Oh, it has been so long since I have posted. The girls are into everything. They are having fun playing together and enjoying the beautiful fall weather. Reese's speech therapy appt. went well and wouldn't you know..she is now talking up a storm. She loves to read her books and sleeps with them in her crib (just like her mama). She loves to count..."Two...FIVE"...thats all she knows so far, but we think it is cute. Reese will now say her animals and do the noises they make, but refuses to say "Lion". Instead, its, "RRRRAAARR!!!!" Presley copies everything that Reese does. She is getting to be quite independent. She loves to eat everything, including sand, which is how she earned herself the nickname, "The SANDBLASTER". After downing over a 1/2 cup of sand at the park she pooped it out, or blasted it, rather, for a week. Poor sore bum baby. She loves to climb up on the table and is trying so hard to jump like Reese does. She also says "RRRAAARRR" ad has learned to say "No." The two of them have so much fun playing together and fighting. Presley has learned that biting is a great defense (poor Reese). Hope all of you are well. enjoy the pics.

Sweet Reese and Grammy.

Grammy and Uncle Scott came to visit for a week. We had so much fun. We got to go to Old Salem, The Biltmore Mansion, Mayberry, Pilot Mtn, and ride in the horse carriage. We discovered we LOVE "orrisses" (translation: "Horses"). Here are some pics of our weeks adventures. Thanks Grammy and Uncle Scott for visiting. We love you guys!

What to do on a rainy day?

I know it's cloudy, but this glare is killin' me!

We love it when Reese smiles. Her whole face lights up and makes us so happy!

There she is jump, jump, jumpin' in those puddles. Reese cannot stop jumping. She hops everywhere she goes. It is too funny!

It has been raining non-stop here. And getting tough to keep the girls entertained inside. Here they are having a blast in the rain. And, yes, Presley IS lapping up that puddle water.

Funny Girls!

Cute things!

Here are some cute things the girls did this week. Reese learned to syringe the water into her mouth when she is thirsty and uses the "Snot-sucker" to do it. Ewww!!! Presley copies everything Reese does. She is trying her best to jump, but can't quite get off the ground. Reese was jumping off the curb yesterday and tried to help Presley by holding her little hands. I had a flash of panic as I envisioned Reese puling Presley off the curb...she could have knocked out her cute little bugs bunny teeth. Reese likes to Buckle EVERYTHING. The car seat, the high chair seat, the stroller seats. She worked on it for an hour last night until she got it. She is a persistent, determined little thing. A great quality I hope she keeps. Presley still makes us laugh with her Growling and cute throaty laugh. She flipped over the arm of the couch the other night. I think she was trying to do a "flipover" that Grammy taught her. Thanks, Grammy! Reese kissed Presley when Presley bumped her head. She is such a sweet big sister and always tries to mother Presley. Last week when Presley started climbing the stairs Reese clapped her hands and said,
"No! Dop! Pa-ly! (Translation: No! Stop!Presley!) She is a little mommy, and since I always have to clap really loud to get her attention, she was doing what I do. Reese and Presley's favorite song is "do as I'm doing". We sing it about 500 million times a day.
Reese learned how to walk her hands across the monkey bars without my assistance. Presley learned to say, "hot", "uh-uh" "cat" and "doggy". Presley walks leaning forward with her arms staight out g jumping jumpinbehind her. We went to Bounce U a few weeks ago for our morning adventure. Reese loves to bounce and had so much fun. She was jumping and bouncing and laughing, then all of a sudden she was gone. She had bounced right out the door. I laughed so hard. She was not laughing though. But it was funny. Both Reese and Presley continue to light up my life. They are too fun. Hard to believe I could love those two little girls sooooo much!
