Being back at work has taught me to cherish the time I have with her during the evenings and on weekends. It's not that I took our time together for granted when I was on leave, but now I want to hurry and get to work, so I can hurry and get home. I want to be there as much as possible.
She is such a sweet baby and we absolutely adore her. Words cannot express how much we love baby Reese. She gets lots of hugs and kisses from her Mommy and Daddy every day. I am always telling her how much I love her. She is precious!
Here is what she has been up to lately...
Reese loves to grab and hold objects now; thanks to Daddy teaching her and helping her when needed. When she wears a dress, she grabs it and puts it in her mouth.
On Friday, my college roommate, Jaime, her husband Milo and their daughters Caroline and Hayden stopped by for a visit on their way to Galveston. We tried to get the girls to stay still long enough for a quick snap shot! It was a coincidence they were all wearing pink and green.
Reese can almost sit in her bumbo by herself. We only put her in it for a minute because she could not hold her head up for long. We joke that she has her momma's big head. There are pictures of me when I was little and my head was huge! Don't worry Reese, we think it's the cutest head we have ever seen.
Saturday night, Matt and I went to celebrate Lance's graduation from Sam Houston. Maylee and I enjoyed a cocktail before dinner. Grandma watched Reese while we were out.
Reese, pretty in pink!
Out for a Sunday afternoon stroll.
Reese swinging for the first time! She really only sat in the swing, but she did great!
Grabbing more toys. Reese is also becoming more mobile. Yesterday morning, she had scooted from one side of the bed to the other during the night. Then in the afternoon, Grandma said that she was playing on her floor gym and turned sideways and to the edge of the mat by pushing off with her legs.
She is so close to rolling over too. She gets up on one side and looks around. It'll be any day now.
Believe it or not, Reese pooped in the tub, shocking I know! So we had to take the hammock out and this prompted us to try giving her a bath in her tub while she reclines. Reese was splashing and kicking her feet tonight (sounds like she found another playtime)!
Playing with her Daddy and smiling big for Mommy.
Reese is talking (well, ooing and aaing) and making lots of noise too. We'll make sounds by rolling our tongue and she'll mimic us. I've tried to capture it on video, but she is camera shy or just distracted by the recording light. Every time I get the camera out she gets quiet and just stares at it. I'll keep trying!
Last update...Reese has also laughed/giggled a few times. It's always so random and not when we are talking directly to her. The first time it happened, I was carrying her in the sling and looking in the mirror. She saw herself and giggled. I can't wait until she starts giving us big belly laughs!
