Our Magic Pop w/Nutella kick is still on...
Weekend before last, Matt and I went to my friend Linh's wedding on Saturday. We had a great time, and I enjoyed catching up with my Hitachi girls.
Me, Sandra, Linh, Jamie and Lynn
The next day, we took a trip to Lake Conroe to celebrate Aunt Sharon's birthday. Reese's favorite part was opening/closing the back door and swinging back and forth on this bench.
This week, Reese managed to find more shoes to try on. That and putting on my make up are the most girlie things she does. For some reason, she doesn't like her coat or jacket and lets us know about it when we put them on her. She also doesn't like layers (hence the coat aversion) so jumpers are out.
She dug my boots. This is the smile from ear to ear I was telling you about in a former post.
She is also very fond of the camera, meaning she wants it and generally gets distracted when I pull it out to take her picture. You will see this in the video too.
So this morning, she took pictures (with our help) of me, Daddy and herself. The pictures of Matt and me were not postable (i.e. too goofy).
I almost thought Reese was over her layer issue today because she let Matt dress her in the cute outfit that I put together. She wore it long enough to go to the grocery store and then was like take off this dress, these boots and these tights. She ended up in a comfy tee and velour pants. Can I really blame her? When I am at home, I want to be comfy too.
Later this afternoon, we went to a birthday party for one of Reese's classmates at Pump It Up. All of Reese's friends from school were there. It was fun for the kids and a great opportunity to meet some of the parents.
Reese was a little shy at first, but jumped right in before too long.
She didn't go up the stairs or down the slide completely by herself, but we didn't mind because it was more fun to join her. I always forget what a workout I get at these places.
Reese didn't eat the pizza, but she liked the cake.
And here is the video!!!
She has just recently started calling us Mommy and Daddy instead of Mama and Dada. Today she started rattling off the names she calls us and our familiy, she said "Mommy, Daddy, Gigi, and Mawmaw (for Grandma Ruth)."
Earlier this week, she was flipping through her photo albumn and said "Grandpa" when she saw the picture of Sam holding her. It made me so happy to hear and brought a tear to my eye.

Reese turned 22 months yesterday. It's hard to believe she will be 2 years old in 2 months! Man, our baby girl is growing up.
We saw the speech therapist for a follow up on Thursday, and Reese is at 24 months with her language comprehension and 21 months with her speech. She surprised us with some of the things she knew and commands she could follow; like how to place the flower on Daddy's shoe. She knew more body parts than I was aware she knew. It was amazing to see her mind work as she pointed out objects in books and physically.
Her vocabulary increases everyday and she tries to mimic a lot of the words we say. Especially when we are reading books. We are very proud of her and thankful to her teachers who teach her something new each week.
