Jumparoo!

Reece is getting stronger every day, and has often been attempting to pull himself up to a sitting position. So last weekend, we decided it was time to get out the jumparoo. He absolutely loves it! It didn't take him long to figure out that if he wiggles a little, the motion activates music and animal sounds.
As you can see, the new contraption tuckers him out!

Halloween Parade

Today was a big day at daycare...the Halloween Parade!
Garrett dressed up as his favorite Toy Story character, Woody.
From his hat to his boots, he's pretty stinkin' cute!Garrett's class, the Jungle Room! His buddy, Conner (on the far right) was Buzz...a fun coincidence!
The parade - all the kids (except Reece's room) paraded around the block together.
While Garrett was out & about, Reece stayed back where it was warm & cozy with his friends - and teacher, Karen!
Garrett & Mama - God Bless Cowboys!

Crafts & Some Cute Li'l Pumpkins

Check out my friend, Darci's blog for fun pics of our crafting weekend! Included are pics of Reece & his buddy, Adelyn!

Good Morning

Reece has really been more expressive and smiley lately. He definitely makes the early morning routine go a lot smoother when he flashes me his beautiful, toothless grin!

(Aunt Sandy - Reece loves to snuggle next to Mr. Frog!)

People always comment on how bright-eyed Reece is...My response is that he's always on the lookout for the kissing bandit! Look out Reece!

Reece - 3 months

Look who's 3 months old!
Check out those thighs!!! Love it!

He melts my heart...

Today on the drive to daycare:
Garrett: (singing) "A B C D...la la la..."
Me: "You make me smile, buddy...I love you"
Garrett: "I love you too, mama!"

My first I love you! (that was totally clearly spoken and not prompted)
What a terrific start to a Monday!

Random

Remember the day that the annual Christmas catalog came in the mail...and how exciting it was to flip through the pages to pick out your favorite toys? I recently got to re-live this experience through watching Garrett as he spent at least 30 minutes, carefully going over each and every page of the Mills Fleet Farm toy book the other day. He tended to ponder the green tractor and Tonka truck pages the most...
This picture says it all...
Rock Chalk boys!
