy was hoping she would be a tomboy, but I think he's losing that battle. I hand her a ball and she hugs it and places it down instead of throwing it. She does love to kick balls though.
I boxed up the bottles and all the "baby stuff" with tears in my eyes. It really is going by so fast, but I am so glad of the little toddler/girl Reese is becoming!!

Reese's new favorite place to read is on top of a chest.


And she is still attached to her bankie and her thumb!



Boxes are the best toys!

Trip to Galveston

We went to Galveston with my parents for our annual family vacation. We had such a great time. We went to the beach, pool, and out to eat a couple of times. Reese had a great time. She liked the beach a little better this time, which I was glad.
