Catch Up and the Shores

I went through my camera today and found a bunch of pictures and videos that I have not shared from the past month. Thought I would do a little catch up on it all.

This is a video of Henry and Reese from about a month ago. They just love each other so much and Henry is constantly trying to impress her. I love how long it takes him to kiss her in this one.




When Bill's Mom and Sister came Henry made them all play in a band. It was pretty cute!



Here is a picture of my sister with all three kids at the park! Can you say Supermom!


Here is Reese in her muscle shirt. She loves siting up so we have been using our bumbo.


When I feed Reese Henry sometimes entertains himself by being a baby too!


My smiley little love enjoying the outdoors in her bouncy!


We played with Henry's friend Macadam at Microsoft and had so much fun. These boys are a perfect match. They ran, biked, hopped, jumped and just did the boy thing! It was hard to get a picture of them still.




We also ventured to the beach this past weekend with Grandpa Steve, Auntie Anna and Lucy. We had lots of fun and Lucy has grown so much in just 2 weeks! She is a roller now and is sitting up too! She has a winning smile and charms everyone around. The kids had so much fun playing with Grandpa. Henry misses them all a bunch!

Growing and Cousin Time

So today was the little Reester Bunny's 2 month check up and boy was the doctor impressed with her growth...she is 14.1 lbs and 24 inches! That is 4 inches and almost 5 lbs of growth in just 2 short months and puts her in the 97th percentile!



She is healthy as can be and rolled from her tummy to her back at the doctor's office. I don't expect her to do it again anytime soon because I think it was one of those everything came together at once moments, but this little gal is quite strong! When she isn't sleeping she is smiling and talking. Her coo's have become part of our house soundtrack along with Henry's "honk honk" penguin imitation! She is constantly crunching up until we lift her to her feet so she can practice standing. She is just the sweetest and we love her!


Last week my sister and my sweet little niece came for a visit. We had so much fun! Eva just turned one and was walking all over the place. She and Henry had a great time and he was often guilty of loving her a little too much! He was constantly hovering and grabbing her and it was pretty sweet. The best thing was when they were at the park and a little boy passed by Eva and Henry made a bubble around her with his body and told the boy to be careful!

Eva is precious and is such a sweet girl. She is super curious and just plain happy! She fell in love with our dog Olive and constantly kept rolling on her! She also has such an appetite that we started calling her Joey "the Jaws" Chestnut (popular food competitor). Bill and I were so amazed at her appetite that we experimented and she took down a lemon slice (rind and all), red onion chunk and salad!!

We had a great visit and Henry was convinced he was going home with Auntie and was quite sad when I reminded him he lived here with Mom and Dad and Reese. He keeps looking for Auntie in his bed because all he wanted was for her to spend the night in his room!

My sister got a new camera and took lots of amazing pictures. Here are some below and the rest are on the picture site.

I Will Save You!

Nana, Auntie Anna and baby Lucy came for a visit this past weekend and we had such a wonderful time! First of all little Lucy, who is 6 months, is the sweetest pretty little baby girl. She has these sparkly eyes and loves to chat and chat all day long. We are just in love with her and got some sweet pictures of her with her cousins. Henry and Reese also had quite a good time with Auntie Anna and Nana.

Hen just wanted their constant attention and they gave it to him, which he loved! Reese just enjoyed all the love!

Henry loved playing with Nana because she was game for anything. They rode elevators, pretended to sleep, called each other on the phone and he spent a good amount of time saving her! The saving part was his favorite because Nana brought hi the most awesome fireman jacket ever! It was so cute to see them together and I know Henry wished she could of stayed forever (me too)!

Henry was also convinced that we were hiding Auntie Anna in our room and was quite disappointed when she wasn't in our room waiting for him each morning...it was pretty cute and funny.

Reese continued to be a sweet little gal who was happy to just hang out. She got lots of snuggle time with her Auntie and Nana and they just loved her. Nana calls her the "icing on the cake" and I couldn't agree more! Nana also got her the cutest tutu and cupcake hat as well as tons of sweet outfits, one of them she even made herself!!

Here are some pictures from the weekend
