Reilly and Camden
Here are a few memories with Reilly and Camden! They have a lot of fun together and are partners in crime. Camden does a great job of saying Reilly's name and also calls me Cole. Reilly isn't quite there yet...but any time now!
After Camden found one of Reilly's necklaces, it was reading time! I didn't set any of this up - they got the blanket and all cozy all by themselves!
Then they climbed up onto the love seat and lounged a while.
This was the Easter egg hunt hosted by CCU. They didn't find too many eggs because there were older kids around who actually knew the drill. It worked out though because they really don't need candy anyway. Reilly did get to lick a melted snickers out of the wrapper though.
We also had a day at the zoo. It was the kids, Lauren (Camden's mom), Chris and me. Camden didn't want to hold my hand, but was very happy to hold Reilly's.
This picture is a little out of order but here they were hugging goodbye. How cute!
They were able to see an orangutan up close and we could hardly tear them away!

Final catching up
Checking the mail while we're outside has become a daily ritual and she asks about it all day until we go outside and do it. She just says "mail? mail? mail?" It's also a great excuse to put her shoes on, so she points to her feet and says "shoe!"
We were also given a swing set by cousins, and Reilly has enjoyed it so much. It keeps her entertained for a good long while as well, so that's AWESOME.
Here Reilly is having a little afternoon snack with Mommy. Since I am around 20 weeks pregnant (we have an appointment tomorrow and hope to have a better estimate of when we're due) I have multiple meals a day... and I always have to share. Reilly won't let it be any other way.
That is all for now. Be sure to scroll down though because I did two posts before this one (all in the same day. Yes, I know that breaks the code of conduct for bloggers.)
Iowa Trip
It was a last minute decision once some plans changed and I saw that the flights looked good to and from Omaha, so away we went! We got in late Thursday night and flew out on Monday morning. Reilly was good on the plane as usual, but things always go better when we have an open seat next to us. The flight back we didn't, and we were both happy to get out of there and be home. :)
Bethany and Liam came to my parent's house as well and it was great to see them both! Reilly enjoyed helping us giving Liam a bath. Holding him like you see here was a true chore because this boy doesn't know how to bend and sit! So, I had to support pretty much his whole weight because he was a stiff as a board in the bath tub.
My dad was able to take a few days off as well, so he and Reilly had some good bonding time at the piano.
We of course made a few trips to Bamboo Village plus did some hometown shopping. All in all, a great vacation. I am pretty sure it will be the last time that I travel with Reilly by myself though. I just don't have the energy anymore!
From months ago...
Sorry I have been a lame blogger lately. As I sit here typing my kitchen floor needs to be washed, the kabobs need to be skewered and I need to figure out what I'm making for a small group snack tonight. Two weeks in a row I was feeling very summery, so for small group I made strawberry shortcake for one week and blueberry buckle for the other. Now I am afraid that I set the bar too high. It's a terrible place to be. But anyway, since it's been so long since I blogged I thought I should bump it up to the top of my list - even though I have plenty of stuff to be doing. :)
Reilly loves fruit in general (even when it's bitter and nasty by my definition) but when we bring out the smoothies, she's all over it. We do water them down...but don't tell her that!
This is her enjoying her after-smoothie face in the mirror.
Months ago I spoke about snow pictures, and these are it! I have no idea when these are from, but we did indeed go out and play in the snow. I very accidently got snow in Reilly's face and that was when the fun stopped. Can't blame the kid.
Now whenever it's chilly out or snowing Reilly puts a hand on her chest and says "brrr!"
