It's February already???!!!


I've haven't been doing a very good job this year at keeping the blog updated.  We have been so busy.... and so much has been going on.  Lee's parents came down for a spur of the moment trip 2 weeks ago.  They hadn't been down to see us since last July (I think).  Reese enjoyed spending time with her Barron and Poppy.

                                                 Reese and her Barron.

                                                      Reese and her Poppy.

                             Reese wearing hair bows that Barron made.

Reese is mobile and is in to EVERYTHING!  She doesn't crawl.... she scoots on her little hieney.  It is quite funny to watch!  (I will try to upload a video of the booty scoot later.)  The doctor said they are seeing more of this style of movement in babies: they think it is due to the popularity of hard wood flooring, which we have a lot of in our house.  She pulls herself up on anything she can get a good grip of and then tries to cruise around.  Reese loves to pull every item off a shelf, empty a box, and leave a trail of toys all around the house.  She has also become quite the little thief.  Whenever she can, she tries to break into her diaper bag to steal Puffs (Puffs are little snack bites of flavored whole grains....that she LOVES)    

This is a picture of her doing the booty scoot.  Her arms go up in the air and she pulls her feet towards her.... and she hops along.  The cloth diaper also helps, I'm sure, as it gives her rear some extra padding.  

                                          Reese caught stealing Puffs.

                                                   Reese after her nap.

                                             She loves the water!
