Silly Reese!

Do you like my look? - Mardi Gras beads with Mr. Potato Head's glasses and hat.

P.S. It's almost my birthday!!

Oh What a Beautiful Day!

2009-02-09T22:56:00.002-06:00

It was such a beautiful day outside today. Momma and I took Baby for a walk.

I found a tiny yellow flower.

Momma and I talked about shadows.
After our walk, I drove my cozy coupe a little bit.

Baby enjoyed watching me play.

Two rocks!

Sunday with Great Grandmama & Cousins

2009-02-09T22:39:00.002-06:00

On Sunday, my cousins Olivia, Nick and Sophia came over to visit Great Grandmama at her new place. Uncle Bill and Aunt Alex came, too. We all ate lunch together with Great Grandmama, Aunt Carmen and Uncle Jimmy. It was such a nice day!

I played with Nick, Sophia and Olivia through the glass door.

I provide some after-lunch entertainment for Great Grandmama's fellow residents.

I was running down Great Grandmama's hallway, and I fell down and bit my lip - Ouch!!
Then it was time for a Sunday afternoon nap.

After my nap, all my cousins came over from visiting Great Grandmama's old house to give me my birthday gift.

They gave me a birthday card with a finger puppet in it -
Dadda did funny voices!

I got some super-cute clothes that Olivia picked out -
She has great taste!

Momma & Aunt Heather's Birthday Dinner

2009-01-24T22:15:00.001-06:00

Tonight, we went to Olive Garden for Momma and Aunt Heather's birthday dinner. I ate breadsticks, tomatoes, olives, shrimp and pasta. Then I had black tie mousse cake for dessert. It was all so yummy!!

Granddaddy, me and Aunt Heather

Birthday dinner at Olive Garden - Yummy!

I presented some after-dinner entertainment. (haha!)

Where's Reesie?

Here I am!

Looking a bit like Little Red Riding Hood

Getting Tubes in My Ears

2009-01-19T17:51:00.004-06:00

I was a brave girl today. I had to get tubes in my ears this morning. And Momma was there with the camera as always to document the event - Haha!

We had to be at the outpatient care center bright and early at 6:30am ... That's EARLY! I wore a little purple hospital gown, and I left Momma and Dadda and Aunt Heather for my procedure at 7:30am. It only took about 15 minutes, then I went to recovery. I was a little groggy after it was over, but everyone said I did great!

We had to wait a little bit before Momma and I went back.

This is my cute purple hospital gown.
The nurse gave me some crayons and paper.
Momma wanted to put this "rear view" picture up ...

Aunt Heather colored with me a little bit.
She was so nice to come with us.

The nurse and anesthesiologist (what a big word!)
took me away in a little red wagon.

One last wave before my procedure ...

This is me after I was in the recovery room ...
We had to sit here for about 30 minutes before we could leave.

I'm glad to be heading home ...

What a morning!

When we got home, I was awake and ready go to! I played all morning, ate some pretzels and a Nutri-grain bar, drank some milk, then napped at 2:00. I have also eaten a great dinner tonight. I'm back in the saddle again!

"Minn Mousch!"

2009-01-09T22:56:00.000-06:00

This morning, I rediscovered my Minn Mousch (Minnie Mouse) ears ... They are super-fun with a pink bow on them! I wore them during my morning milk and to watch Mick Mousch (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) before we left for school. I also had on my cute "reese" sweatshirt today, too - Mommy is very proud of it.

My Cheese!

2009-01-01T23:24:00.004-06:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Uncle Bill and Aunt Alex gave me a cool cheese (kid's digital camera) for Christmas. It's a cheese because you say "Cheese!" when you take a picture of someone. Makes sense, right?! Anyway, I'm learning how to use it, and it's very cool. If I have a blog, then I should have a cheese to take pictures and post to the blog. And while the pictures aren't necessarily professional quality (partially due to me not holding the camera still very well), I'm learning a lot! Here's a sample of my recent photos ...

Dadda tried out the cheese first ...

It's Momma!
It's Dadda!

It's Baby!

The cheese also has these built-in picture frames which are pretty cool.

Dadda again

Momma again

Sometimes I don't frame-up very well ...

It's Millie the Mouse!

Kody Dog - Take #1

Kody Dog - Take #2

Kody Dog - There he is!

Dadda was video-ing me taking pictures - Silly Dadda!

It's Aubie!

It's blurry Momma & Dadda!

Santa's Ride Down Our Street

2008-12-30T20:58:00.005-06:00

Santa rode down our street in a fire truck on Christmas Eve. It was so cool!

Grandma Mimi, Dadda and me waiting for Santa to drive by
This is my new Belle doll from Mr. David and Ms. Wanda,
our across-the-street neighbors

I see Santa coming!

There's Santa in the fire truck!

Collier Christmas Morning at My House

2008-12-25T13:51:00.002-06:00

Merry Christmas everyone!!

We have had a wonderful Christmas morning at our house! Santa brought me so many fun toys ... Granddaddy & Grandmommy gave me a cool Elmo Live! ... And Grandmama Mimi & Sandy and Aunt Heather gave me some pretty unique gifts.

I left some cookies and milk for Santa last night ...
And they were gone this morning!
This our Christmas morning!

Santa brought me a cool Disney Princesses castle (tent).

Great Grandmama gave me this table and chairs.
Our stockings - and my reindeer canvas from school -
were hung by the chimney with care ...

Santa brought me a baby doll to go with the
baby stroller from Papa & CoCo.

Here are the goodies I received on Christmas Eve.

Our pretty Christmas tree -
Dadda does a wonderful job decorating it.

My surprise from Grandmommy & Granddaddy

My gifts from Auntie H

This is my arrival to the den on Christmas morning ...
It was a little overwhelming.

Then I got down to get a closer look at my castle tent ...

Let Christmas morning begin!

Hey everybody!
Momma, Dadda & Auntie H

My new baby doll

And back to the castle tent ...

Momma & Dadda gave me this fun piggy bank.

And back into the castle tent ...

Momma & Dadda gave me a wooden puzzle with sounds.

And it's much more fun to play with inside my castle tent.

Hey everybody!

Grandmommy & Granddaddy gave me Elmo Live!

And Elmo Live is even more fun inside my castle tent ...

Grandma Mimi & Sandy gave me an Elmo laptop.

Grandma Mimi & Sandy also gave me some books -
Dadda and I love reading books together!

Momma, Dadda & me

Giving Auntie H a big hug!

Auntie H gave me this cool "R" bulletin board.

Christmas morning can wear a girl out!

Collier Christmas Eve at Papa & CoCo's House

2008-12-25T11:49:00.003-06:00

Our Christmas Eve tradition is to gather at Papa & CoCo's house. We ate yummy food, opened presents, and took lots of pictures (of course!).

Papa & CoCo gave me a baby doll stroller.

Papa & CoCo also gave me some cool girl-colored blocks.
Great Aunt Carmen & Great Uncle Jimmy gave me
a cool Vtech computer thing that connects to the television.

CoCo gave me this pretty jumper with a giraffe on it.
We gave a fun sea animal playset to my cousin Tristan.

Papa Tom & me

Momma, Dadda & me

This is magic reindeer food that we made at school.

Collier Christmas in Atlanta

2008-12-23T15:31:00.003-06:00

Momma, Dadda and I went to Atlanta on Sunday to visit Uncle Bill & Aunt Alex and cousins Olivia, Nicholas and Sophia.

Playing with Olivia's dollhouse

I enjoyed a little computer time on the high stool.
Giving Sophia a hug

Opening presents ... It's a Vtech kids' digital camera!

And a book - Where the Wild Things Are ... A classic!

Ta-da!

Enjoying Christmas together ...

Where's Reese?!

Olivia, Sophia, Reese & Nick - Say "Cheese!"

My Class Christmas Party

2008-12-19T19:06:00.002-06:00

On Thursday, my class (the Turtles) had our class Christmas party at school. It was lots of fun!

We all had special Christmas lunch together -

Chicken nuggets, string cheese and pretzel sticks!
This is my friend Riley with his grandmother.

These are my twin friends Mary Glynn & Grayson.

This is Kendall, Hayden and Will.

Me and Kendall

Aunt Heather came to my party.

And look who else came?!

Apparently Dadda forgot about how I'm NOT a big Santa fan?!
Dadda and me

Ms. Sarah helped me pour reindeer food into my bag.

Dadda and I opened my gift to our classroom.
We all gave a gift so we have new toys to play with after the holidays.
Dadda read a Christmas story to Kendall and me.

Each class painted a canvas for their mommies and daddies.
Ours is a reindeer - Footprint head with handprint antlers.
This is our December door decoration.

I'm a lamb.

My Visit with Santa Claus

2008-12-18T17:00:00.001-06:00

Last night, Momma, Dadda and I went to visit Santa Claus. While he was much nicer than Aubie Claus, I'm still not sold yet. Maybe next year! But I sure do hope he comes to my house on Christmas Eve - I'll be asleep then!

This is how you kill time in the Santa line ...

Playing with Momma's sunglasses!

So as you can see, I'm not too thrilled about this whole Santa picture thing ...
At least I'm not sitting on his lap now, yet I'm still held captive ...
Seriously, is this ever going to end?!
(I think Dadda is still trying to get one last picture right now.)

Finally, my great escape ...

Here's the final product:
(This is a photo of the Santa photo; Dadda is going to scan it later.)

After sitting with Santa, I got to ride on the carousel!

My reindeer's name is Frosty.

The carousel is super-fun!

My Visit with Aubie Claus

2008-12-10T22:29:00.000-06:00

On Tuesday, Momma and I went to see Aubie Claus. I was very excited to see Aubie - He's so funny! And I love Momma's Aubie stuffed animal we have at home. However, when it was our turn to see Aubie Claus, Momma wanted to give me to Aubie ... Like she wanted me to sit in his lap?! As you can see from the picture, that wasn't happenin'! Momma sat in the picture with me, and that was fun.

(Momma had to crop this picture because my dress wasn't pulled down, and you could see my onesie/tights under there - How embarrassing!)

Yummy Cupcake!

2008-12-05T22:39:00.006-06:00

Momma made some cupcakes for a Christmas party, and I got to eat some, too. I think Momma wishes I had eaten my 1st birthday cake like this. Cupcakes are yummy!!

Bathtime with Bubbles

2008-12-05T22:36:00.001-06:00

Momma and Dadda always like taking bathtime pictures. Here are some with bubbles - I like bubbles in my bath these days.

New Hair-Do's

2008-12-05T22:32:00.000-06:00

Momma got a little crazy with my hair on Auburn/Alabama gameday. She gave me little pig-tails! First, I had one, then I had two! Of course, I pulled them out after a little while.

My 2nd Thanksgiving

2008-12-05T22:24:00.002-06:00

I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving holiday! I sure did! We enjoyed lunch at Papa Tom & CoCo's house, then we enjoyed dinner with Great Grandmama, Great Aunt Carmen & Great Uncle Jimmy, and Auntie H & Keith.

Dadda, Momma and me on Thanksgiving

I'm sitting at the kids' table.
Papa Tom is reading me a story.
My cousin Tristan joined us for another story.

CoCo had a fun Thanksgiving turkey craft for Tristan and me.

CoCo is helping me glue feathers on my hand cut-out.

Crafts are so much fun!

Here's the finished product - Thanksgiving pine cone turkeys!

Tristan and I played in the backyard.

After dinner at our house, I tried on Great Uncle Jimmy's hat. Nice, huh?!

Tagged!

2008-11-20T22:31:00.005-06:00

I've been tagged by Nathan on the Grow to go on Momma's computer and choose the 6th picture in the 6th folder, so here it is!

I am 18-months-old in this picture. This is my sailor outfit that Great Grandmama gave me, and we're visiting her at her house in this picture. Gosh, I love my snack trap, too!

Now it's my turn to tag, and please leave me a comment and tell me when you participate so that I can come see!

Fun with Grandmommy & Granddaddy

2008-11-19T21:34:00.000-06:00

Momma and I went down to Auburn for homecoming, and I had so much fun with Grandmommy and Granddaddy!

Granddaddy gives fun piggy-back rides!

Washing my hands Superman style!
It's like a tiny shower for my hands.

Getting in cabinets is always fun!

Trick-or-Treating

2008-11-08T22:09:00.007-06:00

I went trick or treating on Halloween with Momma, Dadda and Auntie H.

"OK Momma, put me down. I'm ready for trick-or-treating!"

Trick-or-treating via wagon is a fun way to go!
Our 1st stop! Here we go!

Scary witch, but I'm OK!

Alright, the bucket is filling up ... next stop please!

Dadda takes me to the next house!

Auntie H takes me to the house after that.

Now let's go home and eat CANDY!

Reese's Pieces: The Costume

2008-11-02T15:51:00.004-06:00

For all my fans who have been asking, here's a better look at my Halloween Costume. Thanks to Ms. Natalie for the pics.

Stay tuned for my Trick or Treating Blog coming soon!

Halloween Costume Parade & Trick-or-Treating at Playschool

2008-10-30T16:13:00.002-05:00

Today at school, we all wore our Halloween costumes. We had a Halloween costume parade through the parking lot, then we got to trick-or-treat in the church office. I'm still getting the hang of this trick-or-treat thing, but I'm thinking I'll love it next year for sure! It sure was fun today!

Molly and I are walking with our teacher Miss Meghan.

I'm holding my little trick-or-treating bag.

We trick-or-treated through our church office.
Mr. Seth is giving me some candy.

Pumpkin Carving

2008-10-30T16:02:00.000-05:00

On Wednesday night, Dadda and I made our pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern. It was a little bit messy. I was in charge of putting pumpkin pieces in the trash can and keeping up with the jack-o-lantern's top. I said top a lot last night - It's one of my new words.

The insides of the pumpkin were pretty yucky!

I like putting the top back on the pumpkin.

Kicking all the newspapers around was pretty fun!
I was also able to do a little shopping while Dadda was carving.

I wanted to help, but Dadda was using a tiny pumpkin-carving knife.

I guess I need to post a picture of the finished product ...
That'll be coming soon!

Trunk-or-Treat

2008-10-28T22:12:00.011-05:00

At church, they have a real fun event called Trunk-or-Treat. A bunch of church members park their cars and decorate their trunks and us kids go around and trick-or-treat at each one of them. Dadda & Momma's Sunday School class did a Star Wars themed trunk. Dadda wore his Stormtrooper costume even though he had been sick. It was a lot of fun.

I got to debut my Halloween costume at Trunk-or-Treat.
This year I am a bag of Reese's Pieces.

YUM YUM ... MORE CANDY PLEASE!

Auntie H was a Greek Goddess!

Here's my friends Genna (Cowgirl) & William (Nemo).

More Halloween pictures to come soon!

Carousel Fun!

2008-10-28T21:51:00.007-05:00

Momma and I have been going to the mall forever. It's a girls' thing to do. Recently I have noticed this really cool spinning contraption with all kinds of animals on it that is in the middle of the mall. Momma calls it a carousel. Dadda calls it a merry-go-round. I call it fun. The other day I rode it with some of my friends.

Momma buckled me in tight, but still kept a hand on me for good measure.

Genna & Ms. Eve enjoyed riding too ...

... as did Owen and Ms. Melissa.

My Visit to the Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-21T22:01:00.001-05:00

On Saturday, Momma, Dadda and I visited the pumpkin patch. We went to the same one as last year, and it was even more fun this year because I can walk and run! As a favorite of Reese's Pieces fans, I have added some flashback pictures from my visit to the pumpkin patch last year. Enjoy!

I'm ready to go get a pumpkin!

I've grown a lot, huh?!

Do I look like a little old man or what?
Amazing what a little hair can do for ya!

Dadda and me on the hayride

Dadda and me last year

Our friends Ms. Jennifer, Mr. Robert and Olivia came to the pumpkin patch with us.
This is Momma and Ms. Jennifer on the hayride.

I sort of like this cute little white pumpkin. He's just my size!

Please feel free to take a walk down memory lane and look at last year's visit to the pumpkin patch.

Pretty Dress and ... A Bow!

2008-10-19T22:44:00.002-05:00

The weather is getting cooler, and I'm getting to wear some new fall clothes. I really like having a bow in my hair, too. And it's a good thing because Momma and Dadda are tired of people calling me "buddy" when we're out in public.

Sometimes it's difficult to get going in the morningtime.

This is my kissy face - I'm giving Dadda a good-bye kiss before he leaves for work.

I'm running down the hall to Dadda on my way to the kitchen for milk and breakfast, with my favorite Millie the Mouse in my arm.

Nice and Cozy

2008-10-19T22:24:00.002-05:00

After a busy weekend, sometimes you just have to take a little break.

And after a little coughing fit while napping in my bed, this is part 2 of my Sunday afternoon nap.

Shirtless Jumping

2008-10-11T21:34:00.002-05:00

Sometimes you just got to let loose with the clothes and have fun. It's part of the charm of being a baby. I've got to take advantage of it while I still am a baby, because Momma and Dadda say I'm growing up waaaay too fast.

I've also learned how to jump like a bunny rabbit. Checkout me jumping for Dadda's video camera.

Giddy-Up Momma!

2008-10-11T21:01:00.005-05:00

My Momma is so fun. Sometimes I take rides on her shoulders.

Look Ma, no hands!

I love my Momma. I give her hugs and kisses all the time.

Yeeeee-haaaa!

"Itsy Bitsy Spider"

First Haircut

2008-09-28T23:17:00.008-05:00

I got my first haircut recently, and it wasn't too bad. Momma, Dadda and Aunt Heather came along to take pictures and video of this milestone event. Miss Tiffany at Sweet and Sassy cut my hair. This whole store is pink, and it has lots of cool nail polish, make-up, and even a runway with lights for little girls.

This is my "before" shot.
My cape says "Sweet Princess."

Here we go!

This is the first cut.

I'm enjoying my snacks and a nearby television.

Here's my "after" shot - It looks pretty good, huh?!

This is my "Baby's First Haircut" certificate.
And here are my little snip-its of hair.

I'm trying out the runway.

This chair looks like a big high-heel shoe.

Reese's New Set Of Wheels

2008-09-19T22:47:00.007-05:00

Momma has been an excellent consignment sale shopper this week. She has gotten my a bunch of new clothes and toys. My favorite so far has been my new toy car. There is one just like it at play school that I love to play in, so Momma thought it would be great for me to have one at home too!

Always buy from "Momma's Used Car Emporium"!

Time to crank this sucker up!

Who says I have to wait 'til 16 to get a set of wheels?

I'm styling. Watch out open road ... here I come!

Because 2 are better than 1!!

2008-09-10T14:02:00.003-05:00

Momma took this funny picture with her cell phone. I have my 2-year molars coming in, so I need extra passy love.

WARRRRRRR EAGLE!

2008-09-09T22:57:00.004-05:00

OK, so you saw me in my neat new cheerleader uniform, but this is how I enjoy most games: at home in my Auburn t-shirt, shaking my shakers!

We're 2-0 with Mississippi State up next. Go Tigers! Muzzle the Bulldogs!

First Day at School

2008-09-02T22:59:00.001-05:00

This year, I'm going to Little Lambs Playschool at our church (RUMC). I'm in the Turtles class. My teachers are Ms. Megan and Ms. Kristi. Tuesday was the first day of school, and I had so much fun. Of course, Momma and Dadda wanted to take some pictures of me on the first day.

I get to take a lunch box to school. Mine has my name on it.

I also take this big tote bag with me, too. It has all the essentials for a day at school: change of clothes in case of spill or accident, diapers (very important!), and my school folder.

Lucky for me, Momma carries my bag for me! I love my Momma!!

Here's a close-up of my outfit. It has smocked turtles on the front because my class is called Turtles. (In this picture, I'm a little distracted by someone walking on the street.)

This is our class door.

And here's the turtle in the bus with my name on it.
This is our birthday wall.
And here's my birthday cupcake.

This is my class room. I was here last week while Momma was getting her room ready. Momma is a teacher in the Lambs class; they are the class right behind mine.

Popsicles at Papa's!

2008-08-28T14:00:00.009-05:00

While Momma was at school decorating her classroom I hung out with Papa, Coco, and Tristan.

I enjoy playing with bananas. That's one reason Dadda sometimes calls me a little monkey.

Because it was raining and we were so good Coco gave Tristan and me popsicles. This was my 1st popsicle. It was YUMMY!

What a fun day at Papa & Coco's!

Fun at Grandmommy & Granddaddy's House

2008-08-23T21:25:00.000-05:00

I really enjoyed spending the week with Grandmommy and Granddaddy in Auburn while Momma was helping the big girls with sorority rush. We played all day long!

Note: Granddaddy's camera was acting silly, so the pictures aren't very clear. But it's all fixed now, and ready for my next visit!

I Like Granddaddy's Auburn Hat

2008-08-23T21:16:00.000-05:00

More adventures coming soon ...

2008-08-16T19:34:00.005-05:00

Well, I've been in Auburn for the last week hanging out with Grandmommy and Granddaddy while Momma and Auntie H helped out with sorority recruitment. I'm sure I'll have plenty of stories and pictures to share, but until then here's something to keep my adoring fans happy.

I climbed up here all by myself ... with stick in hand!

I enjoy picking up sticks, leaves, rocks and acorns. One day I'll help Dadda with his yard work.

Me playin' in my jammies.
Here's me hard at work on the computer. Momma and Dadda let me play this fun button masher game. When I hit buttons pretty flowers and butterflies appear.
Sometimes it gets real intense!
How do you use this crazy mouse thing? Is it like a phone?

COMFY SEATS!

2008-08-12T20:57:00.006-05:00

I love my Comfy Seats!

Owen's Birthday Party

2008-08-12T19:48:00.007-05:00

On Saturday, my friend Owen turned 2! To celebrate we had a party at a pottery-painting place. We drew on the walls with chalk and then painted ice cream bowls.

That's Owen (the Birthday Boy) in the middle. To his right is my good friend Genna.

I had to wash my hands when it was over ... It was messy!

More, Please & Blowin' A Kiss!

2008-08-08T23:23:00.002-05:00

Happy 08/08/08!

2008-08-08T19:53:00.004-05:00

I hope everyone has had a great week! And what an exciting weekend with the beginning of the 2008 Olympic Games!

Earlier this week, I played in the sprinkler with Aunt Heather and Dadda. It was so much fun!

Big Teddy Bear, Silly Lion & A Little Friend

And I'm not talking about Dadda either! Momma and Dadda just brought this big white teddy bear up from the basement - It's so cool! Where has he been all this time?!

I also rediscovered my lion push-toy, which is now a riding toy for me. But I'm lending it to my friend Olivia because she will be learning to walk soon.

And this is my friend Olivia. She and her mommy Miss Jennifer and her daddy Mr. Robert came over for dinner the other night. I was being very gentle with her because she is a baby.

Things on My Head

2008-07-27T20:11:00.000-05:00

One of my favorite funny things to do is running around with things on my head. It just cracks me up ... And everyone else, too!

* Momma's Note: Reese is being supervised when she puts things on her head.

Dirty Laundry?

2008-07-27T20:04:00.001-05:00

I don't think so! Playing with Dadda and the laundry basket is so much fun!

Wardrobe Refreshment

2008-07-26T23:38:00.000-05:00

Momma bought me a couple of new outfits for the rest of the summer. These are my overalls with flower pots on them.

And this is a top that Grandma Mimi gave me when we visited her for Memorial Day week. It's so cute!

Playing at the Park

2008-07-13T22:39:00.008-05:00

Last week, Momma and I went to Joe Tucker Park in Helena. We've never been to this park before, but it was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed swinging, climbing, and sliding.

Happy 4th of July!

2008-07-06T22:05:00.010-05:00

I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July weekend! I really enjoyed having Dadda at home on Friday. We ate barbecue sandwiches with Great Grandmama, and we went to downtown Homewood for the big fireworks show over Vulcan. The fireworks were very cool!

Momma and Dadda forgot my booster seat, so I got to sit in a big chair to eat my lunch at Great Grandmama's.

Momma shared her sundae cone with me after lunch.
This is my 4th of July t-shirt and skorts.

I have my own little folding chair for outdoor activities.

This is me in my little folding chair last year - I've grown a lot!
I really enjoyed sitting in Dadda's big chair, too.

This is the cool inflatable patriotic hammer that Dadda got me at the 4th of July celebration.

Playing with Genna

2008-06-25T20:59:00.000-05:00

My friend Genna came over to play today. We had fun playing with my tea set and sharing my big pink chair. Miss Eve, Genna, Momma and I enjoyed lunch together, too.

Dinner at The Bright Star

2008-06-25T20:50:00.000-05:00

On Saturday evening, we went to dinner at The Bright Star with Grandmama, Great Aunt Carmen & Great Uncle Jimmy. The Bright Star is a Collier family tradition. It was YUMMY!

I got cute for dinner.

I like riding with Great Grandmama.

Happy Father's Day!

2008-06-15T21:19:00.001-05:00

Happy Father's Day to all the daddies in my life! I LOVE MY DADDA!

We had a very nice day together. Even on Father's Day, I love my Momma, too!

Sometimes I like to show my belly to everyone.

I also would like to wish Papa Tom a "Happy Birthday!" today.

St. Simons Island Pier

2008-06-15T20:42:00.001-05:00

On our last night visiting Grandma Mimi, we went to dinner at the 4th of May, which was delicious. Then we walked on the pier one last time and took some pictures. We love visiting Grandma Mimi!

Driftwood Beach at Jekyll Island

2008-06-15T20:14:00.003-05:00

Momma and I have been bad about finishing the posts about our Memorial Day week trip to Jacksonville/Brunswick. We apologize to all our faithful blog visitors! Here are some pictures from our time at Driftwood Beach at Jekyll Island. In the first few pictures, I'm wearing a light yellow smocked dress with sailboats.

There are lots of dead tree limbs and roots on the beach.

Wardrobe change - Now I'm wearing a cute little fushia plaid halter dress from Grandma Mimi. It's very beachy!

It's bright out here!

I'm holding some sort of sea creature shell thing off the beach.

I love my Dadda, and he loves me!!

It's been a long day ... Time for a nap on the ride home.

Breakfast and a Walk in The Village

2008-05-31T21:17:00.000-05:00

Each time we visit Grandma Mimi, we have to have breakfast at The Sand Castle in the village at St. Simons Island. Everyone enjoys it so much! After breakfast, we walked on the pier and took some pictures.

I always love seeing a cute dog-dog!

Enjoying My Floatie in the Pool

2008-05-31T20:59:00.001-05:00

After a morning at the beach, we had lunch then enjoyed some afternoon time at the pool at he hotel where Olivia, Nick and Sophia were staying. Momma and Dadda got me this cool floatie thing, and I really liked being in it in the pool.

A Day at St. Simons Island Beach

2008-05-27T21:29:00.000-05:00

On Memorial Day, Momma, Dadda and I went to the beach with Grandma Mimi, Uncle Bill, Aunt Alex, Olivia, Nick and Sophia. I enjoyed the sand and water for a few minutes, then the bigger waves up around my knees weren't so cool anymore. I decided a nap in the shade of the beach umbrella was perfect for me ... Laying in Momma's lap with the beach breeze blowing ... It was very nice!

Olivia's Birthday Party

2008-05-27T21:01:00.001-05:00

My cousin Olivia is going to be 12-years-old on June 1st. Grandma Mimi got a pretty cake for us to have a birthday party for Olivia. The cake had a figure with a green dress on, like a real little dress that Olivia made on a wooden stick figure. It was very pretty.

This little turtle is pretty yummy.
Olivia enjoys playing with my toys, too!

I like playing with my cousin Olivia.

Grandma Mimi's Little Lake

2008-05-27T20:14:00.000-05:00

Grandma Mimi has a pretty little lake behind her house. It has a fountain in the middle. I enjoyed playing in her little backyard.

First Time in the Pool

2008-05-24T19:00:00.004-05:00

On Friday, Momma, Dadda and I drove to Jacksonville, FL, to visit Aunt Steph and Uncle Pax. It is so good to see them! Today we went to the pool - It was my first time. I wasn't too sure about it in the beginning, but then I got to liking it!

This is my new sassy swimsuit that Momma got -
It has a cut-out on the side.

Mother's Day

2008-05-12T20:39:00.001-05:00

I hope you all had a very Happy Mother's Day! I think Momma sure did! Momma and Dadda went to church on Sunday morning, I went to the nursery to play, then we all went to eat brunch with Auntie H and Keith at The Wynfrey Hotel. Dadda and I gave Momma a very pretty amethyst necklace. Amethyst is my birthstone for February. Then we went to visit Great Grandmama, Great Aunt Carmen and Great Uncle Jimmy. It was a nice Mother's Day Sunday.

Great Grandmama gave me this cute sailor outfit for my birthday.

The Wienermobile!

2008-05-12T20:25:00.000-05:00

On our way to brunch on Sunday, we stopped to return a movie to Blockbuster. When we drove up to Blockbuster, Dadda looked across the parking lot to Bruno's and there it was ... the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile! Dadda said we HAD to go get our picture taken with it. FUNNY!

Swinging and Sliding

2008-05-05T15:47:00.001-05:00

STUCK!

2008-05-05T15:40:00.001-05:00

I was trying to reach something under the bed, but then I couldn't get out!

A Note from Momma: Reese has started crawling underneath things, then she tries to sit up. When she can't sit up, she panics and starts crying. She doesn't understand to just keep on crawling and come out the other side. This happens underneath the bed at home, and exer-saucers and high chairs at Play School.

My New Outside Toy

2008-05-03T20:30:00.004-05:00

After our visit to the park, Momma has the opportunity to buy this fun new outside toy from another mommy friend. It is really cool, especially because I enjoyed swinging and sliding so much at the park. Dadda is going to put it out on the screened-in porch so I can enjoy it all summer long.

Playing at the Park

2008-05-03T20:20:00.000-05:00

There is a very nice park in Vestavia called Wald Park. It has lots of great forts and things to climb on. Momma and I went there recently to play. It was a little chilly on this day, so I had to wear my fleece jacket.

Ready for the Beach

2008-04-30T23:27:00.000-05:00

Momma got me this cute new swimsuit and beach hat today. Now I'm ready for our Memorial Day trip to visit Grandma Mimi.

A Note from Momma: Dr. Lyle

2008-04-24T22:39:00.000-05:00

It is with great sadness that I share that Dr. Jim Lyle, the wonderful physician who delivered Reese, passed away this morning. For the last year, Dr. Lyle has been fighting lymphoma. He has kept a blog to update his friends and patients on his condition. Dr. Lyle underwent a bone marrow transplant earlier this year, but unfortunately, it was not able to take all the cancer away.

Dr. Lyle was an outstanding physician, and I doubt I will ever know another like him. He was so kind and caring, with so much positive energy and optimism, even throughout this tough battle he has fought. He was a huge Auburn fan, and we always talked about Auburn when I had a doctor visit. He has seven grandchildren who live in Auburn, and he visited there often. I really cannot say enough kind things about Dr. Lyle - He was a wonderful man, physician, father and husband.

Each time I look at Reese, I am so thankful for her and so thankful to Dr. Lyle for helping us bring her into the world. For this, Dr. Lyle is such an important person in our lives, and we will miss him greatly.

Sunday at Great Grandmama's

2008-04-24T01:35:00.000-05:00

Great Grandmama has a rocking chair at her house. I'm learning to climb, and I enjoy rocking in rocking chairs, so it was perfect for me.

We enjoyed spending some time on Great Grandmama's porch, too.

Coaches Taste-Off in Auburn

2008-04-24T01:28:00.000-05:00

Momma, Dadda, and I went to Auburn a couple of weekends ago for the Coaches Taste-Off. Auntie H and Keith went, too. Momma's sorority does this event where the Auburn football coaches cook ribs, then people bid on them in an auction. There are other prizes in the live auction as well as the silent auction. We ate bbq for lunch. I also got to go in the moon bounce.

Auntie H, Miss Grace, Momma & me

As you can see, I'm still not too sure about this Aubie character.

This was Granddaddy's point-of-view.
However, he's a little better from a distance.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

2008-04-12T00:39:00.000-05:00

This is one of Momma's and Dadda's all-time favorite videos, and we wanted to share it with you again. This is me laughing, at 7-months-old, without any hair. Enjoy!

Reese Rocks

2008-04-12T00:26:00.000-05:00

Papa Tom and CoCo gave me this rocking chair just after I was born (or maybe just before - I forget), and it matches my bedroom furniture. And now that I'm getting good at sitting in chairs that are just my size, I'm really enjoying rocking in my rocking chair.

Elmo enjoys rocking, too.

My New Ride

2008-04-10T00:09:00.000-05:00

Great Aunt Carmen and Great Uncle Jimmy gave me this cool wagon since it's so nice outside. My wagon stays at Great Grandmama's house for us to use when we visit her every Sunday. Dadda loves pulling me in my wagon.
