P.P.S. If you don't use Google Reader, there is another post below!

Casa De Reesie

I realized that I've never given a tour of the babe's room. Also, B just made me an awesome book shelf that I've been wanting. I'm now waiting for another one! So easy and so cute!

This is on top of her dresser, with her train letters, bunnies, and piggy banks! You can see the sky painted on her ceiling in the reflection of the mirror.

This is another shot of the dresser, with the quote I loooooove behind the picture.

Close up of the quote!

Perfect solution for a bookshelf when you don't have room for a standing one!

Close up of her books! I need another one, because she still has more books that won't fit!

RAD!I found this awesome lamp/shelf combo at Target while I was pregnant for $7!!!!!!! Best bargain ever!


I got this scroll iron hook thing {ha} at Hobby Lobby and spray painted it white. Hanging on it are the dress she wore home from the hospital, her bonnet made by Great Aunt Lolli, and her first smocked bubble! {I do plan on buying 2 pretty hangers, but these will do for now!}

Six Month Saturday!

Yesterday was the first Saturday of Reese's 6th month!!! I will be posting her "official" 6 month post later. In the mean time, I thought I would post about our Saturday {with NO mention of that lovely game. ahem.}


We went down to Babs and T's house to have a Mexican fiesta! Foxy Knoxy was there too, but once again, I did not get one single picture of him!


Remember a few posts back when Reese took a bath in the ducky bath and HATED it?? Well, now look! After a full day of spitting up (yes, at 6 months, this is still a constant thing!}, we decided Reese needed a scrub down!

We also took advantage of the beautiful flowers in the backyard and had a little photo shoot!
She is so curious about everything and how it all works!

One of my fav. pics!! Babs, how long will it take for you to save this, make it your desktop background, and print it out??

We even got T in on the action!

And yes, that is a bow on her head!!!

I'm back!!!

Well, I know it's been awhile!! I have been VERY busy at work, pulling long hours and going to far away locations! These are just a few pics from the past few weeks...as you can see Reese has been playing with some new toys and visiting lots of fun people! I don't have much time to post now, but I will be back later this week with the 6 MONTH POST!!!! Umm, it pains me to say that I have a 6 month old. Seriously, time has flown since April. Do you realize that in 6 short months, I will be planning a 1 year birthday party!!! OMG, I can't even type that!

Do you have a daughter?

Sister? Granddaughter? Niece?


Don't we wish all young girls could know this?


I pray my daughter will.

5 months!!!

{haha, this pic makes me laugh!}

Better late than never right? Reese turned 5 months on Thursday and I am just now getting around to posting...oh well! We played with Babs and T this weekend and I will blame them on the lateness!

This has been a very fun month! She is very sociable and loves to smile and screech {the beginnings of laughter}

We broke free of every sleeping aid {which equals growing up :( boohoo } and have moved onto the world of footie sleepers. I mean, have you ever seen anything more adorable??

She is still wearing mostly 0-3 months clothes, but occasional 3-6 month and definitely 3-6 month sleepers!

She is wearing size 2 diapers.

We went to the doctor Friday and she weighed exactly 14 pounds! I'm a little sad I can't do the percentages and stuff this month!

She has definitely begun to show interest in food, going so far as to attack my face when a food item/straw gets near! She has tried sweet potatoes, carrots, oatmeal, and rice cereal. I am not really pushing the food thing yet, but I have a feeling we will start implementing that shortly!

Mom and I got lucky and hit up a consignment sale this weekend. We picked up some new toys that Reesie was loving!

She can roll over and some days wants to. Other days, she could care less.

She sits leaning forward for about 20-30 seconds on her own! The girl realllllllly wants to sit and stand. When she is on her back, she pushes up on her elbows and strains to sit up!

She is still sleeping 12 hours at night. Also, she is not a great napper during the day. She fights sleep soooo hard {hmm, can't imagine where she gets that from!}

She likes playing peek-a-boo.

Still spitting up after every single bottle {sooo annoying} and drooling like a mad woman! Also, no love for the pacie, but would swallow her fist if she could!

She's been looking mighty cute in orange and blue these days!!

Reesie, I can't believe you are 5 months old! Where has time gone? In no time at all, I will be writing your 1 year post. I am not prepared for that! The sad thing is, it's happening right before my eyes and I can't do anything about it! I can already see that you have an independent and stubborn streak. That's ok for now, but in about 13 years, I'm gonna need you to keep that in check. I'm happy that you will let anyone hold you, but I am also happy that you light up when I walk in the room. Not to be selfish or anything :). Your daddy gets the biggest smiles out of you. I love how you bury your face on my shoulder when you laugh really big, as if you just can't even contain yourself!
You are not a cryer. Unless food is involved. Or you are put to bed against your will. {expect at Babs and T's house. Please explain yourself} I love our evenings together on our bed. You show me those gummy grins and stare at the ceiling fan.
We are so blessed by you, Peanutty! You have made us into parents! No one else has ever done that before! We will do everything we can to protect you and provide for you. We know you are on loan to us from our Father and for that we are eternally grateful! You are such a testament to the power of prayer and faithfulness! Can't wait to see where life takes you, sweet girl.
Happy 5 months!!!!
