Outside With Buster

We finally got some pictures with Reese and Buster yesterday - there aren't many times when Buster will get too close to Reese so we took advantage of this one. Reese is so interested of Boone and Buster and will open and close his hands for them when they are around. He loves to watch and pet them. He got a pretty good hold of Buster's fur yesterday but Buster didn't seem to mind too much!

Market Square

Momma and Nonna took me to Market Square on Saturday to go to the Dogwood Arts Festival - I'm sure this would have been fun and all but it was freezing. I got a few quick pictures with Jack and that was it! Maybe next year I can go back and get my face painted.

Book Worms & The Park

Last Friday Momma took me to Book Worms at the library with Navy and Jack and his cousin! I loved it! There was a lady that sung and read to us and let us play with toys. There were babies in there that were my age and some a little older so I had fun staring at all of them. Jack's cousin tripped and fell on me and I banged my head on the carpet and only cried for a second - I didn't want to cry long in front of all my new friends! I hope this is a regular thing that mom starts to take me to on Fridays. After that we went to the park for a picnic and to walk some laps around the track since we were all taking a nice afternoon nap!

Meeting My Cousin

I got to meet another one of my 3rd cousin's this week - she was so cute!! Momma kept going on and on about how she couldn't believe I was that small just a little over 4 months ago. I was so interested in her and ready to play but she just wanted to sleep!! I can't wait until she comes back in town again so we can play together!

The Camper

Momma took me to go see Big Daddy & MeMe at their camper today - daddy was fishing so she said we needed to get outside and enjoy the sunshine too. I liked the way she was thinking! I had so much fun up there - I could hardly even eat because I was so interested in everything that was going on around me! I played with my toys on a pallet that MeMe made for me, went looking for cows with Big Daddy, swung on the playground and then rode my car around. I love being outdoors and I can't wait to go up there again!!

Happy 6 Months Birthday!

Riding the mower before my doctor appointment!














This is what teething does to your shirts....slobber slobber!

Reese had his 6 month checkup yesterday and boy did he ever put on a show! He was hilarious! He showed the nurse and doctor how he loves to blow bubbles, smile, and make really loud noises to get everyone's attention. He was a riot! He tore up all the paper on the exam table and of course tried to get it in his mouth. He had a few shots and cried for about a second and was over it! He weighed 16lbs 8.5oz. which is the 37th percentile and was 25.5 inches long which is the 25th percentile. The doctor said he is as healthy as can be and is ready to start fruits! The doctor also looked at us to see who Reese favored and he said moi!!! Ha, I loved it...no one ever says that!
Here are a few things that Reese can do at 6 months old:
-Anything and everything goes straight to your mouth
-You just started in the past few days opening and closing your hands constantly to try to grab stuff
-You are starting to reach for things and can easily be distracted now with toys if you start to cry
-You took a nap in your crib for 2 hours - we are going to gradually get you to start sleeping in there at night. Your daddy and I both know you are probably ready but it's hard!
-You recognize the people you see all the time and your face lights up with excitement
-You love it when we blow on your neck and belly - it cracks you up and gets you to laugh out loud most of the time
-You have the cutest high pitched laugh and sweet little cries - I hate to hear you cry but the face you make always cracks me up!
-You are so squirmy now - I'm sure you will be crawling soon
-You have finally gotten some hair - not much but it is definitely growing
-You hate bedtime - you have the same routine every night - you cry like crazy when you are getting sleepy. Generally after 7:30 you are done - this is the time you start getting sleepy and start trying to fight going to sleep
-I sing you twinkle twinkle little star every night when you get fussy and it puts you to sleep every time - I have no idea what it is about that song but you love it and it puts you to sleep on the spot
-You love all the veggies we have given you and eat really well - even the green veggies
-You still love your feet - they are pretty much your favorite toy - you are so interested in them
-You are pretty tough to be just a baby - you fall over sometimes, hit your head but you never really cry
-There are definitely times when you only want your momma and daddy and no one else - I like those times!

You are an amazing little boy - we can't believe you are 6 months old! You are changing every single day. You make us better people for just having you in our lives! We love you little man!!
