A FEW XMAS PICS

Grandmom got Cousins Anna and Reese the same holiday outfits to wear. How adorable!!

Grandpa Dee and Reesey bonded on x-mas eve.

Reese loved all her gifts from her Great Grandma Bette! Here, she's chewing on a bath sponge.

She passed out on a friend's lap....

More to come!

1ST VIDEO CLIP

Well, here is the first video I'm posting and have taken of Reese with our new, tiny Flip camera. I promise I'll get better about the baby talk.... I'm not used to hearing myself back like this. But, the baby sure is cute!!

DECEMBER CONTINUED..

Santa came early since we were in desperate need of entertainment and he brought a top-of-the-line "exersaucer" for Reesey. She's surrounded by things to grab and watch and it also bounces as she jumps with her legs!! In this pic, she's wearing a favorite hat that Dada's co-worker Dana gave her.

I look just like my Grandpa Dee in this picture!

Drunk on milk, wearing Lucia's Grandma JoAnn's onesie! So fitting!

HOLIDAY SEASON! CATCHING UP......

We picked out a Christmas tree for the first time this year with Reesey. She wore her ski sweater.

Sophia and Reese had a play date while Moms enjoyed some wine and a movie...

Reese got comfy with the cats. Vega didn't feel like moving from her spot. They think that all Reese's toys are their property!

We staged our joke family portrait Christmas card photo. We had fun doing it. (I love that Marshall is down to do stuff like this!) For all the Grandmas: this is our attempt at a nuclear 1980's family......exactly what we are not, but boy do we both remember these types of family pics!

GRANDMOM'S BIRTHDAY

Here's a couple shots of Reese at Grandmom Bennett's birthday get together.

BUNNY LOVE

The time has come where Reese has taken to her "Bunny" that her Grammy gave her! We are hoping this security bunny will help comfort her and make her feel safe outside our arms. She is just starting to be able to grab onto him.

DRESSES

Today we tried on a few dresses for fun because we know her Grandmom would like them.....not sure if she does though!

Here's my x-mas dress! It fits!

FIRST EXERSAUCER

Reese and her friend Sophia

I put Reesey in this exersaucer that her Grandmom gave her today. She isn't reaching for anything yet, but just to have her sitting up and holding her head was brand new!

We visited Grammy at her new house! Look how BIG Reese looks when she's all swaddled up now!

THANKSGIVING!

Unfortunately, I didn't get as many Thanksgiving shots as I'd hoped! Dee, send me some of yours! We hosted this year and it was crowded but fun with lots of good food.

Uncle Dan and Reese

Cousin Alex and baby Reese!

NEW BED

Grandmom got me a special, new bed so I can sleep at an incline and bounce to soothe my gas and acid reflux problems. I've been sleeping soundly since 7:45pm tonight!

We dangled some toys above to keep me entertained!

It's like sleeping in a comfy hammock....

Earlier today we went to a Thanksgiving potluck for Moms and Babes of West Seattle and hung out with Reese's new friend, Sophia!


Tummy time!

A VISIT TO GRANDMOM AND GRANDDAD'S HOUSE

"This my daughter, Yo!"

We got to see Auntie Autumn...

and cousin Anna....

and, of course, Grandmom!

Granddad, Dada and Reesey chilled on the couch together.

REESE'S 11 WEEK SOCIAL CALENDAR

Reese at Tom and Kim's for Dinner! She was an angel and we couldn't believe it. A colicky corner being turned??
So nice to have dinner at a friend's house. Thanks guys!

She sat it Dada's lap without squirming and crying.....and then Mama's lap too!

Auntie Amber got back from her trip to Egypt! Awwwwwww

11 WEEKS OLD

After 11 weeks, Lucia, Reese's cousin, finally takes some interest in holding her! We were so happy to get these shots.

Reading the paper with Dad.

Getting Bigger!

It's ALL about this sling and exercise ball lately. Hopefully I'll still have a functioning back when she's older. She's definitely needs to be held and bounced A LOT!

She LOVES her baths. She's never cried in the tub. Now that's what I'm talking about!
