Halloween

Top Pic: Visiting the Richards cousins.

Back row- Kash (as Batman), Jason (himself-wore his costume to work and called it good), Halle ( she clarified that she was not Cinderella again like last year but was a "Pretty Princess"...don't you dare get the two confused!)
Front row- Lance (as the Love Guru or confused by most as John Lennon), Susan Safari and Reese the Giraffe, Kerry (known as "Mama Kerry" not Grandma)

Super Gwendolyn can't get enough of uncle Jason. He's really playful and sweet with her. She likes to sit(or run and jump with no warning) on his lap any chance she gets.

Bottom Pic: Reese, Owen (as the Hulk), Morgan (Spencer and Angela's son as the Count), Gwedolyn (as Super Girl) and Aven (as a Plump Pumpkin)...love those chubby cheeks!

Fall Is Here

9 months old. Love the shot of her two new top teeth. Grandpa Scott goes crazy over them every time she visits!

Giraffe On the Loose

Reese, as you can tell, was a giraffe for Halloween. I bought her outfit when she was 7 months old thinking a 6-9 month outfit would work. Wrong! The feet of the costume where up to her knee caps. She still managed to look adorable in it. Jason and I took her to our ward's Trunk-or-Treat. Jason dressed up as a Chicago Cubs baseball player and I made up Safari Susan- tour guide showing off my baby giraffe.

Bath Time

Reese loves tub time. We've found out that we need to have a good grip on her because she turns into a slippery seal. She's gone under once (with mom holding her) and recovered well. No bonks or bruises just a quick head under water coming up with a drowned rat look afterwards. She just turned her head to me and gave a priceless look like "where were you on that?" I couldn't stop laughing. Can't get the image out of my head.

"I love to read"

Reese loves books! Jason and I have read to her from day one and she seems to really enjoy it. Let's hope it sticks!! I would love for her to reach for a book vs. reaching for a remote when she's older. I can now say "Reese, turn the page" and she can do it on her own. Her favorite book is her Disney Princess sing-along book. I think Jason and I have every song memorized. It cracks me up when Jason randomly breaks into princess songs!

I took Reese to the Sandy Library's "Mommy and Me" class today with cute girls in my neighborhood. Besides the male teacher being a little...ok very feminine...it was quite fun. What am I saying? That was the fun part for me! Looks like a man, talks like a woman and sings like one too? Hmmmm? The class would chuckle at Reese because she practically lunged off my lap (to grab the book being shown) each time the teacher would walk around. Too cute!
