4 months old...

Reese Kiyomi Scoville

4 months old

Reese is starting to sleep longer at night, usually a 5-7 hour stretch.

She weighs about 10 lbs and I will find out the exact amout tomorrow

She loves lights and fans

She doesn't really like being on her belly

She is eating about 4 oz every 3 hrs in the day

She loves to be around her cousins. She will be fighting to stay awake when she is around them so she can watch them.

I can't get enough of her!

Reese is just getting cuter and cuter! I love her so much! It is so much fun to watch her grow and develop and see her personality come out. She will be loves to smile and I love coming into her room in the morning and as soon as I start talking to her. She gets a huge smile and starts to squeal and pulls her knees into her chest. She seriously makes my day! She will be 4 months old this week and although she was a preemie, she is super strong. She can stand up when I am just holding her hands and starting to jump when I'm holding her.

So I have loved making little bracelets and fluffing up Reese's shoes. She is definitely a girly girl. Well, at least right now she is. Who knows what she will like in a couple of years. I was a total tomboy and remember when I was at a new school at recess, girls would get mad at me for playing kickball, football, and soccer with their boyfriends. (seriously, who has boyfriends in 4th grade). Anyway, I have loved dressing Reese up and it is so funny when I get her all dressed up and then she will start to squeal. SO cute!

We added some feathers to her shoes:)

So our pediatrician told us that Reese could possibly start baby food around 4 months if she could sit up in a bumbo. We had previously not tried her in a bumbo yet and so we came home and gave it a try....SUCCESS! She loved it and reclined back!

I am not sure what face this is, but she makes me laugh.

Getting ready for church.... Some more of Reese's frilly shoes and bracelets.

So I saw some frilly shoes at a children's botique for $20 and thought to myself.. "I can totally make those." So $5 shoes from walmart and a little frill and Wah La (not sure how to spell wahla, but you know what I mean) .....my replica of the $20 botique shoes

I had to buy this hat for Reese. I know it is not winter yet, but it was just so cute!

Me and my baby girl! I love her!

Happy 4th of July

I have been trying to catch up on my blog for a long time and so here it goes......

We had such a fun 4th of July! Ron's sister, Stephanie, and her family were visiting and so we all went out to breakfast the morning of the 4th. Who knew that Jeremiah's would be so busy, but I guess fitting 17 people together can take a long time at any restaurant:) It was so fun to be around all of the nephews and baby Teyla. ( Teyla and Reese are the only granddaughters on Ron's side of the family). Reese loved being around her cousins and they loved holding her. Later that day, Reese and I went and watched Ron play in a volleyball tournament and then we watched fireworks with all the family. I love fireworks and it is so fun to watch how excited all the kids get over them. Holidays seem to have a whole new meaning now with Reese. Although Reese doesn't get excited over parades or fireworks yet, I love that we can celebrate holidays as a family. Reese continues to bring so much joy and excitement into our lives!

Reese and her cousin Preston! He is such a natural at holding her:)

Kaiya's Baptism..

My niece Kaiya was baptized on Saturday and it was a great day!! It is always neat to watch my brother baptize his girls. It was pretty cute..... when they were confirming Kaiya, I was trying to get Khloe to fold her arms and she just kept whispering (very loudly) "Did you see Kaiya go under the water" in her cute 2 1/2 year old voice. Then Isla was sitting by us on the back row and my sister asked her if she saw her cousin Khloe sitting on the front row. Isla just looked and looked and finally she spotted her and took off running down the isle toward the front of the chapel. Hilarious! My brother and my niece
