I am crawling!

On Wed, July 21st, Reese stayed home from school because of a fever from the night before. You would never know the sweet baby was sick because she had so much fun playing all day. Well, Scott and I were working on our computers while Reese was on the floor with ALL her toys and out of no where the little princess started crawling!!!!!!!!!!! We are in trouble. I am still in shock that she is crawling at less then 7 months. Time to baby proof the house : )

6-1/2 Months and becoming more active by the minute.



Our Baby Reese is trying her hardest to stand up. Her teachers think she will walk before she crawls. I think she is going to love yoga...... she is doing the downward dog position all the time.

She is also loveing her hands and feels, shakes, pats everything. Sometimes she just puts her hands in the air and twist them back and forth, kind of like she is Miss America and waving to everyone. I wonder if she is seeing if her hand will make noise like her rattle. It is precious.

Another one of my favorite things she does is now she will lift her arms in the air when I get close. She is ready for her mama to hold her and love all over her.

A new game we started to play is "Peek A Boo". I have never seen anyone get so excited. She just laughs and smile non stop.

We are now eating fuits and vegetables and drinking about 30 ounces of milk daily. So far we like all fruits, but our favorite is still squash and sweet potatoes....mmmmmmm.

One more thing to add to her 6- 1/2 month update.......

Her teachers at school give her the most play time on the mat becasue she is so active and likes to move around alot!!! The only thing is is that they have to move all the other kids because she will run them over and poke at them like they are toys. Like I said, she loves to feel and touch everything! Her teacher also said she starts to cry when she is ready to be held and nobody is paying attention. I am not sure why, we never hold her at home.....ha!!! We just love this little precious bundle of joy and cannot get enough of her.

Happy 6 Months Reese












Happy 6 Months sweet baby Reese!
Oh how we just adore you!!!
You are now 27 1/2 inches long (95%) and 17.4 pounds (70%)

What we did the week of your 6 month birthday:
We took your first beach trip to Myrtle Beach with your Nanie, Papa, and Uncle B.

What you are doing now:
You are laughing and smiling all the time. You are such a happy baby!!
You are now enjoying solid foods, Gerber stage 1. You like all the vegetables except for peas. We are just now starting on fruits. You are still drinking a lot of milk....around 35 (sometimes 40) ounces. Some days mama has to give you one formula bottle because she can't keep up.
You love to swim in the pool with your float. You are not to excited about the beach, but you had a great time sleeping on Uncle B while he walked the beach looking for women : )
You are constantly moving around. You like sitting up and being on all fours. It will not be too much longer before you are crawling. You like to hold all your toys and shake them. You also like to feel and scratch everything. You can put your paci in your mouth, but for some reason not at night when you are in your crib. You still like to look in the mirror and always smile at your self. You are taking two long naps at school and short naps on the weekend. You are sleeping for almost 10 hours every nite. We put you down around 8pm and you get up around 6:30 and then off to school at 8:30 am until 4:00. Sometimes we play hookie on Fridays and have mama baby day which of course is my favorite. You also love to be thrown in the air and be up side down.
We love you so much sweet baby girl!!! Thank you for bringing so much joy into our lives!
