Happy Thanksgiving!

Reya was very happy to help mommy and daddy with Holiday decorating. We put up the tree and Reya helped with the ornaments. It seems that it actual is "The most wonderful time of the year!" Thank you Reya for making it all worth while.

It's Official!! We have a walker!

So I'm in the kitchen finishing up some steamed carrots and apples for tomorrow's Reya snacks.....AND B says quietly, "That's 8 steps in a row." with a huge smile on his face as Reya walks towards him in the middle of the living room floor!  She has been flying around her play yard for a month or more and would walk if you held her hands up but it was the real deal tonight! We are so proud we could pop!  I only wish I could have gotten a picture to post as well.  I know, there will be a next time.  There is also a little voice in the back of my head saying " You better glue the Christmas tree to the floor! and everything else for that matter....NOW!"  We love you Reya!

Oh Christmas Tree!

I am nervous about decorating this year for Reya.  We haven't had a tree in this house in almost 10 years. (with just the 2 of us for so many years it didn't seem worth it) It will be quite interesting to see what we come up with.  We have plenty of lights, but we'll be getting a new tree and all the rest!  I just want it to be so special for her, but it's not like she'll remember ...but we will.

First time ever I saw your face...

Reya had two new firsts tonight.  One thing that she really likes to do is hold B's comb.  While she was holding it, I motioned to her and said, " Comb your hair."  and she did.  Then she laughed.  It was adorable!  She also finally played with her push/car toy and pushed it across the room, then cried.  She was frustrated, because she was trying to carry the darn thing, and that just wasn't working out, which was just as adorable! It was a good night. It's too bad Reya wants to go to bed an hour early now. I love you baby girl!
