Organized Confusion: Tailgating, Walking and Fun...Oh My!

Our trip to College Station...to Kingwood...and then back to College Station was a BIG one. Last Tuesday she took a bunch of steps out at the park after Stroller Strides but was still a bit leery about walking on her own. However Friday night at the Halloween Festival we went to Reese went crazy. She pretty much walked for an hour and a half all on her own. She took a few spills but I would blame it on the costume and lack of shoes. Saturday at the tailgate she was running down the sidewalk chasing dogs...hence the desire for a new puppy to keep Chewie company.
She really let it all out in Kingwood. She walked EVERYWHERE and I can officially say she went from beginning walking to mastering it in just a few days. What a difference a week makes is very true in her case. She was running around Mom and Dad's house all week. Needless to say I was exhausted.
This past Saturday at the tailgate marked yet another day of walking and running (at times) and thanks for "Uncle" Jess and his super cute dog Dat, Reese was exhausted yesterday. We also learned that after being in the car for three hours Miss Reese wants to get out and walk...so the last hour of the car ride back home from College Station was a bit rough.
Since we've been home I think she has done laps around the house at least 300 times. She walked all day today...the kid who normally stays up until 8:30 at night was OUT at 7:05. Enjoy the pictures. Chewie is confused..when we left Corpus Reese was still on all fours. As of today she is chasing Chewie down. Sorry Chewie...life as you know it is over (again)

Sara had a little lamb

Happy as a calm at the Trunk or Treat

Hanging out at St. Joseph's Trunk or Treat...we even ran into Reese's former day care teacher

My little lamb's ass...

Depressed because she had a loosing lotto ticket....

How gambling addictions start...a mother of a 13 month old allows them to play with lotto tickets all day long. Glad to know I am supporting her new vice

All the walking around at the tailgate party, plus waking up at 5 a.m. (damn time change) made for one very sleepy baby. She passed out on page one of her book

Playing outside with Nana

Ringing the doorbell

Nana put Reese to work...cleaning the patio furniture

Kohl's gets BIG time points in the awesome department. The family bathroom has a mini potty for those little tots who are just learning how to use the potty.

They get even more cool points for the chair with harness for those of us who have little walkers...this was AWESOME...Strap her in and I can use the bathroom in peace...and not have to worry about her trying to play in the toilet water while I wash my hands. ALL bathrooms should come with one of these suckers on the wall.

She knows she needs the keys to unlock the door. Lately the things she picks up on is starting to amaze me. Guess I better work on the amount of curse words I say throughout the day...
