Daddy's Girl!

Let's just say Chris and I have been spoiled when it comes to Reece sleeping through the night. We didn't realize how lucky we were until about a month maybe 2 ago when it all changed. I want to say it started with us going out of town, followed by a cold, then teething. She's gotten so active during the day that in the middle of the night when she wakes she wants to practice everything she's learned. I'll find her on all fours, rolling around and trying to pull herself up. It would be pretty entertaining except I'm trying to get some much needed sleep. Chris and I aren't much on putting Reece down to bed at a set time. Ideally it would be before 9p.m. but with having more daylight it doesn't always work. Last night she didn't go to bed til 10p.m but she did sleep all night(not a sound from her, not gas, nothing) and didn't start stirring until 645a.m. then I fed her and she continued to sleep until 830a.m. Are we back on track? I sure hope so. BTW did I mention she has 2 teeth now!

What A Day!!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day so we took advantage of it because the days of 70 degree weather won't last long in Houston. As you can tell Reece is having a ball. We had our friends Elizabeth and Ms Cindy over and Reece decided to try on E's sunglasses. They were the perfect fit! Then later in the day we took Reece for her very 1st bike ride! She loved it! So what's new in the Hartley household?? Reece can say DADA!

Milestones!

Since our last post Reece really is standing on her own. Looks like we are going to have to lower her crib again. She is able to pull herself up in her crib and pack n play. She has also managed to pull herself out of her bumpo. I haven't got to see it first hand but Chris tells me she will rotate, pop one leg out, then the other. WOW!! I really have to keep an eye on her and start baby proofing! BTW did I mention she has a tooth! I noticed it yesterday. It is just now poking out of her gums. What's next????

Look Mommy and Daddy I'm Standing All On My Own!

Reece is getting to be such a big girl. Yes she is standing all on her own....but she didn't get there all by herself. She had a little help from her mommy and daddy...but still I'm amazed at how strong she's getting. BTW did I mention that everyone in the household has come down with some kind of cold. I wanted to blame it on allergies but since it seems to be passed down from Chris to me and now to Reece, I'm sure it's something contagious. I'm taking her in to the doc today since she seems to be coughing all the time. I'll update the news later but got to go to get her there on time!

After!

Ok you're probably wondering what is this before and after about. Well if you look real close Reece has a diamond stud in her earlobe! We finally got her EARS PIERCED! Chris gave me the okay a couple of weeks ago and you'd think I would have jumped at the chance and got it done by now but I'm a procrastinator. Oh I forgot to mention that I almost chickened out but as you can see from the pic Reece was a champ and received a bravery certificate for getting it done. Not that she really had a choice. hehe. She cried while the lady pierced each ear but by the time her daddy threw her in the air and played with her she forgot all about why she was crying. BTW did I mention she is a daddy's girl!

Before!
