Dr. Tate on PBS!!!!

Here is a video of my future OB that is being broadcast on PBS nation wide.  Without him I likely wouldn't stand a chance at VBAC with my future children.  The clip is part of a show titled 'Religion & Ethics'... Doc T is an orthodox Jew.  I can't say I know much about the religion, but the man gets results.  His c-section rate is around 5%!  That's a far cry from all the other c-section loving doctors in this country.  I hope you enjoy the show!  (It's about 8 minutes long.)

1st Professional Hair Cut

We took Reese to get her 1st professional hair cut on Saturday.  I wanted to take her to a kid's salon for her 1st cut since I didn't know how she might react to the situation.  Turns out I didn't need to be worried at all.... Reese did wonderful!  She sat perfectly still and didn't cry or fuss, unlike most of the other kids who screamed and cried.  Reese laughed and talked the whole time.     

She liked the car cape..... this held her attention for a while.  

Then the hair dresser gave her a toy to play with.  

Wow.... this child has a lot of hair!

She thought she was something else in this chair.

                    The end result was quite stylish!

Peony fun

Reese loves to be outside.  She gets tons of outside time but the girl just can't seem to get enough.  Don't get me wrong.... we LOVE having a little outdoor enthusiast, but sometimes she tries to make a break for it.  When she figures out how to open doors we are going to be in trouble! 

My peonies have been in bloom for the last few weeks.  Since they are starting to go downhill I decided to let Reese have some fun with the blooms.  

This is Reese waiting by the door.... begging to go outside.

Wow.... It's May

It's been so long since I've posted anything, I don't really know what to say.  Reese is growing and changing every day.  She still doesn't want to walk, so if anyone has suggestions on how to get your child to walk... let me know.  She talks A LOT and is saying all kinds of things.  Some of her new words are bird, hot, cold, tick tock, and eat.  Here's some pictures from the past few weeks....

                  Reese loves eating spaghetti!  And yes... it's organic.

                                       She loves to look out the window.

Lee and I got tired of cleaning the little floor potty so we bought a contraption that sits on the toilet seat to keep Reese from falling in.  She loves to watch the toilet flush and is doing well at learning to use the potty.  It's sooooooo nice not having to change dirty diapers!
