we have been having some fun around here. reese is growing like a weed and still sleeping like a champ. most nights she is down for the night by about 7 or 8pm and then sleeping until about 7 or 8am. way to go, sister! she also had her 2 month shots and appointment last week and dr moore was pleased to confirm what we already knew, that she is indeed, perfect. hahaha - i kid, but she took those shots like a champ!

weight - 12.1 lbs 75%
length - 23.5 in 92%

she is chugging along and chugging some milk, as you can see. :)

link is having so much fun with her and loving the smiles and giggles she is starting to return. dallas has really cranked it up lately with the new park downtown and the perot museum opening. that coupled with all of the holiday stuff around town and a couple of fun football games and we've had endless fun. this week we tried out the perot museum and the tubes at neiman's downtown. safe to say link is a BIG fan of both. we are going to hit the trains at north park next. :)

jay and i have been able to get out a lot more too (thanks to my parents!!) - and have a lot of fun holiday parties, NYE stuff, cotton bowl (boomer sooner!), anyway, a lot of fun things happening in the next few weeks. i love the holidays and the only thing that makes it even better is seeing the twinkle in your kids eyes at the lights, the shrieks of joy seeing santa or frosty or a nativity or the reindeer or anything resembling anything christmas-y.

quick story - link is pretty obsessed with this whole thing being about Jesus birthday, which is good, b/c that is what christmas is about. anyway, he is so excited to have a birthday party for Jesus and is completely enamored with all nativity scenes. there is one in particular in our house he loves to play with and name each member. baby Jesus, joseph, mary, sheep, donkey, wise "mans," and of course, the salt. or peppered. yes, he calls the shepherd "peppered" and gets confused with the word association of salt and pepper. it's hilarious to see him say, "salt. no, no, peppered." and be so pleased with himself. hahaha. so as i said, it's fun at christmas with the kiddos. in my best clark griswold voice, "JOY TO THE WORLD!!!!" ;)
