Reese is getting better

Reese is finally get over her first ear infection and cold.  We did not do anything this weekend since our sweet little baby girl was sick.  Jeff and I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic.  I loved this movie, it was very cute.  Reese did eat avocados and bananas for the first time.  I am not sure if she like them.  She kept making weird faces.  Reese still has not gotten a tooth yet.  At this point, I don't think she will.  She is sitting up for about 5-7 minutes on her own.  Tummy time is over now.  She knows how to immediately roll over.  I am hoping to take her swimming this week if she continues to get better.

Reese is sick for the first time

It is official, Reese is sick.  She has an ear infection and a cold.  Yesterday, she was coughing and had a runny nose.  Last night she was up all night crying.  My heart was breaking for my sweet baby girl.  I hated that she was in so much pain.  I called the doctor first thing this morning.  The doctor started her on some antibiotics.  We were planning on going to Dallas this weekend for a surprise party for Daniel but I don't think we will make it.  I guess this is what happens when you have a sick baby.  She will be on her meds for the next 10 days.  I am not sure how much sleep Jeff and I will get tonight but I know Jeff will most likely bring her to our room so we can keep a close eye on her.  He is so protective of his precious daughter.

Father's Day Weekend

We had a great Father's Day this past weekend.   Saturday we went to my parents Lakehouse.  Reese and Aunt Lissa went swimming in the lake.  It was her first time.  She had so much fun.  We also took her on a boat ride.  She fell asleep during the boat ride.

Sunday was Jeff's first Father's Day.  We had a great day.  Jeff and Reese wore matching shirts that said My dad rocks.  It was so cute.  We went to breakfast with Jeff's family and then we came home and hung out.  It was great.  Reese and I took Jeff to dinner that night and then we stop by my parents house.

Monday, Jeff and I took Reese to the zoo.  We had so much fun.  We took tons of pictures.  Reese loved looking at all the animals.  We bought her a white tiger stuffed animal.

Reese has been talking up a storm.  She has been talking non stop all day long.  It is great.  She is grabbing at everything in sight.  We are now I having to watch what is in front of her or she will grab it.

Reese is 7 months

Today my sweet little baby is 7 months old.  I can't believe it.  It feels just like yesterday she was  in my belly.  She has grown so much mentally and physically in 7 months.  I am shocked by all her changes.  She is now sitting up for a few minutes by herself.  She rolls over all the time.  She grabs anything in sight.  She loves her rattle and my hair.  She has discovered what her hands can do.  She puts her hands to her face and moves them every which ways.  It is the funniest thing.

Reese has been sleeping till 8 most mornings but today she slept till 9:40.  I was amazed and shocked.  Of course, I went and check on her every few minutes.  We are now down to 4 bottles a day.  She is taking 5-6 oz in her bottles now.  We have cut the afternoon bottle.  

I will have lots to write for Sunday's post since it is Jeff's first Father's Day.

Reese had her 7 month pictures

Aunt Lissa came to Tyler yesterday to take pictures of Reese.  We went to the Rose garden early in the morning before it started to get hot.  It was very nice weather and I was happy.  Reese decided she would take serious photos instead of sweet cute pictures of her smiling.  She would not give us smile.  When Aunt Lissa put her camera down she would start smiling.  It was too funny.  I think she did capture a few pictures of her smiling.  

Last night Reese and I went to Jeff's softball game.  I was afraid it might be to hot for her but we stayed in the shade which was great.  She really enjoyed watching her daddy play softball.  I am not sure how many games we will get to but we are going to try to go to as many as we can.

Reese is really starting to sit up.  Mommy bootcamp is paying off.  She can now sit for about 3 to 4 minutes before she falls over.  She still hates tummy time.  She now will roll over as fast as she can to get off her tummy.  I then go and but her back on her tummy,  it is a never ending cycle.

This weekend is Father's Day so I should have lots to discuss.

Reese got her first pair of shoes

Saturday, Jeff and I went shopping for Reese.  We finally got her a pair of stride rite shoes.  The only problem is she is still a size 1.  Her foot will not grow.  We could only find one pair.  The size 2 is still to big for her tiny foot.

I am still working on Reese sitting up.  I am becoming a nervous wreck about this subject.   Saturday, Jeff and I ran into a couple who informed us the son was sitting up at 6 months.  Reese will be 7 months this Saturday.  Reese is currently enrolled in sitting up bootcamp.  I am working day and night with her.  She will be sitting up within the next 2 weeks.

Sunday we had a few people over for dinner.  It was great.  Reese got to play with Emerson.  She is our neighbor's daughter.  I think everyone had a great time.  Jeff had the best time because his Lakers won the NBA finals.  

I will keep everyone posted on the progress of sitting up.  

Reese is sitting up sorta of....

 I haves lots of news to share,  this week I have been working with Reese on sitting up.  I found that if I put my iphone in front of her she will reach for it and hold herself up for about 30 secs to a minute.  Jeff and I got a a few pictures of her sitting up before she fell.  I love that she is starting to sit up.  She is growing up so fast.  I have also been making her do lots of tummy time.  She still fights me on it but she is doing the time on the tummy.  We officially have eliminated her 6 am bottle.  I am so excited.  She is now sleeping till 7ish.  I am loving it.  Reese is so cute when she wakes up. She will play in her crib for about 20 minutes before she cries out for me.

She is still eating all her baby food.  The other day I gave her squash and once again loved it.  I have not found a food she does not love.  She must get her eating habits from her daddy.  We still have no tooth.  I wish this tooth would hurry up and come in.

Last night,  Jeff and I went on a date.  It has been forever since our last date night.  My parents babysit for us.  Tt was a great night that we needed.  

Today, Jeff and I are going to take Reese shoe shopping.  We need to buy her some shoes.  She is getting to big.  I want to get her 3 good paits of shoes.  We might even take her to the zoo.

Grumpy Reese

For the last 2 days, Reese has been a grump.  It seems like Jeff and I can not make her happy.  She seems to be extra grumpy in the afternoon.  When she gets like this we either take her outside or lay her down on her floor.  She loves looking at her sky in her bedroom.  She lays on Aunt Lissa blanket that she made her.  She loves this blanket.  We still have no tooth.  I know it is coming.

Today, she slept till 8:15.  I am loving her sleeping in.  She woke up at 6 and then played and laughed for about 15 minutes then went back to sleep.  It was so cute.  We our now down to 5 bottles and she is taking 5 oz.  She eats her baby food about twice a day.  Today she had turkey and sweet potatoes.  She loved them.  I have not found any food that she has not loved.

I am hope to take Reese swimming this week.

New Chair

Jeff and I bought Reese her first chair.  I was so excited when it came from UPS.  It is pink with light green stripes and has her name on it.  We put her in the chair and she loved it.  I can't wait for her to sit and watch movies with mommy and daddy in her chair.  

Friday, Reese and I went shopping with Mallory.  We had a blast.  We took turns holding Reese in the dressing room while we were trying on clothes.  Jeff had to go to Dallas during the day and Reese was so excited to see him when he got home.

Yesterday, Jeff went and played some golf with my dad and then we went to see the lake house.  I can't wait for it to finally be done.  That evening Jeff and I had a couples shower to attend and Reese stayed with her Mimi.  I think everyone had a great day.  She also got to spend some time with Aunt Kerry and Uncle Lucas.

Today we are having a lazy Sunday.  Jeff has been playing with Reese and entertaining her.  I still think she is about to cut her tooth.  The past 3 nights she has slept till 7:30 am.  I think her getting up at 6 is a thing of the past.

Tummy Time

Reese and I have not being seeing eye to eye on tummy time.  Since the day she was born she has hated being her stomach.  Every time I put on her stomach she fights me.  Yesterday I decided she was going to do 30 minutes of tummy time.  Of course, we did not do all at once.  We did it 10 minutes at a time.  She fought almost every minute of it.  I am afraid we are doing enough tummy time.  All my friends tell me their babies did the same thing and they still sat up and crawled.  I know I have to let her do things at her pace.

I know my baby girl is about to get her first tooth.  She has been sucking on her pacifier non stop for the past 2 weeks.  I check every day for the tooth.  I know it will be here any day now.  I guess that is all for today.  Friday I am taking her to the kids water park.  It should be lots of fun.

Reese went to her first movie

Jeff and I took Reese to her first movie on Sunday, she saw Up.  It was a good movie for what I saw.  Reese got bored and we spent the last 30  minutes in the lobby but she did really well.  Jeff's mom went with us as well.  We all had a great time.

Today, Reese and I took Honey to her eye doctor.  After we dropped her off we went to Wal-mart.  We got a few things that we needed and of course I forgot dog food.  I am so mad at myself.  That was the reason we went to Wal-mart.  Reese and I then came home and she tried carrots for the first.  She really enjoyed them.  Once again we fought each other during nap time.  She maybe took an hour nap.

That seems to wrap things up for today.
