Santa's List

Reese wanted to put her Christmas list together extra early this year. It is her first Christmas after all and she's excited.

1. A new Pat the Bunny book.
  Her current one is tattered.  

2. Anything Baby Einstein.

3. Her four front teeth.

Okay, I guess she has the last one covered already.

The State Fair Rocked

Well, we did it!

We went to the State Fair of Oklahoma.

It did not disappoint.

Just as Joe feared...I gnawed on some roasted corn.

As did Reese. 

Joe hid out somewhere while all this took place.

Only kidding.

He is used to my shenanigans by now.

We took Reese to the livestock building where we encountered freshly hatched baby chicks.

She also got to pet a rabbit.

The best part (for me) was sitting on the picnic tables, eating, people watching, and hearing Reese go "Mmmmm" to her first nibble of the Indian Taco fried bread.

Yeah, I said it once and I'll say it again.

The State Fair Rocked!

Puppy Love

Reese met Boomer Scoobie Sanders this past weekend. It was puppy love at first sight.

Boomer Scoobie seemed to like her, too.

Thanks for being so sweet to Reese, Boomer!

We miss you already.

Reese met another new puppy.

She didn't seem to mind that it wasn't a REAL puppy.

This toy puppy still let her pet it,

and stick her fingers up its' nose and in its' mouth.

What can I say?

This girl loves puppies and I love that about her.

Choosy

Choosy moms choose Jif.

Choosy babies dump their toy boxes over and choose their own toys. I guess you can call Reese a choosy baby, because that's exactly what she's been doing lately.

You've been busted little girl.

You're super cute, so it's OK.

I love you, my choosy little girl.

12

We met at 12 o'clock for lunch last Sunday to celebrate my nephew Jackson's 12th birthday. He made me an Aunt, "Aunt KK" as a matter of fact, on September 3rd, 1999. I thought he was the cutest thing I'd ever laid eyes on and 12 years later his cuteness hasn't worn off.

Here we are together all those years ago.
Special memories for me.

On Sunday he happily reenacted the whole cuddling event.

Ok, so it might have been a little forced on his part, but I was able to get the shot nonetheless.

We ate at a place called Pops located on Route 66. It has a selection of over 500 hundred soda pops. The food is good, too.

Reese was there celebrating as well. She tried some mashed potatoes, bread, and a french fry. She thought she had hit the jackpot. Yum! Yum!

She enjoyed getting loved on by her Papa Bear

and Nana Charlotte.

The weather was just perfect with a nice breeze.

Cousin Karson helped feed Reese a bottle.
She is always very attentive to Reese's needs.

It was great to come together and celebrate such a special person.

We all love you, Jackson!

8

Reese turned 8 months old today.

She's 2/3s or 67% of a year old.

It's hard to believe.

I think I say this every month, but it's true.

Happy

(8th month old) Birthday

To

You, Reese!

And, Thanks to Karson for making her the special birthday outfit!

Jump Frog, Jump

Reese looked incredibly cute this evening in her froggy pajamas. I didn't think it was possible for her to be any cuter.

I was wrong.

Her cuteness intensified when I put this little froggy in her jump and jive.

JUMP Reese, JUMP!
