Happy Easter

Reese's "other" grandma and grandpa Elaine and Ken Schauf got her this cute Eater get up. We had so much fun taking pictures of her outside. I could just eat her up she is so stinking cute!

Our baby girl is a month old!!!

We cannot believe you are a month old! On March 20th, we went to the doctor for your 1 month appointment. You were 8 lbs. 5 oz (still not to your mommy's birth weight and you are a month old!) and almost 21" long. We think you look pretty tall and skinny but you are only in the 25th percentile in height AND weight. You are just a tiny thing!

This has been the best month of our lives. We have had so much fun getting to know your quirks, the way you hum when you are in a good, deep sleep, the sound of your burps and toots (diaper change needed or just a toot), and how to rock you in our arms just right to put you to sleep. You have made us a family. We love you more than anything! Trey McDougal said it best on the rattle he got engraved for Charlotte on Sex and the City - "First we had each other, then we had you, and then we had everything". There is a lot of wisdom on that show if you look for it...

First Play Group Outing!

I took Reese to her first play group. She liked it very much. From what I could tell - she was asleep the entire time. I think it was more of a play group for Mommy now that I think about it...

My Little Irish Girl

St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays. I love any excuse to wear my favorite color, drink green beer, and talk in a horrible fake Irish accent all day. Since I am a full grown adult now with this little lassie, I did none of that! Instead I dressed her in green and forgot all about myself and took her to a play group. I saw Tyler Schmitt at the play group for a minute and he remarked about how back in the day we would have been drinking green beer almost passed out by that time and now we were at a play group. My how life changes ;)

BFFs

Reese and Caroline

Reese and Dean

It is so cute having Reese's friends over. Caroline was so sweet and used "soft hands" to touch Reese. You can tell they are going to be BFFs! Reese and Dean look like little jailbirds together. He is in stripes and she is a prisoner in her swaddle...;)

Smiley

Reese's first official smiling photo! Granted she is asleep and it was probably caused by gas, but ISN"T SHE JUST THE CUTEST?!!

Reese's First Dress!

We had company over to meet Reese so I decided to put her in her first dress. She is so tiny still that every dress I have for her is huge. Resha's mom, Gwendolyn, did get her a newborn dress (that was still pretty big). We put it on her anyways and she looked so cute! I guess she liked it so much she thought she was a puppy dog! Or she just looked like Amanda's famous childhood pictures with the funny hand...

Milk Coma

Reese gets in a milk coma for about 5 to 10 minutes after she eats. It is probably when she makes me laugh the hardest because she is SO out of it. Here are some photos of her while she is in her milk coma after eating. She also likes to practice her Tai Chi and Yoga after she eats but I haven't caught that on film yet...
