5 months!!!

I can't believe she's alreadty 5 months today. Time is flying by and she's growing so fast. She's just loving observing and taking it all in. She loves to feel new things and discover the world around her. It's so fun to watch. So funniest thing, My sister and her boys came down for the week. When they got here I went to pick up her 10 month old boy and Reece threw a fit. The tantrums are begining, Fun for us :)


Here are some pics of her poor breathing treatments. She's getting better at them. We figured out that the best time to give them are when she's asleep. They must be working though, either that or the antibiotics are because she's feeling so much better!

Pneumonia:(

So she kept coughing so hard that anything we tried to feed her came right back up. When i got to work yesterday morning i went and asked her doctor what we could do to help. He said he needed to see her again because she's had this going on so long and she's not getting better. He listened to her lungs. The tops were still clear which is good but her bases weren't; pneumonia. And he thinks she may have a little sinus infection too, poor baby:( So continuing breathing treatments and started on antibiotics. So we're praying she'll start improving soon.
Still all smiles :) And she's just loving her feet lately. It's hard to keep her off her back

Sick Baby :(

Sweet little Reece has been sick for over 2 weeks. We thought she was just teething but then she started with a bad cough :( I talked to her doctor while I was at work last friday and he told me to bring her in, so even though I didn't want to be the over-protective mother, I brought her in. She weighted 15 1/2 pounds, not struggling with gaining weight :) But he said her lungs had some junk in them but that fact that she's coughing is a good thing. He said to watch her over the weekend and let him know how she's doing Monday. So on Monday i called and gave him the update. She was coughing a lot harder now and was running a low grade fever, so he started her on breathing treatments. The poor little thing doesn't like them too much! It just breaks my heart to have to hold the mask to her face while she's screaming and tears are running down her cheeks :( It's so hard having a sick kid. But she is seeming to be doing a little better now. Still hates her treatments but they seem to be helping. She's so sweet though. Even though she feels terrible; watery eyes, runny nose, cough, fever, she still manages to smile and be a happy baby! She's so dang cute. She's figured out that she likes to roll over and just loves to move across our whole family room. We've had to move our furniture around so there's room for her to roam. The other night I laid her on her blanket and ran to grab something in her bedroom and when I came back she was half way under the table, on her belly with her arm around the leg talking to it. She just loves it. She'll purch herself up on her elbows and just talk, but then she starts to cough and usually ends up puking but then she's back at it. Here are some action shots :)



Nick's buddy King came to visit Reece. He hadn't seen her yet and was so excited:) He wanted a picture with his 'family'.





All tuckered out :) She's just loves having her arm or a blanket over her forehead and eyes. Cutest thing :)
Such a happy girl :)

baby blue eyes :)
