Growing out of our jammies

And YES, his jammies are a little small. I just am trying to get the last wearings (is that a word?) out of his 3-6 month jammies before we break out all the 6 month and 6-9 month jammers.

Tummy sleeping

So the past couple of nights every time Reef has woken up it has been because he's rolled over onto his tummy. I was wondering if he would EVER roll over and stay sleeping on his tummy because it would be A LOT easier for ME if he could put himself back to sleep on his tummy or roll back onto his back. Tonight proved to be the night for learning. I decided to let him whine it out when he rolled onto his tummy right after I laid him down. The first time he woke back up and didn't want to go back to sleep so we rocked and read a few more stories. The next time I tried it he rolled over after a few minutes of squirming and fell back asleep on his tummy. It was pretty cute. I'm now wondering what it's going to be like when he wakes up from this position because there is not much room for him to roll onto his back ( he seems to always roll to his left, maybe it's just another sign of left-handedness. Sorry, dad!) It should be interesting. I can't wait!!! :)

Lindsay's Wedding

So today was the day for Lindsay Wittstruck and Patrick Eisenmenger's wedding. My day started off rather sleepily because now that Reef knows how to turn from his back to his tummy, he does it in his sleep and gets mad. I had to flip him back over about 4 times last night. He only ate 2 times, but I woke up nearly every hour! Cyndi picked Reef and I up around 8:30 as we had to run to Wal Mart to get some champagne to sip while we got our updo's. We were at Utopia salon from 9-11:15 getting our hair did (hehehe) and then off to The Salad Co. for lunch. It was DELICIOUS.

After a quick pump session in the van, we headed to the church to get ready. We lounged around the church after getting ready and then had pictures. Again, more lounging and then the main event...The wedding. It was perfect. The whole church was teary-eyed through the songs and vows and then cheering as they were pronounced man and wife!
The limo was so much fun as we went through numerous bottles of champagne and cases of beer. We all bonded and had some outdoor (and very windy) pictures at Pioneer Park.

On to the reception at the Holiday Inn downtown. It was crowded, but nice. We ate, drank, and danced the night away. My folks were nice enough to get a room so Reef could go to bed (and grandma watched him) and we could still party. It was a fun evening. I just love weddings!

Walks around Holmes Lake

This afternoon Reef and I were able to go on another walk with Erica & Claire around Holmes Lake. It was a gorgeous day and we had to take advantage of it. I worked a half day this morning at Irving and had a good time. Cyndi, Reef and I ate at the Olive Garden (soup, salad, & breadsticks...OH MY!!) then went to check out the new Kohl's. We both had some coupons to use and I needed to get some more picture frames for Reef's 3 month pictures. We got back home and wanted to go on a walk. Normally we'd just walk around the 'hood, but we thought we'd check and see if our friends wanted to get some exercise too and it worked out perfectly. Unfortunately we haven't taken any pictures of our walks, but next time we will! Last time both babies fell asleep, this time they had both taken naps (Claire: long nap, Reef: cat nap) before the walk and just enjoyed the fresh air and scenery. We had some good mommy talk, as always, and can't wait for the next play date.

Unca Joe & Auntie Ivy's house

We went over to Unca Joe & Auntie Ivy's house today to help them get a few things in order and to watch the game (Jared went downtown with Rick for the game after helping early afternoon.) We had a lovely time chillin' in their house and eating some yummy food. We had a meat platter (steak, wild turkey, pork chops & pulled pork), acorn squash (yum, yum!!), homemade jalapeno poppers (spicy!), and some potato salad. WE were stuffed. There was also some cherry cheesecake for dessert. We ended up talking and playing with Reef more than getting things organized, but everything will fall into place. Again, no pictures, even though the camera was sitting on a chair in the living room. Next time, I swear. I started out taking a zillion pics a day and now I get so busy, I forget.

Grammy Cyndi's garage sale

Grammy had a garage sale today and is going to be open again tomorrow and Reef and I got to hang out for a bit. My phone took a dive and isn't working properly so since I didn't have to work, I decided to head to good ol' Sprint. I knew it would take awhile, so I dropped Reef off at the sale. Cindy Timperley was on hand to help with the sale and Reef, so I knew it would be easier for them. Kate Finn was also there selling some discontinued Premier jewelry. It took nearly 1 1/2 hours at the Sprint store to get my phone switched to Jared's old phone and it still wasn't fixed. How do you like that! I'm going to have to go back, or we're going to have to break down and get a new phone.

Once I got done with phone issues it was back to grammy's house to stroll around the neighborhood with Erica and Claire. We found some pretty good deals on baby clothes and a few odds and ends. The best find was a jumperoo for Reef. This wasn't in Cyndi's neighborhood, but a friend tipped me off on it. Reef hasn't quite figured the jumping part, but he's enjoying the activities.


Here's a great picture of Reef and Claire hanging out in the pack 'n' play.

TOES!

Reef has recently "found" his toes and is constantly grabbing them and holding on for dear life~ He's been watching them for the past week or so, but can finally grasp them. Here he is this morning and afternoon playing with them! I have found him in his crib the past two mornings with one sock on, one sock off, so he seems to enjoy trying to get his socks off too!

It is so funny watching him swing his legs around trying to get at his feet. I can't wait until he tries to eat his toes!
