11 Weeks and growing....

Our sweet baby Reese is now 11 weeks old and we can't believe it. She is growing by the minute....
Things Reese really likes to do now are take baths and get her hair washed. Unfortunately, mommy and daddy don't do this as often as they should. She is also loving to stand up and play on her activity mat! She loves to grab on to things now (including mom's hair) as well and making tons of sweet noises. She loves looking at herself in the mirror and is trying her hardest to suck her thumb. She is smiling all the time now and it makes our hearts melt!!!
Mommy and Reese love taking a nap together every afternoon. Mommy is going to desperately miss this when she goes back to work NEXT WEEK!
We had our first ..... Reese slept through the night March 26th and 27th. Hopefully, this is a trend that stays!!!! The funny thing is that we put Reese down in her crib one way and she ends up turned 180 degrees. She is a mover and a shaker!!!
We are also trying to sit in our Bumbo that Grandma bought for us!
It is unbelievable how much joy and love this little girl is bringing our family!! We Thanks God every day for her!!!

What we did this week....

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit!!

Firsts.....

Reese is recognizing us and we can't get enough of this!!!
8 weeks...First shopping trip with mom and grandma was to Target and Swaddle after lunch at Jason's Deli. She slept almost the entire time. She was wide awake at Target and did so good while everyone oooed and awed.
We also went to the park and daddy held her the whole time. First time she has stayed awake while outside.
At 9 weeks ....First trip to the mall for 6 hours!!!!!!!!! She slept the entire time while daddy held her in the orange Baby Bojrn. We did take a lunch break at Chikfilet and she smiled at all the people sitting next to us!!
10 weeks old……….We did our Taxes on St Patty’s Day . Precious Reese Slept through it all!!
At 11 Weeks March 26th..... REESE SLEPT THROUGH THE ENTIRE NIGHT!!!!!!!! (10-8:30)

What Reese likes to do.......
She now loves to play on her activity mat. She smiles at the octopus and holds onto all the toys!! She loves the colored chains Nannie got her for Valentine's Day.
She is very alert and likes to look around all the time!!
She LOVES to talk (like your mommy, Grandma, Nannie, and Great Aunts)
She loves to stand and holds her head up really well.
She is sucking on her hand and trying your hardest to suck her thumb. She almost has it !!
She also kicks so hard. She will be playing on her activity mat upstairs and I can hear her stomp the ground when I am downstairs in the kitchen. We wonder what her favorite sport(s) will be. She is incredible strong!!!!
She Smiles all the time now and makes the sweetes noises!!!!

We love to take long naps together every day!!!
