Work Changes

Change is inevitable and in our recent case been very good!

Mommy is back to work, guiding angels into heaven through hospice and Daddy has moved to a private practice. His office is so close we can walk him to work as the weather cooperates. Mommy and Daddy are blessed to have work that they love!

We love them to go to work too because we get to play with Mrs Sarah and Eric.


(The best part of Mommy's work day is our peering out the window as we wave goodbye to her).

Reese Stats

I am bringing so much joy to my parents. Mommy is always saying I am an angel and "this is why people want to have children". I have a patient and calm disposition (just like Daddy) and I smile so much. I am rolling over, showing good head control and love to chew on my fingers. I make funny noises too (from all directions, again like my Daddy!) I sleep through the night, with only an occasional exception and that has been due to a few ear infections I have had since Christmas and my nap schedule is a bit unusual, mostly 30-40 minute snoozes 3-4x/day. My favorite pass time is watching my big brother and story time. I am beginning to giggle/squeak when Mommy tickles me under my arms. And I'm still rockin' a dimple that will melt any heart.

Height: 25 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 13lbs 6 oz (50th percentile)
Head Circumference: 15 3/4 (75th percentile)

A Christmas to Remember...or Forget?!


After Daddy's work on the 23rd, we headed to Texas in the Land Rover. 45 minutes into the trip (when we hit Beatrice), I vomited. Mommy and Daddy didn't think too much of it and continued on with jingle bells. I took a quick nap and then managed to stay up the rest of the road trip, not very content might I add; let's just say the guests at the Holiday Inn in Oklahoma won't forget me! Christmas Eve morning was our final leg into Texas. We arrived in time to visit Pappy and G for a spell and then headed to celebrate with Nana and the Henderson gang. I slept the first hour of the party and then woke with...not my best attitude. Mommy and Daddy had to leave early to put me to bed, all the while attributing my behavior to lack of sleep. Christmas morning brought gifts, Pappy's games and a runny nose. By evening, I was out of sorts and the night was a nightmare! I vomited, coughed, snotted and sneezed my way through the next several days. Everyone was exhausted (including me)! After loads of laundry and invading Pappy and G's space we ventured to Glen Rose where Poppy and Gammie hosted Christmas. Still under the weather and now with Reese acting a bit unusual (yet still her smiling sweet self), we opened presents, ate, played outside in the sunshine and did some fishing. I left a few lasting impressions there and tore through several boxes of kleenex. Mommy and Daddy changed their mind about coming home 4-5 times in procrastination of traveling with me. After 24 hours of antibiotics in my system, they braved the drive. I screamed several hours until they finally gave me some sleepy medicine. After 13 hours in the car, arriving in Nebraska at 2 AM on New Years Day never felt so good! I'm slowly recovering but probably won't be invited back to Texas anytime soon (nor will Daddy after another Texas speeding ticket). Where was Reese in all this? Quiet and sweet but managed to pick up an ear infection in both ears, a cough and the runny nose. I'm sharing my bubble gum medicine with her so we can both recover for a great start to 2012! Mommy and Daddy are hoping this year brings more sleep???
