Reese

Reese is growing so fast, Jesse just keeps saying "she's growing too fast, I want her to stay small," but we both know that's not gonna happen, she's gonna just keep on growing. I'm really anxious to see her do new things like crawling, talking, playing in the bath, walking, sitting up, going in the swimming pool, etc. but I also know that I will miss her being so young and small and sweet. We try to catch a lot on video so we can always go back and remember when she was so young. She is starting to reach out and grab things now and she has discovered how much she loves putting things in her mouth, and she's a major drooler. Reese and I are going to be going up to Indianapolis, IN next week to stay with my mom (me maw Walsh) since she's up there for work because Jesse will be in the fields (hopefully) and working late, otherwise we wouldn't be going, leaving daddy by himself. He will miss us I'm sure but not as much as we would miss him while he's working past dark everynight.
Reese looks a lot older in this picture while she looks at her book

Reese has learned to put things in her mouth and likes to chew/slobber on them


Reese holds her head up really good now although she still isn't too fond of tummy time. She likes when we hold her in the air, her legs stick straight out and when she's on her belly on the floor, she does the superman with her legs and arms in the air


Reese has on her new outfit that Aunt Cassidy found for her but I'm afraid it's already too short on her. It fits fine except for the length, and the hats are a good fit, we were in need of some sun hats to shade her face when we go outside.

first time in the Bumbo seat

Reese is still growing and doing so many things. She loves to stick out her tongue and blow bubbles and she has started blowing zerberts, she'll even imitate us doing it sometimes. She loves to sit up and look around and if she can't she gets mad and cries, that's why we thought we should try to the Bumbo seat, she is holding her head really good now. She loves the Bumbo seat and she can sit there for quite a long time by herself just looking at her hands and chewing on her fist. That's another thing, she has noticed her hands, she is totally fascinated with them. Now she's working on her hand and eye coordination, she hasn't quite learned to reach out and grab things yet, we'll have to work on that. The picture where my dad is holding her is a couple of weeks old but I though it was really cute, we were playing cards and she was helping him out telling him which card to pick.

Reese went to the doctor Tuesday for her 2 month checkup and she weighed 10lbs 8 oz. and she was 22 1/2 in. long. She is growing like a weed and is very healthy. They said she is 25-50% of her weight and 50% of her height. She has to go Tuesday to get her first shots, I'm dreading it. Last week Reese had a watery eye (as you can see in the picture) but the doctor said it wasn't anything to worry about it would go away on it's own and it has already.

Church outfit

Reese is about to outgrow this cute little outfit we've had long before she was born. I wanted to make sure we got some pictures of her in her adorable outfits before she outgrows all of them so this is what she wore to church today. We were lucky to catch a smile on camera. She actually smiles a lot when we talk to her, but when you get the camera out, she stops.

More bath time!

Reese is getting used to baths now, as long as she stays warm, she enjoys the warm water. And she has always loved getting her head washed.

Easter Sunday

Reese was such a doll on Easter Sunday in her Easter dress. She got to meet a lot of family for the first time at the family get togethers. It was a long day after a night of not so much sleep, but we managed.

Our first family photo

Reese is starting to hold her head up really good now, although she did really good at that right from the start, she is just always getting stronger. We caught a picture of Reese sleeping with everything totally stretched out, she seems to be pretty comfortable. Not much wakes her up unless it's really quiet or she's hungry.
