4 MONTHS

Love this, such a happy little girl!

Saturday Reece will be 4 months old. I can't believe how fast the time is going and how quickly she's growing up into a beautiful little girl. Last Wednesday she had her doctor's appointment. She's doing so well, She's growing wonderfully!! She weighed in at 14.7 pounds (75%) and measured 25 inches long (75%). Nice and above average! Her head only measured in the 55% which is very unseamonslike but we're happy :)v She got the official go-ahead on solids. The doctor said she shouldn't have any problems with it considering she's growing so well :) We tried it again last night and she did great! He said by her 6 month appt she should be eating two meals a day consisting of a fruit or veggie and cereal. I don't think she'll have a problem with that:) She's growing like crazy! She rolled over for Nick yesterday. So glad he was able to see it. But then once again she got stuck on her belly and didn't know quite what to do, so we had to help her with her way back over.

just loves her walker




Out with dad

Already loving the TV :)

Firsts

She rolled over yesterday morning!!! I couldn't believe it. I was so proud of her:) I just dropped her off at my mom's before I went to work. She as being laid down onto her back and as soon as she hit the floor she rolled over to her tummy. She then laid there not knowing what to do, flapping her arms and legs. She hates being on her tummy so she started fussing and I helped her roll back to her back. Nick was at work so he wasn't able to see it but I'm so greatful that I did :) That's been my biggest fear being back at work, that I'd miss big, key milestones but it worked out great!! Then last night she slept from 830 until 7. At 10 a gave her a top off before I moved her into her crib but it was wonderful:) I couldn't believe it! I had to go check on her because I was in shock that she was still quiet. When I went in I noticed she was sucking on those cute fists. So I guess they do come in handy to keep her quiet longer :)

She started holding her bottle. It's soo cute. She's been into grabbing lately but I just think it's the sweetest thing to watch her wrap her little fingers around her bottle. Tried to get a shot but was a little late but you get the idea :)

Labor Day Weekend Fun

The weekend started off with a baby shower for Nick's sister Jamie. She's due the first part of October and they're naming he Kendall. Reece will enjoy a little cousin so close in age
Daxton (Nick's cousin's boy) who is in daycare with Reece, is quite the fan of her. It was so cute. He just kept rubbing her belly, staring, and talking to her. I'm glad she already is making friends :) Pam says the other kids just love her. She's the new toy, but Pam has this wonderful rule where they're only aloud to play with her feet. The hands are off limits because she eats them. Thanks Pam :)
Thought this was a classic

After the shower we went to visit Grandpa Lindley. Reece just started eating her fists a week or so ago. Not quite sure how I feel about it yet but she sure enjoys them. Now that she's somewhat figuring out how to grab things, she'll grab ahold of the binki, fling it out and insert her fists, what a joy. There are times when I'm searching for quite sometime to figure out where it launched to, good thing it's bright pink :)

She sure loves her Great Grandpa


We were also able to go to the Bees Baseball game! Nick's family was nice enough to invite us. It was fun although a tad on the HOT side. Reece did surprisingly well considering she's a personal heater to start with. Once we got her out of the sun and had the wind blowing threw her hair she was enjoying life :)
This was our attempt to keep her cool before the idea of moving to the shade game to mind. The personal umbrella and hat just didn't cut it. We even tried the mini battery powered fans, but that only lasted so long :)
Yes, that is the umbrella from Grandpa and Grandma's white elephant

Monday Nick, James, Morgan's Dad, Phil went golfing. Morgan, Reece and I rode along in the carts. It was such a nice day, not too hot and not too cold. Reece is such a good kid. She didn't fuss much at all. She loves being outside.
Hard to see but that's Nick and James walking and Morgan following behind
She was so excited! She just loves the wind in her hair
Nick putting while Phil and James watch in suspense
She was all tuckered out after

Growing Like Crazy

I can't believe how fast our little baby is growing up. She so fun! Earlier this week I tried some rice cereal in her bottle to see if it would suffice her more so she could sleep through more of the night. Didn't notice a difference, sadly :( So a few days ago I thought we'd just go ahead and see how she does with it straight. As you can see from the pictures she wasn't the biggest fan but we've tried it for three days now and I think she's starting to get the hang of it.
She's excited to try it out :)



It was so funny, she'd take a bite and pull this bitter face but then start talking and smiling

Not quite loving the taste of it
She sure enjoys her walker :)
I just love this one! Little Nick :)
