Spring????

After a long, cold winter, we finally had some "spring-like" weather this past weekend. After dressing and undressing Reese probably 100 times in her snowsuit, we were finally able to simply walk out the back door with a warm jacket on and do Reese's favorite thing- PLAY! Unfortunately the back yard is still a sheet of ice, so we had to keep her up on the deck. She still had a ton of fun, mostly with bubbles. She was so in awe of the bubbles!

Reese had her first real tantrum the other day. Boy, that was something else. According to my dear mother, she comes by it honestly;) So Mark and I have resorted to a lot of bribery. Bad parenting technique? Perhaps, but it works!

And I'm glad to report that Reese is eating considerably better these days. She's still far from a good eater, but boy has she developed an appetite. The first thing she does when she walks in the door from the sitters (May-May as Reese calls her) is she goes straight to the "snack" cupboard and pulls out a snack for herself. Sneaky! And we've even managed to incorporate some fruits and veggies into her diet. She can't get enough grapes, watermelon and nanas (yes that's short for bananas) and asparagus and broccoli are her favorite veggies......shocking, isn't it?! It's quite a relief to know that she will in fact eat more than goldfish......or "ish" as she refers to them:)

Here she is wearing a bit of ketchup and yogurt after dinner. Mmmmm, sounds yummy!



Taking a seat. Her hat was knit by none other than Nana Murray!



And miss Lola looking simply gorgeous!



Oh, those eyes.....



.....and those cheeks!



Let the bubble blowing begin!







In absolute awe of the bubbles!!!
