Father's Day!

Matt was out of town Father's Day weekend, so Reese mailed him a card with this picture. I was hoping she would hold the card which says "Happy Father's Day, I love you Dad," but I was only lucky enough to get her to sit beside it while I quickly snapped a picture.



Saturday morning, Reese and I went to the park before it got too hot. This is becoming the norm to beat the heat.



She discovered the tricycle and loved it. Her legs are not quite long enough to push the pedals, so I steered and pushed her when she was not looking. If she noticed I was helping, she would move my hand away to steer herself.




On Sunday, Reese and I met Matt's parents, Chris, Scott and Lauren for breakfast. Afterwards Reese and I baked a hearty casserole for lunch at Mom and Sam's.

Reese sat in the kitchen chair like a big girl. She also wore the same dress as Mother's Day. Maybe we'll make it a tradition. ;)




Reese had a grand time at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Sam's gift was a scrapbook (and all the fixings: stickers, scissors, tape, colorful paper, etc.) with pictures of Reese at school along with themed pages for each piece of her artwork. The theme at her school changes every two weeks, so we will have a lot of art to add.

Later in the day, Reese decided to hang out in the fridge while I worked in the kitchen. She loves the fridge! Her latest thing is to grab yogurt from the shelf and hand it to me letting me know she would like to eat it.

I finally caught her in time to snap a picture of her crawling under the night stand. She was going for the radio wire, but found her ball under the bed while she was at it.

She loves to sit and here she is sitting on the chair/step stool I used as a kid. My initials ANR are carved in the chair back.

Later in the evening, we took a nice walk.

And went back to the park. Reese found the mower and cut the gravel.

Yogurt...this was the key to getting her to feed herself. Her yogurt kick started when I was eating some and shared it with her. We did this at dinner at few nights. She liked it so much that I figured she would feed it to herself. All I had to do was give her a spoon! Now she is hooked on both yogurt and feeding herself.

She likes big spoons too.

I think I've mentioned how she loves her shoes, so much that she wants to put them on after her bath.

I can never resist a cute sleepy picture.

And finally, she has discovered her love of straws and cups. This entertained her for a good while on a Friday afternoon.
