Look What I Can Do!!!

Reece started taking her 1st few steps the day after she turned 11 months old and since then she's been quite the mover. I even caught her walking out of the bathroom the other day while I was getting stuff ready for bath time. Since then her daddy has been working on getting her to throw her diapers away. As you can tell he's taught her quite well! Now if only she would put her toys back in her toy box after she's taken inventory of each and every one!

Family Time!



The last few weekends we've had family in town. It's been nice except for the extra pounds I gain. There's always lots of cooking when my sister is here. That's why you don't see her in the pics. She's busy fixing a feast while I'm watching the babies and the other kids are being kept occupied in the pool by their daddies. Anyway thanks April, Vinh, Ariel, Audrey, and Jake for coming to visit. We love you!

Mommy and Me at the YMCA!



I signed us up for a mommy and me class at the Y. Reece is such a good student unlike her mommy. Apparently I missed the part of parenthood where you're supposed to learn all the nursery rhymes.

The Next Step Before Walking!



In the last week Reece has been testing her balancing skills. She will cruise then stop and let go. We all clap with excitement including Reece. Sorry I know it's a bit blurry but it's real hard to get a shot of her standing before she decides to sit. We don't think it'll be long before she starts taking a few steps! Boy we are going to be in trouble! Especially since she has become quite the climber!

The 2nd Cutest Baby!



Okay don't take offense to the title of my post. Of course I'm going to say Reece is the cutest baby of all. She's my daughter after all! I'm biased but really she is the cutest baby. So you're wondering who is this other baby. It's my nephew Jake. So in order to take a peek yourself you are going to have to go to his blog....www.thehodgeskiddo.blogspot.com... Sorry! My niece Ariel took the most adorable pics on her camera! One is of Jake tormenting Reece by trying to pull a chunk of her hair out. Thank goodness she was born with a head full of hair! Then there's a pic of Reece retaliating. I can tell the two of them are going to get into some mischief when they get older. Oh did I mention he will be 6 months old on the 8th and weighs as much as Reece. Also thanks to our friends Elizabeth and Andy for taking these fun pics of Reece!
