Reese 6 Months

Our little Reese is 6 months old and a busy little girl.As you can tell from the pictures she is sitting up and trying hard to crawl. She is starting to babble and has the biggest, most beautiful smiles. She is eating lots of different kinds of baby food and doesn't seem to be picky.

Weight: 14.7lbs  23%

Height: 24in.  16%

She was sitting beside the mattress and managed to crawl up to see what bubba was watching. Haha

Big brother Cooper continues to be a big helper!

Cooper is 4!!!!

Cooper, you are such a mess and keep us on our toes! You have given us a run for our money this past year. You are very strong willed and hardheaded but have the sweetest, loving heart. You are so funny, smart, and witty. You bring such joy and laughter to our lives and make us laugh all the time. It has been a pleasure watching you grow over the last four years. We can't believe four years have passed and how much you have changed.

You weigh a whopping 32 pounds and are about 38 inches tall. You wear size 10 shoes and 3-4T clothes. The only shoes you will wear are your tennis shoes and your cowboy boots.

You are a VERY picky eater! Your favorite foods are: cheese, pasta, rice, broccoli, mac and cheese, hot dogs, fajita chicken and BLUEBERRY Muffins (your very favorite). Yep, that about sums up your menu.

This year you have been fairly healthy except for the allergies getting to you and having to take breathing treatments. You also fell off the bed while taking a nap and broke your collarbone. You were so tough and were moving it back to normal in a week. 

You know how to write your name and all the letters of the alphabet. You can spell mom, dad, and Reese and other simple words. You know your telephone number, where you live and your birthday. You love to find words that rhyme and read books. (esp about snakes, reptiles, and animals)

You also became a big brother this year and are so sweet and kind to Reese. We love watching you help take care of her and how protective you already are of her.

You like to ride your bike, play baseball, ride your F150, help mommy and daddy work, watch power rangers, octonauts, and Diego or anything that has to do with animals, play with cars, trucks, and your animals. 

This year we had your party early again so we could have a swimming party. You got lots of great gifts and got to spend it with lots of friends and family. Also, on your actual birthday mommy made you a birthday cake pancake and took you to see Finding Nemo 3D with our friends.

You hold a very special place in our hearts and our love grows stronger each and every day! God has blessed us with a WONDERFUL son and I pray God will bless you as you grow!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOPER!!!!!!!

Reese at 5 Months

 What a sweet and beautiful baby you are little Reese. Always so happy and smiling at everyone.You have been such a blessing over the last five months and bring such happiness and joy to our family. You are really growing and starting to do lots of new things: Rolling all over the house to get to what you want, pushing up on your hands and knees, can sit by yourself for a few seconds, reaching for everything in site and putting it in your mouth, can hold your own bottle,  put your paci  in on your own, blowing bubbles, talking and laughing, and give the best wet kisses, you are very observant or nosey, which ever you want to call it. ( You might get this from your Momma) You started rice at four months and didn't take to it very well so we waited till you were five months and tried again. Now you down it as fast as I get it in your mouth and are a pretty clean eater. You are drinking about five ounces, half breast milk and half formula. You are a little lightweight and weigh 13-14 lbs.

Bath time with Bubba

Happy Girl!

I like to eat my toes

Up on all fours

Love bath time:) She always tries to reach out and grab the water coming out of the faucets. haha

One of my favorite pictures! Walked in the room and Cooper had his arm around you telling you how to spell your name. He loves you so much!

Reesie Poo is Four Months Old!

 Reesie poo is Reese's nickname ( I guess Rice is too. That is what her cousin Leighton calls her) Her brother started calling her that just a few days after she was born. I think its so sweet! Reese is just the happiest little girl and such an easy baby. Even if she is dog tired she will not cry and still just smile as big as she can. She brings so much joy to our lives and we are so blessed!
Her stats: Drum Roll Please......
12.6lbs-16%
24 in-28%
Her brother was almost 3 lbs heavier and 2 inches longer than her at this point even though she was bigger than him when she was born. She is just so petite and dainty.Everyone says she looks just like Cooper.
We started rice cereal this month but only tried it for about a week and she didn't really seem to take to it so I think we will wait another month or so and try again.
She loves to put everything in her mouth and chews on it like crazy. We can't keep her in one place anymore, she is rolling everywhere and scooting a little. She loves to talk, smile, and blow bubbles. She was rolling over in her woombie so we transitioned her to a sleep sack this month and it took her a few days to adjust. Other than that she is a good sleeper.

 Trying rice cereal for the first time.

She like her bumbo but you can't really tell from this picture, haha

Reese is 3 Months Old!

Reese is already three months old! She weights about 11 1/2 pounds and eats about 4oz every 3 to 3 1/2 hours. She is still about a pound smaller than Cooper was at this age. She is very petite and dainty. She can roll over both ways now! She loves her hands and keeps them in her mouth all the time including when she is nursing and eating a bottle. Her reflux is a lot better but she still spits up a lot. It is easier just to leave her in a diaper all day or else she goes thru about 3-4 suits a day. She has some of the biggest most beautiful smiles that will melt your heart! I think she is going to be a thumb sucker! She took her first swim this month and loved it! She is a very happy and pretty easy baby thank goodness because her brother is giving us a run for our money! Haha!

Tummy time

Patty-cake is her favorite game.

Reese is Two Months Old

Reese turned two months on Monday! I know I always say this but time flies! She is a happy little baby! She has acid reflux but it is  alot better now that she is on Enfamil AR. I was solely breastfeeding at first but she was very fussy and in lots of pain so I supplement with the Enfamil AR and now she is so happy! I love to watch her streach and smile when she wakes up! I think this is my favorite part of the day! She is cooing and smiling a lot these days and even sleeping thru the night for mommy! We are all so in love with her and Cooper is wonderful with her. He loves to hug and kiss on her all the time!
Here are her stats:
Weight: 9 lbs 14 oz, 31%
Length: 22 in, 43%
