*Can someone please help their blogger-challenged friend and let me know how I can move pictures in the middle of my text...I uploaded the pics last and now I can't move them in my post. Also, why can I not copy/paste anything. Leave a comment & let me know. Thanks:)
So, I thought my bad blogging days were behind me with the birth of Reese because I would always have something to blog about. Well, turns out, it is true I do now have worlds to blog about, but I just can't find the time. Gush, I wish it didn't take me 2 hours to figure out how to make photos smaller so they don't take forever to load. Ahh, I hate that:(
I thought I was extremely busy before I had Reese, now I realize I didn't even know what the word meant. I have such a new appreciation for all moms (my mom especially who had 6 kids in 8 years...crazy) because I know literally there is absolutely no free time. Zip, zero, zilch. Making the transition to a full-time working mom hasn't been the easiest thing. I feel like I am now just starting to get the hang of it and that is only because of the overload of help I have had.
Oh how I love being Reese's mom! Days are hard sometimes, weeks are hard sometimes, but I just can't remember what Phil & I did with ourselves before we had the little nugget. She is definitely the center of our little world and how much better she made it:)
Here are some of my favorite things about Reese (in no particular order):
I absolutely LOVE the way she looks at me. I know I'm bias, but I think she is really smart. I feel like when she looks at me she is processing everything I say, every move I make. I know she doesn't understand it all, but she is definitely so aware & interested.
She is sleeping 9-10 hours a night. She actually has slept through the night since week 9. Thanks be to my wonderful sister-in-law, Sarah, who has probably been one of my biggest assets since being a mom, and her recommendation of BabyWise.
She loves her hands. I love to watch her move them. She moves them like a robot, just trying to figure out how to make the darn things work. And oh!...what victory it is when she can put the object of her pursuit in her mouth. It makes me so proud:)
She has a big smile and loves to make all sorts of squawking, squealing noises. She has laughed a couple times but, I have to work very hard for it to happen.
I would say she is very particular. She likes to be held a certain way (facing out) and loves to sit up. She doesn't really like to be cuddled, but wants to see everything that is going on.
When I rock her before she goes to bed (my most cherished 10 minutes of the day) she always makes noises when I sing to her...it makes my heart melt!
She hates to have anything go over her head. We call them her "raging" moments because she does get really ticked. Changing outfits is the worst thing in the world to her, which is hard because I always want to try on her vast wardrobe.
She now only uses bottles & we finally have found a formula she can keep down (never knew that would be so hard). I could go into that whole traumatic story, but I won't bore you with the details. It wasn't traumatic for her, just her mom.
She loves to stand up and feel her leg muscles (or that's what I tell myself).
She thinks her dad is very funny and chooses to look at him instead of me if we are both in the room...I told you she was smart:)
She loves her bath time and trying to reach out and grab the water.
At her 4 month checkup she was 79% for height & 56% for weight.
What a good Reesie Cup!

Wowser what a cutie, I need to see her SOON, OKAY! Hey how about a sleep-over at my house soon, like this weekend. I have a port a crib for Reese and we can get dinner, chill watch a movie, talk, go for walks with the babies, eat, etc. What do you think? I hope you check your comments like more than never:) Happy Birthday by the way, did you get my text?
She is just precious. I was so excited to see an update from you! She sounds like such a smart, fun little baby. As for adding text, sometimes when I add pics I have to push the "up" arrow on my computer a couple times to be able to start typing. Then you can hit "enter" and hopefully it will make some room for you to type. Hope that makes sense. Glad to hear Reese is doing so well!
Kristi! I LOVE her. She is seriously SO beautiful. She is such a good mix of you and Phil. You need to have 6 more of these little babes. You need to up dated this blog more often. She is adorable. Hopefully I will meet this little reesie cup soon. Tell Phil hi for Ryan and I.
she's adorable kristi! Hang in there. I am amazed at all you are doing right now. don't be too hard on yourself and cherish her while she's young and can't sass you. :)
She is adorable. You should post more often cause I love the pictures. I bet you are the best mom ever. I will give you a call next time we are up there.
