6 Months Old

Can you believe it? I can scarcely believe it myself.....6 months already! Sheesh. This was, perhaps, a long awaited moment in our little Shayli's life. She's been reaching for my food for weeks now in an attempt to catch me off guard and make me feed her some of my ice cream. ;)
And although what she got wasn't exactly ice cream (rice cereal with applesauce), she's taken to it quite well. I'll update that status again when we get to the peas!
She went to the doctor today and weighed in at 13 lb 8 oz and was 26 inches long.
I daresay she takes after her oldest sister. (Yes, yes. I know comparing children is wrong. But I say if they're all "perfect" go for it! Wink, wink.) Her disposition seems very serious and quiet (unlike Kendri and Kyson who thrive on being the entertainment). She wants me to tote her around with me most of the day. Luckily I have reinforcements to play with her after school! She's starting to scoot and raise herself in the crawling position. It shouldn't be long before she's mobile!

Watch Out!

Lexi and Kendri got skiis for Christmas this year. Ryan took them up to Bear Valley the Friday after Christmas. They did great! They both managed to get off the bunny slope by the end of the day. Although, I think Kendri second-guessed the idea after she got off the chair lift!
The good news is, she made it down in one piece and is ready to go again! Now all we need is snow......the pictures Ryan took showed snow on the runs only. Every where else was rocks and weeds. Obviously, it was man-made snow. If you look close in the picture above you'll see what I am talking about. There is no snow! We're keeping our fingers crossed we'll get some much needed rain soon.....because that will mean snow in the mountains. Who knows, maybe we'll be skiing May!

Christmas Afternoon

Here are some pictures of our Christmas afternoon. We were down in Tracy this year due to all the unexpected developments of the Reese family!
This is our little nephew Jackson. He loves Shayli. And he loves to shove her binky in her mouth. There are some kids that have what I call "Baby Radar". Jackson is one of them!
Lexi and Kendri got these cute blankets from their cousins. They've been sleeping with them every night since Christmas.

And Liz made these cute little stick horses for Kyson and Kaitlyn.....Giddy-up, Cowboy! And I bet you're wondering what I got???? A sewing machine. Don't worry. I've already made 2 pairs of pajama bottoms for Kyson. I'm what you'd call a "natural". :) Just kidding. But I do have a list of projects I'm planning on mastering. I'll keep you posted!
