So back to Reese...she is doing so much now! Including saying new words like: More, Bucket, Outside, Walk, Eyes (while pointing to her eyes) and more consistent Mama and Dada. Uh oh is still a favorite!
~Weekend of June 26, 2009~
Matt finally got back to Houston after being gone for two weeks. It didn't take long for Reese to warm back up to her Daddy after being gone for so long. Here is on his "vacation."
Matt spent all day Saturday with Reese and on Sunday she went swimming for the first time at Gigi and Grandpa Sam's. She loved it, but insisted that Mommy hold her the entire time. We have this cute float toy that she wanted absolutely nothing to do with. So we splashed and jumped and swirled around while she held her ball.
She let Daddy hold her once, so Gigi could snap a picture.
Reese and I usually go to Kroger on Saturday morning and this trip was extra special because the check out lady gave her a balloon on our way out. This was her obsession of the day or should I say weekend.
~July 4th Weekend~
On Friday, we took our first trip to the Children's Museum. It opened at 10:00 and we arrived at 10:30 along with every other toddler in Houston. The place was packed with a line out the door. Luckily it was in the shade and moved fast!
We found the Tot Spot and Reese took off.
She really enjoyed playing in the back seat of this car. It was full of boys, but she didn't care.
Then she found one she could drive!
The wall flowers intrigued her too.
As well as the biggest light brite ever!
The slide was steep and smooth making for a fast decent.
We didn't even see half of the toys before it was time to head home for lunch. We will definitely visit again!
Friday evening, we along with Chris, Scott and Lauren went to Aunt Sharon's for fireworks. We munched on Miller's burgers before heading to Conroe. Delicious!
On the way to Sharon's, Reese danced in her seat (in between Scott and Lauren) moving her arms up and down to the beat of the music Daddy was playing.
Sharon's friend let Reese play with this neat red, white and blue sparkler light.
Reese loved the fireworks which launched across the lake at Bentwater. They were just far enough away not to scare her.
It was so hot outside and we hardly had a breeze, so Reese and I sweated our bottoms off. She is her mother's daughter in this respect. As soon as she steps outside, she starts perspiring and her cheeks get red if she is out for any length of time.
After the fireworks show, we headed back inside to cool off and listened to Ike play patriotic songs on the piano.
Sharon and Stelle, Ike's wife.
Ike, the Piano Man.
On Saturday, we went to Grandpa Joe and Grandma Pat's for swimming and bar-b-que.
Once again, Reese would not let anyone hold her but me.
After lots of swimming, Reese and Daddy enjoyed strawberry shortcake.
Bubbles!!
On Sunday, we celebrated Brady's 2nd birthday at The Little Gym. It was a hit!
Reese and Brady gettin' down!

~Week after July 4th~
Matt found this neat computer game for Reese. All she has to do is hit any key and a bunny will appear. If she moves the mouse over a bunny it will disappear.
She is so big! Sitting in the chair all by herself!
Going through Mommy's gym bag is way more fun than getting dressed. Notice the sandals.
The past week she has been obsessed with pushing her Chicco stroller around the house, down the sidewalk, you name it. I even spent two evenings pushing her around the house in the stroller. She insisted, so we played!
This lead me to realize she needed a Reese size stroller which we picked on Saturday.
Of course, she loves it! I also bought her a baby doll to put in it...she is not interested in the baby (yet).
She does like to put Super Puppy, books, sunscreen, etc. in it though.
She pushed it down the street yesterday and then decided she wanted Mommy to carry her home. Daddy got to carry the stroller and Super Puppy back home.
Sometimes Reese likes to sit in her booster rather than her highchair. I have a feeling we'll be retiring the highchair soon.
~Gigi's Birthday, July 12, 2009~
We celebrated Mom's birthday on Saturday night with dinner at Carrabba's followed by Crave cupcakes.
Reese crawled in my lap (so sweet) when Grandpa was doing this breathing treatment. Sam is doing well by the way...still fighting as we like to say. We have had a couple more hospital visits, but that is to be expected. Your continued prayers are appreciated.
Reese and I shared a strawberry cupcake. It was devine.
