baby or "bagel"

in the past week, our BABY has begun protesting at being called 'baby', something we've done pretty much her entire life. don't get me wrong. we also call her 'reesey', 'reese' or if she's in trouble, reese jillian - as well as several pet names like reesey-roo, baby bear, sugar bear and daddy's favorite crazy baby. but baby is what we call her a great majority of the time. all of a sudden, she's decided that name is no longer for her. she says "NO 'baby'! i reese." or sometimes, "NO 'baby'! i bagel." (big girl) Ü it's really cute...but also makes a mommy sad.

running.running.running! - 1 february

reese likes to play "you can't get me", especially when i'm trying to take her picture. and EVEN, when we're in a hurry. she likes to run while saying "running! running! running!"

little friends - 31 january

reese and john austin...sweet babies!

party planning - 27 january

because our printer wasn't working right, i ended up rubber stamping all the info on the invitations for reese's 2nd birthday party. it looked pretty cute...but never again. it would have taken me FOREVER to do everything without my sweet friend audra's help. she was a complete life-saver!

puddle-ready - 20 january

i wanted to buy reese cute boots for rainy days and found these with the matching jacket at old navy. she fell in love with them and wanted to wear them all the time. cute! cute!

finding nemo - 16 january

one drizzly sunday in january, we decided to check out the tulsa aquarium. reese seemed to really like the "nemo" fish and watching the divers feed the fish.

snip snip - 3 february

reese's hair had been progressively getting more and more tangly. so, i took her to get her first haircut. the place is called something like mr. will's kutz 4 kidz. after looking and looking for a place that specialized in children's hair, i found out about this place from a friend of a friend. it turns out mr. will is a christian, which was an extra bonus for me and has tons of toys, which was a bonus for both me and reese! the chairs kind of look like a tractor and he has a tv with animated movies on. pretty neat! reese was awesome and didn't even fuss! yay!

i'm back

wow! shame on me for not blogging for 3 months. ok, enough of that.
