She's working on it...

So although Reese is still not fully crawling at this time she's working on it. I would classify what she is doing as the military crawl...she's only doing it backwards...I think most babies use their arms and drag their feet...not my backwards baby...she uses her feet to push her and mashes her face into the floor...whatever works she's getting more places...maybe soon she'll figure out if she holds her arms up she can really get places....keep going baby Reese you'll figure it out.

Lots of cute pictures of my baby (and some other people too)

After a long weekend of travels we have LOTS of stuff to show everyone. Kyle and Megan got married (Congrats!) and here is our weekend summed up in pictures.
Rehearsal dinner...dress provided by Grandma (that's really Reese's great-grandma...she has good taste)


Reese and her Mom....

Ok, from here out the pictures are in no order what-so-ever, it takes too long on blogger to mess with that
Sister and me at the end of the night

Family shot
Reese and cousin Atlee on the mini donkeys
Reese and AL
This was one of the few times we were able to hang out together
Ryan wanted me to show everyone what he did with the sparklers at the end of the night. I'm so proud of him....

Reese really enjoyed playing on the floor.


Cousin Atlee...check out those teeth!
Family shot, times two.

Sister and Sean
He should look good as much as this damn thing cost

Gorgeous dress provided by the lovely MaryAnn Saving...who also has great taste

Not the best pic...My Mom says Reese looks like a troll doll in this...I look like I was sweating..oh I was
Yeah for AL
FLOWERS!!!! Cool
What happened when I would walk away from my sweet baby...sometimes she loves me too much
Who wears short shorts? Ryan wears short shorts.....Reese in her "I love Daddy" shirt on Ryan's birthday....

We love Reese!

Dressed up and going to Church...we are not total heathens
Another cute outfit provided by Mimi
Look at me Daddy!

Doing the Michael Jackson crotch grab
Yeah for playing in the toy bin
You know that scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom...where they ride the rail car to get out of the Temple towards the end of the movie...just picture Reese saying "Help me Mr. Jones, Help me"

We've once again added some videos for your viewing pleasure. Reese learned how to play

peek-a-boo herself now...instead of me putting the blanket on her head for her. Grandma remember to turn your volume up when you hit the play button on the bottom left hand of each of these images. :)

Reese jumped like this for about 20 minutes the other night. No wonder she sleeps so well at night.

Leslie and Sean's new pad

Leslie has officially moved out of my parents house. I think she had me beat on amount of time she lived free of rent but it all worked out in the end. Sean and Leslie got a condo in downtown Houston. She asked that I post some pictures of her new pad for the world to see. Enjoy...She also wanted me to inform everyone that this is still a work in progress since they only moved in on Saturday, so she has a lot more to add before it's complete.
Obviously this is the bedroom

Again...no need for explanation

hallway

kitchen

I suppose from what I can gather...the area between the kitchen and living room....it's all one big room but I think they are using furniture for room separations

living room

more living room

looking into the kitchen from the living room.

Ok...so much for "safe blogging"

Just Kidding...Seems as though to make a blog "private" everyone who reads it has to have a Google account of some sort. I saw red flags by doing this for obvious reasons, so therefore, let the comments from people who do not know me continue. Yeah for random people reading my blog and looking at pictures of my child...
Ryan is home, only to leave again next week. I don't know about you, but maybe I have seen too many Lifetime Original Movies here...could he be leading a Double Life?!?!?!?!? Keep your fingers crossed that Daddy Dearest keeps his promise and comes to the pool with us on Sunday.
These pictures are the latest update of Reese and her antics. She's really been rolling around lately, Daddy Dearest did stay home with her last night so I could have a well deserved Mommies Night Out...The MNO was scheduled with my Stroller Strides group and was a shopping party at Ann Taylor Loft. Worked out for me since I needed a dress for the wedding. There was a small contest where the winner would be able to receive a $50 gift card to the store by having their name pulled out of a hat (or bag in this case). The deal was: for every time you went to class in the month of May you were able to put your name in a hat. I went so many times that I was second for having the most names in the pot...so thankfully my hard work and dedication paid off and I happily won the gift card. I shopped till I dropped and then ran my ass off today in class like I do every other day. I'm down some more weight this week and working hard toward my goal. No pain no gain is my current motto...


What I look like when I make an effort....when my husband is not home and Reese spits up on me this doesn't happen....on my way to Mother's Night Out.

This is what Daddy Dearest does when he comes home... Once again my Mom (Celie) picked out an awesome outfit for Reese. This is probably one of my favorites because I am such a fan of color, and the polka dots. Nana and Pop-Pop got her this rocking chair and she really does love it. Thanks for the outfit Mom.

Grandma...below are some videos...as we have discussed before click on the triangle on the left side of the grey bar on the images below and the video should play. Turn your volume up as well. Nana move your cursor over the video and hit Enter...
