Reese is 8 months old!!

You're 8 months old Reese-e-Pooh! You spent the day at Grandma's house celebrating Christmas with her, Gg-ma, Aunt Nicole, Caleb and Kaileigh.

You've grown up so much this month. You're trying to crawl by getting on all fours and rock back and forth. You've also started waving at people and saying "hi". 

You were sick for the first time this month. The week after Thanksgiving you had croup and stayed home for three days. Then the next week you had an ear infection and stayed home for two days. You've been well for the past two weeks and then your nose started running today. Hopefully it won't turn into anything.
(Update: Friday I took you to the doctor and it turns out you have another ear infection)

You are still:

-wearing size 3 diapers

-wearing size 6-12 month clothes

- eating 3oz of breast milk mixed with 2oz of formula

- eating baby foods, now between 2nd and 3rd foods

You now of 6 teeth! The four on top all came in at the same time. 

You've been introduced to the sippy cup and recently figured out how to drink from it. 

Looking forward to all the fun stuff you learn to do this month!

Reese loves taking baths!

I've got a picture of Ryleigh wearing this same towel! Such a happy baby!
This is Ryleigh just before her Christmas Pageant at school. She's growing up so fast!

  Waiting for the Pageant to start.
In her spot already to sing! Her class did a great job!
One of our neighbors gave us this cute gift basket with yummy treats and stuff for cocoa! It was so cute I wanted to take a picture of it and Ryleigh wanted to be in it too! :)
A little something for Mommy and Daddy only
Trying sliced apples for the first time. She doesn't really like sweet things.

2nd of 5 Christmas's

 Sunday, Dec 16 we celebrated Christmas with Pa Pa's side of the family at our house.

I made a festive cheese ball! Meet Frosty the Cheese Ball.

  Our sweet girls! They are so excited for Christmas!
I meant for us to get a picture of the four of us and I forgot! Boo:(   Ryleigh was ready for us to open presents!

1st of 5 Christmas's

Sunday, Dec 9 we got together with Gramz's side of the family to celebrate Christmas.

Here's Reese wrapping herself up! What a sweet present!

Ryleigh woke up that morning covered in hives because of an allergic reaction she was having from the medicine she recently started taking. So Brandon and I took her to Care Now. Gramz and Papa went ahead of us with Reese so she could play with her cousins, Reagan and Jackson.
Having fun in the leaves.
Ryleigh had fun helping me open Reese's presents along with hers.
Reese sat with Uncle Ernie and watched all the present being unwrapped.   Reese really liked her toy from Uncle Glen-Wayne.   My pretty girls!   That night when we got home Ryleigh had broken out in hives and worse this time, even though she had started taking the new medicine to make them go away.
Reese was having fun with her presents!

Christine's 4th Birthday

Last Saturday Ryleigh was invited to her friend, Christine's, 4th birthday party at the Little Gym. She had a blast! It was just like her gymnastic classes.

When we arrived the kids were able to have free play in the gym. Ryleigh and her friends has so much fun running from one thing to the next.

Time for cupcakes!
This was the last thing she did before we left.
