Time Flies

Hello blog fans,

Sorry for the unexpected 3 week hiatus. I can't say specifically what has kept me too busy to blog but I guess that's what happens when you try to juggle work (me), school (Mike), and a 4 1/2 month old baby. I'll do my best to recap what you've missed.

Reese has been going to my friend Noreen's house twice a week. Noreen has two girls; Kalia 4 and Makenna 7, pictured here with Reese:

Now that Makenna is in 1st grade, Noreen has Kalia enrolled in a parent participation preschool so Reese accompanies them on the mornings when Noreen is watching her. Although sometimes it seems the preschool is too stimulating for Reese and disrupts her nap schedule, it also gives her the chance to be around other children, who sing songs, play musical instruments and tell stories. I understand that Kalia has assumed the role of "big sister/protector" to Reese and won't let the other kids near her unless they wash their hands.

Despite Kalia's efforts, Reese did catch her first cold last week. She had the sniffles and a low grade fever. Fortunately she fought it off and was back to her cheerful self within two days.

Since we have been so busy, there aren't many events to report. It's been a challenge just getting dinner on the table and keeping the house in order but we did manage to capture a few pictures for your entertainment. Enjoy!

We have decided not to start Reese on solid foods until she's six months but she does enjoy sitting in her high chair. Now she can be eye-level with us at the dinner table.

Reese can't sit up yet, but from the looks of it, we can look forward to that in a few months too.

I have chubby legs and no pants...
