Reese - SEVEN MONTHS

Reese girl is 7 months old! She is as funny and great as ever. Here are some things about her this month:

* She is thinking about crawling - rocking, flipping from sitting to getting on her hands and knees and shimmying all around.

* She loves the pool more than ever. Swimming lessons ended but we have gone swimming with our buddies a few times since. She even likes getting dunked.

* She HATES baby food, but loves food. She has fully rejected purees, but will eat anything that has texture or that she can pick up herself. She particularly loves bread and bananas.

* She has super puffy gums. We think a tooth is about to make an appearance.

Father's Day

Did I mention it is getting harder to take Reese's picture? Here is my attempt at some Father's Day pics.


HAHAHA!! I did finally get some good ones though before we took Daddy to a delicious buffet at our favorite Indian joint

Swimming Lessons

We had a great time with Reese's swimming lessons at the community center. We are definitely going to sign up again in the fall. The instructor said that Reese was the best one (pardon my bragging) even though she was the youngest and was ready for the toddler class, except she is too small. On the last lesson, Chris came with and took some pics.

Here she is getting ready for swimming. LOVE that face.

Not At All Crabby

Chicago

Reese is a lucky girl and gets to go on lots of fun trips. Her Mom does a week of big events in Chicago every year and Reese and her Dad got to come visit for part of the week. Chris flew alone with her (thank you buddy!!) and luckily got 2 empty seats next to him, so she slept the whole way!

She loved this mirror at the Hilton and cracked us up looking at herself

She went to her 2nd Major Leauge stadium - US Cellular Field to see the White Sox (the cubbies were out of town, or we would have done Wrigley).

She had (well, ok, her parents had) a delicious lunch at a celebrity chef's sandwich shop - Gramwich by Grahm Elliot. AND...got to eat with the chef who just happened to be sitting at the big communal table in the restaurant. It was a treat for her parents for sure.

She went to Lincoln Park Zoo for an afternoon.

Mom's work (ASCO) welcome banners were all over the city

She went walking along the river

We had a wonderful time!

Reese's First Ballpark

Reese went to her very first Major League ballpark with her Dad while her Mom was out of town for work (her Dad has been to all but 4 and her Mom has been to about half, so its time to get the girl started). They went with Uncle Brady to see the Phillies play the Nationals. Unfortunately, it was a really HOT day and Reese didn't last to long, but they still had a fun day!
