Quick Update....

Life has been getting in the way of posting so we've had a bit of a drought in updates. I've traveled pretty hard for the past couple weeks - for me anyway - and it seems like you get back to the office and work twice as hard to get just "sort of" caught up and it never seems to end....I could go on about stuff at work but this blog is our happy place so work stays where it is. And all of the fine people that complicate my life between the hours of 8am to mostly 6pm.......

Ok...So, Reese is just changing so much right now. Her comprehension of what we're saying to her and the way she just listens to us is amazing for her being so young. She is trying so hard to expand her vocabulary but you'd really have to be around us to know that she's saying certain things. For instance, she says Chief which is Sherry's dog. But to a stranger it may sound alot like Cheese. She says "ready......go" but the ready part sounds like ja-jeeeee....and then GO! She is clearly saying dog. Sometimes a random Thank you....that sounds like Chank chuuuu. But regardless of what it sounds like, she's trying to communicate with us and that's pretty cool. She signs MORE to us when she is hungry...particularly if she wants yogurt melts but will generally sign for "more" when she wants something to eat. I suppose the context that she is using the sign is probably wrong but we're consistent with her so it seems to work. She is getting more sure footed with her walking and is starting a little trot of sorts. I guess running is right around the corner!

Something that has kind of been the case since she started crawling is that she has to be in your business if you're in another room. Today, however, curiosity sort of got the best of her. Kim and I were cleaning out the refrigerator and little mama just had to see what the heck was up....she tripped and dotted her eye and cheek on the inside of the fridge......horrible parents right? We both felt horrible but in true Reese fashion, she recovered reasonably quick and was back under foot in no time.

One nice thing about the coming weeks is that I plan on being HOME for a good run so I'm excited about that and I'll more than likely be able to get back to my introspective self and come up with some good post material. Until then.....Reesie pics.
