Summer

So since this last post we have been very busy. We have been back to Utah for a wedding and family reunion. Then we came home to Texas packed up and headed north. We went on a big road trip to see the grandparents. We went to Iowa then to Michigan then back to Iowa and then we headed back down south to Atlanta, our new home. Needless to say we had a busy summer. Annabelle (this is what we have been calling our Reese its her middle name) met and played with a lot of her cousins. For the most part she was so happy and did great with so much transition. Just a few hiccups in her sleep patterns which have worked themselves out.

We took a lot of PICTURES from our road trips. These were some of my favorites but there are way to many to post all so you can see the rest HERE.

We've been in Atlanta for a little over a month now and we are finally starting to feel at home. Buggy (also a name we call the babe) is finally comfortable enough to roam the hallway alone. Which I can't decide is good or bad. And might I add the is roaming on two feet these days. She started walking in between Christopher and I about a week before she was 10 months. Now she is walking better and getting braver in her distances everyday. She just needs some teeth to go with that walk. We are still waiting on those.

It was nice having Christopher home with us for 3 weeks before school started. We went down to Florida to see his brother Ben and his family. We had so much fun and took buggy to the beach, which she loved so much. We also had my cousin Tyler and his family come for a weekend and we got to meet there little Camden who is the same age as Annabelle. We went to a Braves game and the Coca Cola museum with them.

(She loved playing in the sand and water)




Coca Cola Museum.


Braves Game. Turner field is awesome can't wait to go to more games here!
Here are some more PICTURES from Florida and our weekend with Tyler and Lynae.

Lately . . .

So Reese is 6 1/2 months now. She is getting so big. Her last stats were 19.2 lbs and 27 inches long. She still has rolls for days and she is still the sweetest little baby. She is sitting all on her own now and rolling all over the place. I am sure she will be crawling soon. She chews on anything that she can get in her hands. Still no teeth but I think they are coming. she loves when music is playing and she laughs all the time. We have been so busy since the last post, so here is a recap in pics.

Reese and I went to Utah for Scrapbook weekend and got to see family and friends in Utah. We had a lot of fun. Then my Grandparents came to texas for a week to spend time with their family in Texas. More Pictures from this trip here.

Christopher turned 27 and we ate one of the best cakes I've ever made!!

We celebrated Easter with the Zepp cousins. We will miss them so much when we move this summer.

After Easter Reese and I took another trip, this time to Michigan. We went to help my parents move from their hose in Saginaw to a new house in Midland. It was kind of sad packing everything up but this new house will be so much fun and new memories will be made there. More pictures from this trip here.

I'm 25!!!
Now we are home for a while and are loving this Texas Spring. Trying to get outside and enjoy the nice weather while it is still bearable. Texas summers are not fun. I am looking forward to a summer of not being pregnant though that will be nice! The babe is growing so fast so we are just trying to enjoy everyday with her. Here are a few pictures from Lately. And here is a video Christopher took of her the other day. It is pretty sweet. I love the play by play Christopher is whispering in the background. He is a great dad it is fun to watch him with her.

Weight: 15 lbs 5 oz
Height: 25 1/2 inches
She is a healthy little baby and by that I mean we have a serious chunker on our hands.

just a little something to make you smile . . . .

Oh and I almost forgot to post this but we had some great news recently. Christopher has been accepted to Emory University in Atlanta Georgia. He will be earning a Masters of Medical Science in Anesthesiology. He will be an Anesthesiologist Assistant which is the same thing as a Physicians Assistant. We couldn't be happier and I am so proud of him!! We will be moving from Texas to Georgia in July!!!

These are a few of my favorite things . . . .

These are some of my favorite things about Reese lately. . .

1. She squeals like a pig about everything. She has a happy squeal and an angry squeal and there is no mistaking one from the other. Both are so adorable. Click on this link to see her in action!

2. She Holds her own bottle!!! she has been doing this for about 2 weeks now and its a little bitter sweet for me. It only proves she is becoming more independent everyday, which is a little sad for me, but I love to know that she is growing and learning so much.

3. She plays with her feet like a little monkey, this might be my favorite thing.

4. She is rolling over from her back to her stomach, she can't quite figure out how to get back though. We need to work on this because she is not a fan of being stuck on her tummy.

5. She has a handful of names that we call her: Reesee, bug (all forms of bug: buggy, bugs, buggers), pieces, chancha (pig in Spanish), chunk, belle

6. She laughs and smiles at anyone especially her dad.

7. Whenever we bring her close to our faces to give her a kiss or just to look at her she will open her mouth so wide ( we haven't quite figured out why she does this but we like it!)

We are having so much fun with her! Everyday she stays awake a little longer to play but for the most part our days are filled with this . . . .

First Laugh

So in love with this girl!!!

Chunk!

Weight: 11lbs
Height: 23 1/2 inches
97th percentile in both categories!
She really is getting so big. She is smiling like crazy and loves making noise. She grunts all of the time. Everyone always says "oh she is really working on something there" or " wow she pushing something out" but no, that is just our sweet little girl trying to talk. She sounds like an animal.

Thanksgiving/Blessing Weekend

Wow time is going by so fast. Thanksgiving has come and gone and it is time for Christmas. This year we celebrated Thanksgiving here in Texas at my sister Elizabeth's house. Christopher's Family came down and it was so wonderful to see them and to have them meet Reese. Christopher's parents, 2 of his brothers and their families came and also Grammy came from Utah which we were so happy about! We had a lot of fun and the timing was perfect to Bless our sweet baby. I know Christopher loved having his Dad and some of his brothers here to stand with him. We can't wait for Reese to meet the rest of her cousins, Aunts and Uncles in Utah, Idaho and Hawaii.
