Happy Mother's Day!

Hey Everyone! Today is Mother's Day! It was my Mom's first. It was actually a 3 day event for her! My Dad had to leave early on Saturday morning for a trip to the "sand box", so we got to celebrate on Thursday. Dad and I got her a Roomba and a huge picture of me framed, she loved both of them! Then, yesterday, Mom and I went over to Grandma and Grandpa McPherson's for the day. We had a great time hanging out. I have recently started to REALLY jump in my jumparoo. I love it! It sure makes everyone laugh when I start jumping. So needless to say, we had a lot of fun. Then, today, we went over to Nana's house for the whole day. We had a good time. We went on TWO walks in the stroller. I am finally getting big enough where I can sit up and check everything out as we walk. I got to see lots of big trees and pretty colorful flowers. I'm so glad I'm getting bigger! I got to see my Great Aunt Jenny and my Aunt Jenny too. We had a great day.

My Dad recently turned 30!! I don't think he was excited about this, but I guess it was his turn since my Mom turned 30 in December. Daddy's friends Brian Lohrke and Brian Vizzone flew in from out of town to surprise him. It was a fun time. Dad was glad to see his buddies.

I have started SITTING UP! I'm not a pro at it by any means, but I can do it! I like being able to grab all my toys rather than laying on my back or stomach. I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before I get better at it. (which means I don't topple over).

I am getting so big. I have my 6 month appointment in a couple of weeks, so we will get to find out exactly how much I weigh. My Mom thinks I'm around 17 or so pounds, but we'll see. I will let you guys know once we find out.

I started eating some big girl foods too! I've had some rice cereal, oatmeal, prunes, sweet potatoes and apples! I've only had a little bit of each, but I enjoy it all so far!

Just so you know, the picture of me in the highchair is special because this highchair is exactly the same as the one that my Nana had when she was a baby. And my Mom used to be in it too! My Mom found this for my Nana as her Mother's Day gift. She was SO excited!

To all the mothers out there, "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!"

P.S. Daddy, if you are reading this, we sure do miss you and can't wait for you to get home.

Love,
Reese
