Two and a Half

July 5th Reese turned two and a half and on July 2nd Reese became a Big Sister!! It is amazing to see how wonderful Reese is as a big sister to Reagan Grace. She kisses on her all the time and makes sure she has toys and is covered up. She also is on diaper duty and gives us diapers and wipes as well as throw away all the dirty diapers : ) Grandma Boo, Grandpa, Mimi, Paw-Paw and Uncle B all came to help the first couple of weeks. Reese was certainly entertained and she didnt seem to mind a new addition to the family. In fact she wants to see and hold her baby sister all the time. While grandma Boo and Papa were visiting Reese learned so many new things and had the best time. They came to the hospital everyday to see Baby Reagan and to give her lots of kisses. They skipped around the house singing skip to my lou. They sang zippy do da, ring around the rosie, this little light of mine..... They played under the covers with flashlights. They watched bubble guppies and Dora. They went shopping everyday and of course Reese got presents all the time for everything : ) They went to the park and Barnes and Nobles and bought lots of books to read. They played hide and go Seek and so much more!!! Daddy and Papa had a great time swimming with Reese and going down the water slides. It was Reese's first time going under water and liking it. Mimi had fun watching Scooby Doo with Reese and holding sweet Reagan. They played games and read books. Uncle B took Reese to the park and had fun entertaining her. He had a good time keeping up with her. Paw-Paw had fun chasing Reese and scaring her. he also had fun taking her for a ride in the G8 Reese enterained us all with her singing and dancing!!! It was wonderful to have so much help!!! we are blessed to have such amazing family and friends. a little more about our sweet Reese.... She now weighs 31 pounds and is TALL. We need to measure her soon. She goes to bed around 8:00 and gets up at 6:00. She still takes a nap for at least 2 hours. she loves school and it is fun to watch everyone give her hugs when she leaves. She is talking up a storm now and has a sweet personality and is pretty witty. She still has melt downs when she doesnt get her way and the only thing to work is time out. She has her first denist appt last month and did super. no cavities. Daddy does a gret job helping her brush her teeth. She loves to swim now in the big pool. Daddy wants her to jump in the pool but she is not a fam. She just wants to float around.

First "Real" Haircut

Reese had her first real haircut yesterday. Daddy has trimed it twice and I had to get Reese an appt before he went after it again. We were trying to grow it all out but she refuses to wear barrets and bows and her bangs were hanging in her eyes. She did really great!! and stayed soooo still to my surprize : ) Some silly things she is doing now. *In class the other day everyone approached her when she got to school and she said "get off, get off!" (She is moving into begginer Two class on June 4th) *For several weeks now she has been calling her grandparents. On Memorial Day she said "Mama, go get me the phone please I am going to call Papa." *when she eats something she loves she says "it's delicious!" *She loves to watch Dora the Explora *She is reading books to herself and to her babies *She still LOVES to sing *She loves to dance to Wild One (of all the songs......)
