Official thumb sucker!

I have seen Reese sucking on her thumb alot here lately. I will be sure to capture more of her doing this because it is so cute. It seems like she just started doing it daily this week.



Before I posted this, I went in to get another pic of Reese thinking that she might be sucking her thumb again.... she wasn't, but was fast asleep. You can tell she is getting lots bigger. Her next doc appt is this Thursday.


This right here is our miracle worker. For all you moms that have colic babes or just a cryer, this really will help!! GUARANTEED! We were using our blow-dryer for Reese when she would cry and the second we turned it on, she would stop. We figured out it wasn't the safest so we invested in a sound machine. We got one for our home & car. It calms her down to where she will stop crying and also helps her sleep. Jason & I are both grateful for it .....to help her out and to keep us sane :) . Thanks Holly for the tip!


Just a fam update: We went to Branson last weekend and decided to let Jonas swim in the indoor pool one night. It did not go well. We already know Jonas has some type of fear around large bodies of water bigger than his bathtub. The second he saw the pool, he began to cry hard.... real hard. We didn't stay long because he never calmed down and we were not sure what to do to help him. WELL, we have purchased Wild River tickets (our local water-park) and decided to take Jonas tonight. They have a kiddy section and we thought it would be less intimidating for him. WRONG! He cried the second he saw it, but this time we insisted on staying until he calmed down. He eventually did and we let him do whatever he wanted on his own timing. He ended up walking in the water (up to his ankles) and he smiled and squealed while doing so. It took him about 20 minutes to warm up, but he finally enjoyed himself. We hope he ends up liking water, because we both love to swim.


We don't have much planned for the weekend, but if we go back to Wild River, I will try to take the cam and get some pics. Jonas is really cute in his outfit. Thank you Grandmother Doreen for the swimmie suit. We think he looks rad in it! This was taken right before we left.
