Reid and Derrick

Here are some pictures of Reid and Derrick to compare. I thought he looked alot like his daddy. Derricks mom sent these pictures and now I know they look alot alike. Their baby picture look so close. Although here they are and you can decide for yourself.

1 Month Old and Silly Girl

Reid is one month old as of yesterday. Here are some newer pictures of him. He is so adorable! He is holding his head up pretty well and holding it there for a shorter period of time. He has gained a ton of weight, I think, he now has a double chin and is getting rolls on his legs. He has grown too. He is starting to grow out of his 0-3 month clothing. When he straightens his legs in sleepers especially he cant fully get them extended. He has started smiling at us some this past week. He loves to just watch thing and be held by me ( he is partial to his mommy). He isn't sleeping through the night yet but is only getting up once at 2-3 am and then going right back to sleep and will sleep until 6:30 or 7 am. He has been such a joy to have in our lives. We have loved having this sweet little boy!

Avarie is growing like a weed. She is still in 3 T sizes at 2 years old. Derrick used whatever the equation is for a 2 year old and if it is right she might be over 6 feet tall. She is talking non stop and still saying new words every day. I love having her around. The pictures of her are her dressing up like a bride. We watched Pricess Diaries II the other day and at the end Ann Hathaway is wearing a wedding dress. She decided she wanted to wear one and she found one of my white skirts and put it on. She had put her arm through the little ribbon things they put in the sides of skirts so you can keep them on a hanger and then brought me a crocheted table topper thing to put on her head. It was really funny. Then she wanted to dance with her daddy. which is the first picture.

The Alamo and Riverwalk

Here are som pictures that were taken when we took Karla, Derrick's mom, to the River walk and the Alamo last Saturday. We had a lot of fun and ate at our favorite place in San Antonio. It was such a nice day. It was in the 70's all day.

Avarie and our little family

Here are some picture of Avarie and our family that Karla took while she was here. She took Avarie a couple of times while she was here to the playground, which as you can see, Avarie loved. She is adjusting wonderfully to the new baby and is starting to help more and more. She is starting to be more interested in Reid. Today she saw his belly button and got excited that he had one too. It was really funny. The next one is of her is her dress for church. She gets so excited when she can wear her pretty dresses. The rest are just of us.

Reid Updates

Here are some newer pictures of Reid. He is now trying to hold his head up especially when we try to burp him. He is doing a pretty good job, but can't hold it for too terribly long. At his appointment last Friday he was still 22 1/2 inches long, but weighed 9 lbs 4 oz. We were happy with his weight gain because by 4 days old he had dropped to 7 lbs 13 oz and the doctors were a little worried. He is obviously gaining weight just fine now. He is such a little sweetheart and is such a good baby. Last night he slept for 6 and half hours which was great even though he has been sleeping atleast 4 hours at a time at night since the second night home. We are so happy to have him in our lives and love him to death. The last picture is of Reid with all his baseball things that Derrick's family has given him and made him. They are starting him young.

New Pictures

Here are some recent pictures of Avarie and Reid. The pictures of Reid are from late last week early this week.The picture with Avarie laughing is when she got into the baby's bouncy seat and was playing in it. Avarie is really warming up to Reid now. She is starting to want to watch him squirm and wiggle. She also comes and looks into the bassinette and calls him a "toote Baby" ( cute baby)
