Walker
Will and I were sitting on the front row during Sunday school on Sunday, and Reese wanted to get up to the table that the teacher put her stuff on. She couldn't reach, so she decided that she would just walk to it. I was so excited to see her first steps. I wanted to fuss over and congratulate her, but I was trying not to disrupt class.
Since then she's taken short walks, usually a few steps at a time. She walked down the hallway and halfway back once. We're so proud and excited!
Oh, and I don't remember if I mentioned it yet, but she now has a tooth and a half.

A couple of steps
The Friday before her first solo walk, she had some practice in the pool.
... at which time she had to be comforted by Daddy after getting mega-splashed.

Not Sleeping
I haven't been sleeping very well for the last couple of nights. I've taken to listening to the radio via earphones in bed. It's helped a little- though I still can't sleep at least I'm not bored. But I've had a hard time getting comfortable on the pillow partly because we lost the little foam thingies that are supposed to be on the ear pieces, and it makes my ear hurt a little (especially the right ear. I don't thinkmy right ear was designed with ear pieces in mind.)
I let Reese play with the contents of one of our desk drawers and -miracle of miracles- she found one of the foam pieces! I was pretty excited for about five seconds until she popped it in her mouth. It would be like a little baby Wet Willie.

Gallery
As you may have noticed, I haven't done a lot of blogging lately. I still probably won't for a little while. Here are some pictures of Reese to hopefully make up for it.
Baby Food Goatee
Bow in the middle of her head, where her arms aren't long enough to rip it off
Trying to crawl through the bottom shelf of Momma's night stand
Riding the bus. A favorite form of transportation because it doesn't involve being strapped to a carseat

Independence Day
In Logan, the stadium fireworks show was on the 3rd of July. We didn't mind. Reese took a late nap that day so she was able to stay up late for the show. We live just uphill from the show so we simply walked out on the lawn, spread our blanket, and enjoyed. Sure beats holiday traffic.
Reese did really well with the noise, and she liked the show- except she got bored halfway through.
