Grandpa Jim's Balancing Act

Grandpa Jim has always tried to balance babies once they are able to hold their weight. There are a ton of pictures of him balancing Uncle Chris, but none of balancing Mommy.

Reese went to her first circus a few days later and learned more about balancing from the Gamma Phi Circus on campus at ISU.

Reese Rolls Over!

I was down on the floor with Reese today doing tummy time and then all the sudden she rolled over. I took a picture after she rolled from her tummy to her back. I think she was kind of scared and just looked at me like I did something. I was so excited for her.

Grandpa Jim's Birthday

We celebrated Grandpa Jim's birthday by going to Gil's and then back to our house for cake.

Sitting up like a big girl

Reese thinks she is big stuff sitting up in her bumbo seat. It is a lot more fun to play and watch things from this angle.

Reese's First Easter

It was a big day for Reese today. We went to church with the whole Derry family. Everyone passed her around and got a chance to hold her. Then we went to our weekly Sunday lunch at Grandma Sandy's house. All the kids and grandkids got baskets. No one had to search for them this year, but we all look forward to Miss Reese looking for her basket and eggs next year.

After lunch, we went over to Nana and Papa's for an afternoon meal and Easter celebration with that side of the family. Miss Reese is spoiled by everyone!
