Wow! I haven't been doing a very good job keeping up with things lately on the blog, so I'm going to use this post to get caught up.
The past month has been filled with more football, reunions, hayrides, a trip to Fredricksburg, a quick trip to the ranch, and much more...hmmmm, maybe that's why I'm so behind! Miss Reese loves to be on-the-go (and her Mama does too), so we try to keep it that way.

loving the slide and looking forward to many more days in the "jumper"
She is still not crawling as we all know crawling, but has figured out how to get around as long as she's on the carpet or tile. Don't let this confuse you with being mobile. She is a cruiser! She walks laps around the coffee table, or anything else she can reach and walk to. I'm still a bit leery of whether she will ever be a conventional crawler.
We have a great eater on our hands, although, I'm already worried we've created a monster. She would much rather have risotto and creme brulee versus Gerber ravioli or applesauce. She's got four teeth and two more on the way. She's been a champ at transitioning from the bottle...we are just two days in to no bottles, but before that she only had one before bed, so I'm pretty sure doing away with the last one will go smoothly too.
I've been putting off "baby proofing" my house since she hasn't hasn't been truly on the move, but I think it's time....especially since JP went in to her room this morning only to find our little lady standing up glaring at him from her crib.
Oh, and how could I forget Thanksgiving! Well, I know my husband would love to forget the game, but seriously, we have so many things to be thankful for, namely our Lord and Savior, and family and friends, who we love so dearly. Of course, Reese was one of the first things that came to my mind when I thought about Thanksgiving this year because she has truly brought such joy to our lives and we are so thankful for the past 10 months as we have watched her grow.
I know it doesn't look like it here, but Reese was so happy to see Will on Thanksgiving at the tailgate...it had been a while!
....and now on to the Christmas season...one of my favorite times of year!
Elle & Reese: already great friends!
with Leisha and Leslie at a much needed girl's night out at A Christmas Affair (note the tumblers of wine...the line to the bar was too long to stand in again...everyone was doing it!)
bath in one of the new sinks at the ranch and lovin' the washcloth!
