WELCOME!

This blog shares the happenings of Chris, Lacey and Reese O'Donnell. We didn't used to have that much to say about ourselves which is why posts were few and far between, but now we have a little person that will give us a lot to talk about. The blog will also feature Lacey's Random Finds - event planning, paper love, pretty crafty things, etc.


ENJOY!

That's Just How I Roll

Reese rolls over! Tummy time has become rolling time. I was cracking up trying to take this video because she would roll before I could hit record. I would put down the camera to put her back on her stomach and she would roll before I could even pick up the camera. That probably happened 10 times but I finally got it on film.


I am pretty sure she needs this shirt now...


Meeting Claire

Our friends Katrina and Matt had a baby girl named Claire three weeks before Reese. We waited until they were a little older (and had vaccinations) before hanging out, but we got them together last weekend. They were awesome together - so fun and funny.




Girls Night

Reese and I went to dinner last weekend with the girls. She was chatty and just chilled with us.


Reese preferred formula over Vietnamese food.






Little Girl, Big Bed



Reese had her first night in her crib. Mom and Dad were not too sure about it (is she really that big?), but she did great and even woke up smiling.

Visit to VA Beach

The last weekend in January we went to VA Beach to see Grandma Pat and Grandpod. Unfortunately, we didn't take too many pictures, but we did get a cute one of Reese ready for church in her ruffly sweater, and also in her new umbrella stroller. She is a little small for it right now, but we had to try it out. I just love the look she is giving her dad as he tries to help her get strapped in.











Snow Day

Northern Virginia got about 5 inches of snow this week, but as you know - that shuts things DOWN around here! So...Chris was off of work and we had a snow day on Thursday. The bummer is, we lost power and had to bundle up. Reese is clearly thrilled about her getup - lots of layers - tights, shirts, sweats. Oh, and socks on her hands! :)





Reese - TWO MONTHS

Reese turned two months old this week. She is getting so big! Here are some things about her this month:

* She smiles! (see below) And its awesome. She was in a great mood when we took these pictures so we got a great range of faces.
* She talks - well, coos. She says goo, ger, gurgle, ah. She responds when you talk to her too.
* She holds her head up really well. The doctor tried her on her tummy and Reese showed off - getting up on her arms and looking around. The doctor said she was doing great and had the strength of a 4 month old.
* She had a little bit of baby acne (on schedule) but it went away quickly and she is back to having perfect skin.
* She focuses and tracks well with her eyes - watching people, toys, and things
* She gets a lot of attention everywhere we go.
* She weighs 11 pounds and 14 oz (73rd percentile) and is 23 1/2 inches long (85th percentile).
* We have a crush on her!
