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!

TWO MONTHS OLD!

Our "punkin" dressed up as a pea pod for Halloween, a convenient hand-me-down from Cousin Lucia! She lasted about 20 minutes in this costume.

I took my little punkin to the pumpkin patch. What an effort that was to walk far out to find a perfect pumpkin, only to have to carry the heavy thing plus a 10 pound baby all the way back. I downsized pumpkins a few times!

We were able to do a few things outside of the house at first this month (before her acid reflux got bad and her appetite became insatiable) like go to the Greek Festival and stuff our faces! We were not allowed in the beer gardens though later that day at Octoberfest . First reality shock for us!

Dada loves it when she's zonked. Can it get any cuter?









The cats don't seem to mind her much.

REESE LOVES HER AUNTIES!

Reese and Auntie Amber

Auntie Autumn and Reese

This day she was able to fit into her first pair of jeans! She has her Dad's mouth, can you tell?

She sports "Babylegs" a lot!

HER FIRST MONTH

A Happy Family

Minutes after birth! Mama looks like the bride of Frankenstein.










Reese was a tiny punkin after losing a pound after birth. She had to wear preemie clothes the first few weeks and be woken up to eat! She had lots of family surrounding her and we were all on baby highs.

We swaddled her often in this leopard print blanket to celebrate her inner Leo.







Her first nap with Dada.
