The crying has turned to cooing....OK, not all the crying has turned to cooing, but we are certainly getting a lot more of these sweet sounds out of our little one. Her smiles and "words" melt our hearts every time and we find ourselves calling to each other to "come look at her" each and every time that sweet little smile comes to her face! While she can smile and coo and any spontaneous moment, her very favorite place seems to be on her Lilly-pad (aka the Tummy Time mat). We can be almost guaranteed one of these little treasures each time we place her there! With those smiles and coos comes much more awake time during the day! This is a great thing and I could spend pretty much all day "playing" with her. While playing still consists pretty much of waving and touching her nose, feet, and hands, I am attempting such advanced games as peek-a-boo and "high fives". Not so much on those yet...but soon my friends, soon! I also keep attempting to read her bedtime stories, but she is not so interested in those yet either....but I will keep trying!
Aunt Holly and Uncle Mark left this morning after a great visit! Reese is absolutely in love with all of her family that has been here to visit and she is so looking forward to meeting so many more of you! We took adventures to the Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah Falls, Full Sail Brewery, Mt. Hood (all of those were in one day), Downtown Portland (VooDoo Doughnuts, Kennedy School, Powells Books), and even the Oregon Wine Country....Todd got to drive for that one so I could enjoy a few tastings (well deserved if I do say so myself). She even got to go to her very first soccer game this weekend. Our friend Dave plays on a league so we went to his Saturday night game! I am considering joining the team as well, so I predict much more soccer in her future....big surprise right?!?!
So, we have definitely been busy, but that is a great thing!!! We are looking forward to Reese's first 4th of July! We are expecting weather in the 90's here this week, so it is starting to feel a little bit more like "home"! I hope you all enjoy a wonderful, safe, and fun-filled holiday weekend!
