I Love Peyton

Reese loves her big cousin Peyton! A few cute pictures of the two of them together this weekend.

The Emmys

Although we never watch TV anymore, Reese is excited to watch the Emmy Awards tonight!

Finley

We hung out with our dear family friends the Nelson's tonight. We got to introduce the newest additions to the group - Finley (2 months) and Reese (7 months). Reese held hands and tried to comfort her new friend as they learned how crazy and competitive things can get when our families get together.

On All Fours

Reese has been up on all fours for about a week now trying her hardest to crawl. The poor thing gets so frustrated that she often starts crying or collapses from exhaustion.

Toofers

Reese's bottom two teeth came in on Aug 31st. I was finally able to snap a picture today. Aren't they cute?

Little Pumpkin

We picked up some pumpkins today, and let Reese experiment. She liked to look at the colors, feel the textures, and even taste these new vegetables.

Another first

Since we take a picture of nearly every "first" in Reese's life, here is one of her riding in a grocery cart like a big girl for the first time. She loved sitting up, so she babbled and smiled at people while we shopped. She was also fascinated with the checkout process. She sat still and watched in amazement as every single item was scanned. I now know what we can do for entertainment in the coming winter months -- just go to the grocery store!

Bonfire

Reese loved watching the fire and wanted to grab a marshmallow to make herself a smore.

Are You Ready for Some Football

Reese enjoyed her first Vikings game and cheering for Daddy's fantasy football team. We watched the game at Dave & Buster's where Reese was over-stimulated with all the games, TVs, and people cheering. She immediately fell asleep when we got to the car.

Bump

Oh no! Reese got her first bump tonight when she toppled over and hit her forehead on the hard floor. Reese cried a little, but I think Daddy and I were more upset than she was. I know this is the first of many bumps and bruises to come now that Reese is more active, but the first is the hardest (at least for the parents). :(
