On the Friday, the day before Karsyn's birthday party, we went to Lupe's Tortilla Factory to celebrate Nolan's 30th birthday party (Nolan was my rooommate from Angelo State and is Wendy's Baby Daddy . . . i.e. the father of Karsyn). It was good to meet up at Lupe's and catch up.
Adrienne was in Lafayette, LA last week from Monday through Friday. I finally had time last week to put Reese's bouncer together. Here is a picture of Reese in her bouncer (she likes to hold the plastic chains and jump up and down).
On Saturday, Adrienne, Reese, and I headed out to the Cypress area to celebrate Karsyn's birthday bash. This was going to be Reese's first time in a swimming pool, but the problem was we didn't have a bathing suit for Reese. Fortunately for Reese, her BFF had plenty of bathing suits and WHAM!! Reese had a pink bathing suit (I wasn't a fan of the two piece bathing suit . . . because I wanted to set the tone early that Reese is to be conservatively dressed at all times . . . . I really don't mind. . . . but I thought that was the fatherly thing to think). Here is a picture of me feeding Reese in her bathing suit prior to the commencement of swim time:
Here is a picture of me placing Reese in the swimming pool. As you can see, Reese is thinking long and hard about whether she likes this swimming "thing." Reese lasted about 45 seconds before she let it be know that she wanted out. It was overcast outside and the water was probably too cold for Reese . . . but we shall try swimming again when it is nice and hot outside and Reese can enjoy the cool water.
After swimming, Reese thought it would be fun to sit in the swing. Here she is sitting in the swing looking at the other kids playing.
Here is a picture of Reese's BFF and Reese's BFF's momma (aka, the baby's momma, aka, Wendy).
Here is a picture of another one of Reese's BFF (yes it is possible to have multiple BFF), Isabella. Isabella is the daughter of Mark and Valerie Jones. Mark was my roommate from Angelo State.
Here is a picture of Reese looking over my shoulder. You have got to love those big brown eyes and big cheeks.
This picture makes me think Valerie and Reese are having an intense conversation about some geopolitical event (perhaps the Russian invasion of Georgia?) . . . . or maybe she is giving Valerie the Vulcan death grip (yes Shae . . . I said the Vulcan death grip. . . . inside joke from one of my former work colleagues at Ernst & Young).
Here is a picture of Nolan and Reese (Nolan is the Baby Daddy of Karsyn).
Adrienne likes this picture becuase Reese is wearing her party hat and tutu.
I don't know how they got so many kids to stay relatively still for the picture. . . but somehow it was done.
Ditto.
Something tells me that whenever Reese looks at her Daddy with those brown eyes . . . that I will melt and do whatever she asks.
After the party we went home and had a relaxing evening. On Sunday morning we woke up and went for a walk. Here is Reese taking a Sunday morning stroll.
As we were walking through Monticello (that is the part of West U that we live in), we decided to eat breakfast at Buffalo Grille (which is the local hang out for breakfast). We walked back by the house and ditched Reese's stroller. I picked up Reese in my arms and we walked two blocks to eat breakfast. Here is a picture of Adrienne and Reese standing in line to make the breakfast order.
Reese decided she wanted to eat too. So we mixed up some breakfast for her and fed her before our food arrived.
Got to love that cereal and pears.
Here is a picture of Reese and myself walking back to the house. She likes to smile and look at Momma.
We turned around so momma could take some pictures during the trip back home.
Momma and Reese took a doze while I mowed the yard.
Sound asleep with Momma.
Reese was very well behaved this weekend. She didn't scream at Lupe's or Buffalo Grille. Additionally, she let multiple people hold her without screaming "Stranger Danger." Hopefully this is a sign we can go out to eat again in the near future.
