A Mini Vacation . . .

Reese spent the weekend with Grandma Fredda and Grandma Ruth as Matt and I took a mini vacation to Sarasota, Florida for Melissa's (Matt's cousin) wedding. Lauren and Scott joined us and we had a blast! We left early Friday morning and returned on Sunday afternoon. I must say it was a relaxing weekend. We had a great time hanging out in Sarasota and catching up with Matt's family. We got to sleep in Saturday and Sunday morning! And on Saturday, Lauren and I shopped while the boys watched college football at a local brewery. I'll upload some pictures from the wedding as soon as I get them from Scott (my camera died as usual).

Here is how Reese spent her weekend . . . . .

Nice walks to the park to swing!





Practicing her pulling up / standing up skills with a little help from Grandma Fredda.




Getting into things she shouldn't be . . .



Playing!

Matt and I could not wait to get home and scoop Reese up! We missed her sooo much! I even took today off of work, so I could spend time with Reese after being gone all weekend. It was nice!

We were trying to get a picture of her outfit here . . . Reese would rather play.

Even though we were only gone for two nights, Reese seemed so big when we got back. Maybe it takes a few days away to realize just how much she is growing!

I just love this shot!

Reese either has a cold or allergies and this started after we left town. Mom didn't get much sleep as Reese was up both Friday and Saturday night. I know Mom enjoyed every minute of it even though she must have been exhausted by Sunday afternoon. Thanks Mom!!!

One other update, the bumper pad is back on Reese's crib. I put it on and take I it off and had decided she was big enough for me to leave it off (it's such a pain to change the sheets; actually I'm getting faster each time) until today after her nap. Her head must have been against the rail because she had two dents in her head when she woke up. I was shocked to see such a sight and a little worried. It's back to normal now, but I've put the bumper pad back on her crib. Reese, the little stinker, was already untying it as soon as I finished. ;) See, I know I can't leave it on much longer or else it'll be a toy or a ladder to climb out of the crib. What's a Mom to do?
