Recapping the past few months

So once again, I've let the blog sit here.  Idle.  Waiting for some kind of post.  Some kind of love.  Unfortunately, life seems to be going at a whirlwind speed as of late and once again, the blog is lowest thing on the priority list.  So here is once massive dump, of what we've been up to these past few months (has it really been that long?!?!)

Celebrated Halloween

Reese was a princess ballerina monkey and insisted that Claire be a banana (despite mommy wanting Claire to be a bear).  And like most holidays in this house, Halloween was not a one day event. More like a week long.  Trick or treating in Mommy's office, school parade and party, trick or treating with neighbors and friends, and who can forget helping daddy carve the pumpkin.

Celebrated Months 4 and 5

First Time in the Bouncer

First Double Stroller Ride Sans Bassinette

Park Fun

Including our first swing ride!

Celebrated our 3rd Birthday

This could and should be a separate post.  But in the meantime, happy birthday to my first baby.  Where on earth did the last 3 years go???

First Trip to the Dentist

And she handled it like a champ.  Maybe it was the balloon, fairy and sticker bribery.  Regardless, I was so impressed with Reese Roo.  Even more so when we had to go back to get two cavities filled and she did it by herself, without tears, and without novacaine.  

Visits with the Big Man

We've seen him what feels like everywhere.  Including the grocery store during a random Saturday lunch.  I'll post more on our first visit of the year later, but clearly, round tears was all smiles and no tears!

Gave up the paci's

It may have taken a visit from the paci fairy, but Reese is officially done with these.  And might get super upset when she discovers a pacifier that was accidentally not left for the paci fairy.  Her's the loot she got in exchange for her paci's

And just pure cuteness

No words needed.
