Two steps forward . . .

Reese had more "firsts" this week! She ate bar-b-que with Daddy and Grandma Ruth while I was out of town working in Lafayette and on Thursday evening while I was at book club she took two steps towards Matt all by herself! She did it again for me the next morning too.

Since I was out of town Monday night, I had Matt snap a few pictures of Reese for me so I could see what she was up to.

Mmm...Reese's first bite of brisket.

Not too shabby.

Don't care for the potato salad though.

That was delicious! I cleaned my tray.

After taking two or three steps for Matt and me on Thursday night and Friday morning we kept trying to get her to do it again to no avail. She will stand on her own and walk while holding one of our hands, but she hasn't taken off on her own again. No worries, I'm in no particular hurry. She'll be taking flight before we know it, and then we'll have our work cut out for us.

Walk to Mommy Reese. :)

We met Grandma Pat, Grandpa Joe, Uncle Chris and Uncle Scott for breakfast at Empire Cafe this morning. Reese was playing with Super Puppy before we left and of course I had to take a picture of her "outfit". Big surprise!

Reese showed off her walking skills after breakfast.

It was quite chilly (45 degrees) this morning. Burr!

This is a lot of what we did this weekend . . . walking with Reese.

Like I said, we aren't in any hurry per say, but we do like to help her practice.

Matt also taught Reese how to turn the light switch in the dining room and kitchen on and off. He is really good a thinking of new things to teach her.

On a final food note, Reese also ate Salmon for the first time on Saturday evening and she did NOT like it. Too rich, oily and fishy for her taste. I had to laugh when she grabbed a glob that I had pushed aside (knowing she did not care for the fish) and promptly spit it out. It's like she wanted to give it one more try and realized it was a bad idea. I wiped it entirely off her tray after that.
