6 Months

Half a year....already!?....seriously?  Miss Reese reached the 6 month mark on Thursday and we headed to the doc on Friday for her 6 month visit.  She is still a little chunk, but not keeping up in the height category the way she was.

Weight: 17 lbs 5 oz (80th percentile)
Height: 26 inches (55th percentile)

She, of course, has a few new tricks.  She started rolling over on her own a couple of weeks ago, but doesn't do it much.  I guess she would rather just stay on her back or fuss long enough on her tummy until someone picks her up or turns her over.  She is a champ at sitting up on her own, and loves to sit and play!  We started cereal about a month ago, and have just recently added some real stuff to it.  She seems to love it, but I'm sure I'll have more to post on that later.

Last week, I taught her the tootsie roll.  Yep, exactly what you are thinking..."to the left to the left, to the right to the right, now slide, slide, slide...." but her favorite is "dip, baby dip, come on now dip, baby dip".  This brings on quite the number of giggles and laughter, whether I'm holding her dancing around or simply dancing in front of her.  I'm sure I'd be laughing too, watching this crazy mama dance.

She continues to be the apple of our eye and we just love watching her grow up more and more everyday!  It is truly amazing!  Here she is lately.

I'm sure you can all relate...you hear it time and time again, "they grow up so fast" and "love every minute because it goes by so fast".  Everyone who has ever uttered these words is absolutely right!  I cannot believe that Reese is already 3 months old--time really does fly by when you're having fun.

Speaking of fun...Miss Reese is more fun everyday.  We see a little more personality out of her everyday and quite honestly, she cracks us up!  She is quite the chatty little baby.  It will be interesting to see what she talks about once she actually has a vocabulary, because I can only imagine what she intends for all of her interesting sounds to be as they are today.  And I swear she is growing like a weed!  JP and I look at her some days and see noticeable differences from the day before...it's wild!  She really is putting on the baby chub and I love pinching that sweet meat! She is also learning new tricks everyday.  Last weekend Honey taught her to sit up on her own in the Boppy and boy is she proud little baby! She also loves sitting in her highchair and watching whatever I have going on in the kitchen...and tells me all about it, too!

Along with her 3 month birthday (last Thursday), Reese also experienced another first this weekend--her first sleepover (without the 'rents).  JP and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary on Friday.  Our cousins (and friends), the Beverly's, were also begging us to babysit, so it was perfect timing.  We dropped Reese off around 1 pm on Saturday and didn't get her back until 2 pm on Sunday.  JP and I stayed in town, but sure enjoyed a beautiful afternoon and evening around the ATX hitting up a string of places we had never been to--it was a blast--more to come on our destinations a little later.  Reese enjoyed watching the Beverly boys' baseball games on Saturday, attending their school carnival and more baseball on Sunday--thank goodness she likes to be on-the-go!  We really enjoyed ourselves, but it sure was great to have our little lady back home on Sunday!

Here are a few pics of the little lady lately...

We had Reese's 2 month checkup today...my how time flies!  She is long and lean weighing in at 11.5 pounds and 23 inches long.  We have been battling her reflux and are now on our second medication to try.  Beyond the reflux making her uncomfortable, she really is a great baby.  I think her favorite place to be is in her car seat, considering it makes her upright enough to feel some relief.  It sure does make it easy to go-go-go..which is really all we've done lately, so that is a plus!  She's really getting into the interacting stage where she smiles, coos and laughs at us when we talk to her (videos to come soon)...it is truly one of the best things to see that beautiful smile and it just makes my heart melt.

We had all of her vaccines done a couple weeks early since we are headed to Atlanta on Wednesday.  We figured we should be on the safe side for her first plane ride.  I'm saying my prayers that she does well and is not "that parent and child" that I always used to be so frustrated with on my plane rides and tuned out with my iPod.  Oh, why are we going to Atlanta?  Well, we are filming a car seat installation and demo for Graco on Thursday.  I will be sure to keep you updated on how it goes and the finished product of course, but it's going to be one like this and this that I've done in the past.  I'm looking forward to the trip and seeing some of my work friends while I'm there, too!

Here are some of my favorite recent pics of my lovely little lady.
