strawberry shortcake.

I'm sorry, I just refuse to let the bubble onesie die. Reese will be turning 18 and I will still be dressing her in them. I thought she was too big for bubble onesies and then I found Carters makes them to 24 months. I may ask if they can make them until 24 years or a matching one for me.

Happy Daddy's Day

It was a great 2nd Father's Day for Jeff and when I asked how he wanted to spend it, thinking he would say watching the US Open or getting away from us, he said he wanted to spend it with his baby girl. Reese and I let Daddy sleep in and made him coffee (usually his job). I then broke out her first big box of crayons (thank you Andy and Miranda!!!) and we made Daddy a "Happy Daddy's Day!" sign.

Reese had so much fun coloring and then had even more fun taking the crayons out of the box, putting them back in the box, and holding each one up to me while saying "gbish bobby aubey!" which I can only think was the color of the crayon.

We then snuck into the bedroom to wake Daddy up and Reese even carried the sign! Daddy had to get his glasses on because being a daddy, he is getting so old he is near blind. We then took him to brunch at Mommy's old favorite brunch place Breadwinners (I know what you all are thinking but Jeff happily cleared his plate, so he must have liked it too!) and Reese surprised us by eating almost all of her own kid's meal. She apparently is a big fan of scrambled eggs with lots of cheese and fruit mixed in ;)

You all know I think the world of Jeff and so does Reese. He is such a good Dad and loves Reese more than anything. Lately he gets home from work and sneaks around the corner and surprises Reese. She of course giggles and squeals and runs away looking for Jeff to chase her. It is the favorite part of my day and I am sure the same for Jeff and Reese. We love you babe!

And the pregnant lady goes in search of cooler weather...

It was so nice to get away for a few days to visit my good friend Sara and her 5 month old Caroline (and her husband Brandon of course!). It was also great that my good friend Beth came too so we could have good girl catch-up time. The weather was soooo nice and everything was green and in bloom for me (I put in my order for the biggest hydrangea and roses out there and I got them). I think we would all agree that the best part of the trip was cuddling and spending time with Caroline and girl dinners on Sara's back porch.

Caroline is the best baby I have ever seen. She makes Reese look like a fussy Mcgee. She is also ridiculously cute and chubby and all smiles and hand chomping these days. It was love at first site! With all their worries of first-time parenting, Sara and Brandon are doing a great job. They couldn't be raising a happier baby!

I came back well rested, maybe too relaxed seeing as I left my cell phone and charger on vacation for the first time ever (blame it on the pregnancy). I am ready to be back at home and missed my Reese's Pieces and Jeffrey (I call him that when I want to be sophisticated) so much! This should hopefully tide me over for my next girl trip sans baby and hubby which will probably not be for another 2-5 years...

Mullet = Need for Pigtails

Reese's hair has been growing like a weed in the back and somehow the top and sides just aren't filling in. I hate to say it, but she has a mullet. I did not want to cut her hair so soon, so I thought I would try out some pigtails. If she wasn't cute enough already, these pigtails pretty much sealed the deal. Daddy couldn't stand how cute she was!

Getting a pigtail headache...

It's a boy!!!

Most of you have already heard through the grapevine or over facebook but we are having a BOY!!! We could not be more thrilled and excited to mess up yet another sex! Just kidding, we think Reese has turned out pretty good ;)
