I am a Ladybug!

Reese says the funniest and smartest things, so I am going to try and document them more often so I do not forget. Maybe I'll make it a daily thing - to document what the kids did that day, but don't hold your breath. ;)

She has always loved ladybugs and recently MaMa Pat bought her a ladybug night light toy - see nap picture from last post. This was Pat's attempt to help us keep Reese in her bed and it does help. The ladybug lights up and shines stars and a half moon on the ceiling in either red, blue or green. Reese just loves it - and I must say it is a neat toy.

So on to my point ... Now when we tell Reese she is cute or pretty, she says, "I am not pretty! I am a ladybug!" So if you want to compliment her just tell her that she is a ladybug!

A few more Reese updates; she still insists on "buckling first" in her car seat. This means she buckles the top straps and then we snap in the bottom. Don't try and get around it or you'll have to start the entire process again. She also continues her stand to be independent (which means I get to practice my patience) - you just never know when you will do something for her that she wants to do herself. Don't worry she will let you know soon enough with a big cry and usually a few tears, "No, I want to do it!" This morning she wanted to take the banana off of the bunch. Unfortunately for me, I did it first, but she let me know soon enough. Now I know!

And for Lane's daily update - last night (at 12 weeks) he held his head up very straight while Matt held him. Lane has always been strong and continues to get stronger each day. It was cute to see him hold his head up high. Matt was so proud of him.

Did I mention how much I love his cheeks? OMG! They are the absolute cutest cheeks ever! Besides Reese's of course! I can't get enough kisses on them. Now Lane, you can't get any bigger ok! I always told Reese this, but she just kept growing. Speaking of growing, Lane is now too long for his 3-6 month sleepers, but the 6-12 are still a bit long.
