I gave in and gave Reese her bday present early. She LOVES it!!!

Beth's dogs

Not a big fan of the winter coat and hat.

Reese and Grandma Ruby's snow globe.

Reese and Gabriel's first "real" play time. She is just now old enough to get on the floor and play. Gabriel is SO cute!!! He let her mal him, and took it like a champ. Then when we got ready to leave he loved on her. These two will be having many more fun Thanksgivings together!!

Reese's picture's are up @ Amber's photo site.

Reese was very cuddlie today.

Now I know why.

Teeth

Teeth. I would have never guessed they would make my life hell. I know in about 13 years I am going to think teeth were a breeze next to boys,,,, but now they are my hell.
Today was going to be a nice family outing to the Huber's for Reese's first "acting" part in a play. She was going to be an angel. I had her bag packed w/ white tights, toys to keep her happy, and crunchy's if it got too long. I wanted to be the best "stage mom" ever!!! :)
But then came red watery eyes, pulling ate the ears, and CRANKY!!!! I am thinking we have a cold coming (I am tired too) But by the end of the day, during the night time bath ,, I see it,,, a MOLAR!!!! No way!!! We just got the first 8 in..... she was just now sleeping through the night NOOOOOO!!!!! I still wouldn't give into the thought of more teeth (even though she has been violently biting toys today) until she wouldn't go to sleep and I got out the Orajel. She went out like a light. Damn.

Bangs,or no bangs.....that is the question...

On Thursday's Reese goes to Kristin's.What a blessing it has been to be able to take Reese there when work gets too crazy, or I just need a break. There are days I pick her up, and when we go home she crys, cause she wants to go back. How sad is that!!!

Sadie

Just when Chris & I think we want a dog, we just go see Sadie. She is american bull/lab mix.

She will be a great dog,,,,,,, in about 2 years!!:) WILD ASS!! She has`so much energy, but she is SOO good natured, loves Reese. Reese loves her.

Grandma's rocker

Doesn't everyone's Grandma have a rocker we remember? This is Grandma Ruby's. Reese loves it.

fun w/dad

Christopher has had this week "off" and we have all enjoyed it. Reese REALLY likes Daddy being home to wrestle with her.

A few weeks ago Reese was great about taking pictures.

You would say "cheeseburger" and she would give you a big beautiful smile.

now she smiles like this

I'm not kidding, she does this now

Turkey!!!

first steps

Isabella and Reese

Sat. night we all went to Jimmy & Jill's annual cookout. We had a good time. Great food, good friends, and little Isabella Michelle. Isabella is about 3 wk. younger than Reese. She is a tiny thing. So very sweet.Reese of course wanted to feel her head, eyes and nose. Isabella was a sport and let her. Although I'm not sure if she really wanted us there. It was bed time for both of them, so we put them in their jammies. I know by the time we were 1/2 way home Reese was snoozing. another WILD Sat. night. :)

Reese loves other kids. I think Isabella was scared.

I think she was ready for us to leave.

my climber

So I turn my back for 1 second to clean the floor,and I turn around and see Reese working so hard to try to climb the rug to get in the chair. She has been trying to figure out how to get onto the couch, but she can't get those precious, juicy thighs that high.

She SLEEPS!!

After 8 teeth in 4 months, we finally have our happy,and SLEEPY Reese back!!! Now we are back a 2 1/2 hour nap, and 10-11 hrs @ night!! It is AMAZING how much better a person can feel w/some sleep!!!

First real food

Reese had her first mac & cheese this week. She really enjoyed it!!
