three months old

reese is certainly adored here in our home.  she is our little sweetheart. she is so content and has such a calm nature.  last month i said reese was crying a little more, which is crazy.  this girl is not a cryer (except in her carseat, which she really dislikes).  maybe she was just having an off month?  reese is always smiling and happy, even though you can't tell in the pictures.  this month we have even gotten her to giggle and we're ready for more.  reese has found her hands and is constantly sucking on them.   she loves being with people.  she will lay on her blanket or under her playmat, but she is definitely happiest when she is with someone.  when she is tired she starts to "talk" a ton.  she loves to be swaddled and have her binky when she sleeps.  we just love this sweet little girl of ours.

museum of science and industry

with our time here in wisconsin coming to an end, my sister and i felt the need to get together again.  we met at the museum of science and industry (and all got in for free-wahoo) and had a blast.  the kids were well behaved and loved the freedom of getting to run around. 

there's this great tractor the kids can play on that they absolutely love, but there is a catch to it...there is a constant line of people waiting for their kids to play.  so you basically tell your kids to run up and have as much fun as they can in the tractor for about 5 minutes.  our kids took that literally.  they were having a ton of fun and might have looked a little crazy inside.

the babies were present

the best area by far was the kiddie area.  any place with water is going to be a hit.

tyler made this day possible.  i was able to visit with camille because he kept a good eye on the kids pretty much the whole time.

blessing day

we blessed our little reese when she was two months old.  tyler gave her a wonderful blessing.  reese was nice and quiet and i think she even stayed asleep.  and we were extra lucky to have my sister and her family come up and visit us for the day and take part in the blessing. they're the best!  so, so grateful for the prietshood and for family.

on a side note, we took one picture of all of us together.  one!  for one picture, i can't believe how many of the kids are looking.
