News Flash!!!

Reese pooped in her potty for the first time today! I don't think I have ever been more proud, and of poop of all things!!! If anyone has suggestions on the best way to clean up the potty after dumping the poop in the toilet, let me know. I am a little grossed out on the best way to clean it up.

Naughty and Nice

Our friends took part in a fundraiser in which you can get Santa to come to your house for 30 minutes. I was so happy they asked us over because I just knew after the great, happy photo we got with Santa when Reese was 10 months old - we would not get the same from the 22 month old Reese of today. So glad I didn't wait in line for hours to get the following photos...although James of course was a gem. But he has no fear of the white beard....yet...

We decided we needed to get them both with Santa. Reese jumped off his lap and I snapped this photo as she was running away! Merry Freakin' Christmas!

Lets take a look back at 2008 - So young, so innocent, so not afraid of the big man in the red suit...

Still happy..

2009 - James looks pretty happy

We thought Reese would cheer up a bit

She started chewing on her hand in crazy desperation...

Then it got so bad we stopped laughing and thought she was going to make herself throw up. Yeah, we are great parents...

Call me Suri...

I kept fighting back the urge to cut Reese some bangs because I knew they would be about a 5 year commitment before we would go through all the awkward growing out stages with clips and headbands. Reese's hair was always in her face as she stubbornly refused to keep a bow or hair twisty in her hair for more than about 5 minutes. I finally gave up and got her hair cut. It is so cute I don't know why I didn't do it sooner! Of course, about the time I got her hair cut and wanted to share the cute photos, Reese is refusing to look at the camera or smile. So this is the best I could get. But I promise she looks super cute!!!
