Happy 9 month Birthday Reese

Today is Reese's 9 month birthday.  She is growing up so fast.  I can't believe how much she has changed in 9 months.  I truly enjoy every minute I have with her.  I am so thankful I am able to stay at home with her.

Today, Reese had her 9 month old check up.  She weighs 18 lbs and 14 oz.  She is 53% for weight.  She is 27.5 inches long which makes her in the 49% for length.  My baby still had a tiny head.  It is 17 inches and is 27%.  She did not have to get any shots today.  We were both happy about that. 

Reese holds her bottle

While Jeff and I were in Ireland, Reese learned how to hold her bottle all by herself.  I can't believe how grown up she looks while holding her bottle.  She is able to angle the bottle to get as much formula as she likes.  She loves holding her bottle.  Reese does not even want Jeff and I to help her.  She pushes our hands away.  She keeps a death grip on her bottle.  This girl has yet to miss a meal.  She loves her food.  My baby is growing up way too fast.

Reese update

Reese has cut her 2nd tooth.  It is right next to her first tooth.  Since Jeff and I have gotten back from Ireland she has been very clingy.  She has to be held at all times.  I guess she is afraid we may leave her again.  She still is not crawling but she is rolling everywhere.  She loves to play with her toys.  I love to watch her as she plays.  I will have to post more later.

NYC and Ireland

It has been awhile since my last post.  I have been super busy.  Jeff and I went on a solo vacation.  It was my first time ever to leave my Reeser.  It was very difficult.  We both missed her to pieces.  I am glad we got some time together and Reese was in great hands.  She stayed a few days with her Mimi and the rest of the time with Honey and Aunt Lissa.

Jeff and I went to New York City for 2 days before we left for Ireland.  I just love NYC.  It is by far my favorite city.  This was my 3rd time to visit.  Jeff and I really did not do the whole tourist thing.  We walked around the whole city which was wonderful.  We ate at a great Italian restaurant.  Jeff took me to Central Park and we took a carriage ride.  I have always wanted to do this.  We then ate at Tavern on the Green.  The food was great.  It was a short trip but I loved every minute of it.

Jeff and I went to Ireland with Sean and Amanda.  Ireland is a beautiful country.  I love the weather.  It was about 55 degrees everyday.  It rains a lot there but we never got any rain.  The people look like they are stuck in the 80's.  They are not known for there fashion.  Lets just say I did not spend a dime on clothing.  The women looked like they just rolled out of bed.  It was crazy how different they are from Americans.  They food was by far the worst food I ever had.  The meat was gross.  I really do enjoy my processed food in American.  We should all be thankful for that.  I usually looked forward to mealtime but during this trip I hated it.  I only ate french fries and garlic bread.  That was something they could not screw up.

The boys played golf while we were there.  The golf course was over looking the ocean.  Jeff was in heaven.  He loved playing golf in Ireland.  We went to the Cliffs of Moher.  They were amazing.  We also went to Cork and the Blanery Castle.  We had some good times but I think that will be my only visit to Ireland.  I have lots more to tell but Reese is wanting will post more later.

Reese got her first tooth

Reese finally got her first tooth.  It is bottom front tooth.  It is the cutest thinh I have ever seen.

Reese did not get fussy at all.  I am shocked about it.

Jeff and I are leaving Reese for the first time.  I have never spent a night away from her.  It is going to be very hard for me but I know we are going to get through this.
