I love this baby!

E is for Edna

We had another visitor this last weekend. It was actually quite the surprise. My Dad had driven down to Utah for the weekend to help my sister and Grandma Edna decided to ride home with him. I was so excited- I love this woman a lot and cherish any time that I get to spend with her. She absolutely fawned over Reese- and Reese loved her Great Grandma. Reese was actually the best behaved that I have ever seen here when Grandma was here.

We went into Seattle and met my Dad for lunch one day. It was so fun- we went to Cheesecake Factory (my favorite) then Dad walked Reese around his office to show her off. Everyone thought she was so cute- of course. This was my first visit to my dad's new office- he is on the 52nd floor right in downtown Seattle. The views were awesome- Seattle is a beautiful city and I love it here.

So this year my Grandma will be celebrating her 90th birthday. Look at her- isn't she amazing?! She still has her house and her car. She shovels her own snow (even though I beg her not too.) One of the things I miss most about living in Utah is being close to her- we are great friends. Grandma Edna is a fireball- she speaks her mind, but also has so much love and compassion for others. She came to visit of course to see the baby, but also because she has been dying for a ride on my Dad's motorcycle. She used to have one- and she wore leather pants! It has been years since she has been on one, so my Dad made one of her birthday wishes come true and took her for a ride. She came back with the biggest smile on her face. I hope I can be like her when I grow up. We love you Grandma Edna!!!

Mimi and Papa

Last weekend Spencer's parents- Ed and Lorie- came up to meet Reese. We had such an awesome time. I have the absolute best In-Laws in the whole world. We took our first day trip with the baby up the the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. If you are ever in Washington in April, you need to make the trip up there, it is absolutely incredible.

We also hit up Deception Pass. It's a place where there is a really narrow inlet, so when the tide comes in or out the flow is really fast. Pretty neat.

Reese did awesome. She was a trooper. This is pretty much what she looked like all day...

Making Faces

I was having way too much fun with Reese the other day. She is so expressive already. I really wonder what babies think about. She really is starting to have a little personality and it is so fun. I just love her!

Happy One Month Birthday!

I truly cannot believe our little Reesey Piecey is a month old! It has gone by so fast, but at the same time it feels like it's been forever. We are mostly loving it :) Last week we ended up taking Reese to the doctor and she was diagnosed with acid reflux. Now that she is taking her medicine, things have greatly improved and she is so much happier (and so are we.) She is getting really big- I'm sure she is 10 pounds at least. She has graduated from the newborn diapers to size 1. She is rapidly outgrowing her clothes too. Her newborn size onesies are pretty tight accross that big belly. She sleeps great at night and eats well. She loves to look out the window, especially when it's sunny. She also likes to look at herself in the mirror. She is starting to be more interactive and will mimic your facial expressions. She kicks her legs like crazy and loves to make noise. We actually had her sleeping in her own room after a couple of days because she makes so much noise in her sleep. I call her "Little Grunties."

Reese has had some visitors. My sister Megan came up to see her- she was so excited. Her original plan was to come and be with us in the hospital- but luckily my Dad put a stop to that right quick. It was fun to see the two of them together- Megan will be a fun aunt.

Granda Roberta Jones (the R in Reese) came up too. It was fun to have 4 generations of women together. We had a great time chatting and playing games.

Easter was nice. We watched conference and then had a nice dinner at my parents. We tried to take a family picture, but Reese was not being cooperative. Probably because we made her take a picture with the dog first.

Going Private

Now that Reese is here it is time to take our blog private. Please leave a comment with your e-mail address so I can make sure to add you to the list. Thanks!
