Another BIG Week!

OK I know I have some catching up to do, and I think pictures will tell the story better then I will, so get ready for a picture overload and enjoy!!

 This little pumpkin of ours is sitting up all on her own now

 She has sooooo much more fun in the tub now that she can sit up and play with her big sister, and I seriously CAN NOT get over all those delicious rolls or hers!!

 Happy sitting up playing with some toys

 She is such a happy baby, she smiles and plays and jibber jabbers ALL day long!

 The other night I gave her her bottle just to see if she could hold it and she did it like a pro...... I then proceeded to take it away from her and hold her to feed her (I want her to stay my baby so i am going to feed her as long as she lets me)!!!

 My wonderfully talented sister in law delivered once again, she took 6 month pics of Reese and I am in love with them!! This little girls nick name is chunky, I seriously don't know ho you could look at this pic and not want to squish her and kiss her all day long!! (I sure do)!! To put it in perspective we weighed her the other day and she currently weighs 22.5 pounds................. Macy who is 18 moths older weighs 25 pounds!! We love every little pound thou so we are not complaining!!

 Another beautiful picture!

 And one more beautiful picture!! Reese has another big thing that happened this week...... SHE GOT HER FIRST TOOTH!!! The left little bottom tooth popped up last Tuesday, and if this tooth is any indication of how all of her teething will go I may have another excellent teether on my hands, no fever, no crying NOTHING..........AWESOME!!!!

 Another big event in our house this week, up until last Monday Macy was still sleeping in her crib and Reese was sleeping in the pack and play because she had long outgrown the bassinet!! We decided it was time to move Macy to her big girl bed and let Reese FINALLY have the crib!! This is Reese getting ready to take her first nap in the crib, she wasn't sure what to do with all the extra space!!

 This is Macy taking her first nap in her big girl bed!! I thought that for a few days I was not going to get any sleep and that I was going to have a grumpy girl who was not getting any sleep because the transition would be hard on her. Well Monday afternoon at nap time I took her up to her room and sat on her big girl bed with her and told her that because she was a big girl now she got to sleep in her big girl bed, and that is was going to be so exciting, I looked at her and said are you so excited? and she said "oh yes mommy, I so excited!!" She fell asleep right away and was so excited that night when she got to sleep in her big girl bed again, she has been doing it like a pro ever since, and now when she looks at her old crib she says "mommy this is Reese's night night". It was seriously the easiest transition we have had this far!!

 We love our Macy girl but she is growing up too fast!! Her vocabulary is growing like wildfire, it is so fun to actually have a conversation with her and her her to be able to tell me what she wants or needs, and she is always saying the funniest things that crack us up! She LOVES to color and play with stickers and play with play dough.

 The girls snuggling with daddy after a long day, I love how Macy has her legs crossed!!

 This is a typical face I get now a days when I say "Macy look at mommy so I can take a cute picture of you"!

 It is really strange for me to see a picture of Reese with a binkey because she is not a binkey baby, but she is not sucking on it she likes to use them as chew toys!

 Macy is really into watching Calliou these days and one episode is about a magician showing all the kids at a birthday party how to do a magic trick, so this is a picture of Macy showing us her magic trick that we get to see probably 100 times a day!!

This is how Macy decided to lay this morning to watch Calliou!! We sure love this girl!
