Turning the BIG 3-0!!!

Today I turned 30; I don't feel 30, but I have now arrived on the 3rd floor. I spent the day with Reese as Matt had to work on the Q.





Here is Reese in one of her new outfits from her Aunt Jamie. We received a box full of goodies for my birthday and Reese hit the jackpot!











We celebrated the 1st anniversary of my 29th birthday last night at Stag's Head pub.





If Melanie Carmichael would have been there she would have said, "You have a baby...in a bar!" (I know I don't need to tell Reese Witherspoon fans that quote came from her movie Sweet Home Alabama)





Yes, I'm guilty as charged, I took my baby girl to my birthday party in a bar. :)





Reese and Grandma hung out with us for an hour or so and then Matt's parents took them home. Reese was tired, so she didn't last long. At least you can't smoke in a bar anymore so the air was clean.











Dancing on the tables at 6 months old!














We had my favorite strawberry cake from RJ Goodies!





I've got news bigger than me being 30!




Scott and Lauren are engaged! He proposed last weekend in Boston and they plan to tie the knot next spring. We are so happy for them. Welcome to the family Lauren! (We had to get a picture of the bling!)





I keep trying to get a picture of Reese's two bottom teeth, but it's been challenging. You can sort of see them in this shot.







We bought Reese's highchair last weekend, and she loves it. She does really well in it too whether she is eating or playing. She loves to eat, and she knows to open her mouth when I bring the spoon towards her. Smart cookie!








Grandma Ruth took this picture of Matt and Reese while I was out of town in Lafayette last Tuesday for work. This was one of my b-day gifts and it made me cry for obvious reasons (and because I had not seen him in official uniform).




Is this not the most precious photograph of Reese and her Daddy?



Reese is soo big, I have to keep buying her more pj's. You may remember this one that she had as a newborn. (I'll upload the newborn picture soon)
