Reese had her 18 month checkup yesterday. She weighs 22lbs (25th percentile) 32 in long (75th percentile) and her head measurements put her in the 95th percentile!!! No wonder she is so smart :)
She had one shot yesterday and she did very well. She cried of coarse but as soon as the nurse put the band-aid on she stopped and was ready for more goldfish. Watching your child get shots is soooo much harder as they get older. I can't believe when its time for her next check up baby number two will be here!! We find out in 2 weeks what were having. I think its a boy :) But as long as its healthy I don't care what God gives us.

When I got Reese's old swing out for when Kapri is here, Reese thinks she needs to swing in it sometimes...

 

We got to watch sweet Hadley Rae a couple weeks ago...

 

watching cartoons..

Reese and I walk up to the barn quite often and one day she got to ride the tractor with Austin...

Claire came over the to play with Reese one day and Reese LOVED having someone to actually play with.

 

It was hard getting all 3 of them to look at the camera at the same time

 

Reese didn't take much of a nap when Claire was here. I think she was too excited and when she got up she kept going in the room hoping she would wake up.

 

She thinks it's real funny to run from mommy

 

 

almost 17 weeks

 

 





These Boots are Made for Walkin....

We went to Pfi on Saturday and Reese got her first pair of cowboy boots. She loves them! As soon as she put them on in the store she was stompin around.

I also talked Garrett into going to Silver Dollar City that day. I wanted to go a while back but he said he wasn't going again until it was 50 degrees or less. Well guess what....it was 50 degrees!! :) He said I forced him to go, but he could have said no. We ended up having a really fun day together. It was harvest fest so there was lots of cowboy stuff there. We saw a man named Red Stegall, he is a singer and poet. It wasn't so bad. Garrett enjoyed it so that's all that matters. We also got to meet Buck Taylor (he was in tombstone and gunsmoke) He was a very nice man and he took notice to Garrett right off the bat. He was in the middle of talking to some other people and when Garrett walked by he immediately went to Garrett and introduced himself and started talking to him.

 

As soon as she started crawling and found the mirror she would always love looking at herslef in the morror

 

 

Some things never change.....She is ALWAYS going to our mirror and looking at herself. When we put something on her she goes straight there to see what it looks like

 

 

This picture is soooo funny!! She had her hands on her hips and was turning side to side

 

 

 

18 months

Our sweet Reesey bear turned 18 months yesterday. I cant believe how big she is getting. She's is going to seem even bigger when baby #2 arrives. I know she is my daughter but I think she is the sweetest little girl I know. She is so full of love and has such a sweet tender heart. I remember praying for her when I was pregnant with her that God would giver her a kind, tender heart full of love and compassion. And she has just that. I can be sitting in the floor and she will come up to me and put her small little arms around my neck and just hug me. It melts this mommas heart. She loves to give kisses all the time, sometimes I don't even have to ask for them. As I am writing this she just came up to me, looked at me and smiled, then gave me a kiss and hug. Oh I just love those moments. It's in those sweet moments that I cant help but thank God for, and to help me to remember those moments.Today when I picked her up from Mrs. Julie's, as soon as I walked in the door and she saw me, she got all excited and ran to my arms. Another melt my heart moment :) I think Reese may be a girlie girl. She LOVES lotion, chap stick, and she loves to play in my make up. She sits up on the counter and watches me, then when im done using a make up brush I give it to her and she rubs the brush on her face. She loves to wear shoes. She's pretty much in shoes all day long. When she gets tired if one pair she goes and gets another.

 She loves helping me in the kitchen, she also likes to help me put the laundry un the dryer. I give her everything from the washer and she puts it all in the dryer and she likes to help me sweep and mop.

 

We went roping with daddy the other night, we hadn't gone in a while because she always cries the whole time because she wants back on the horse. Luckily this time there was a young girl who let Reese sit with her on the horse. That kept her happy until she had to get off. I think daddy is going to have to get her, her own horse very soon. :)

I cant believe how big miss Hadley Rae is getting.....she's sooo cute

 

One of Reese's favorite things to do is play and jump on our bed. 

She loves to fall straight back....over and over

 

Today I wanted to snack on some green olives. I thought for sure Reese wouldn't like them......but she loved them.
