I know it has been a long time, stop yelling at me...I could start out this post with a long line of excuses about why it has been so long since I have updated. I'll spare you and lets just agree that life gets busy. With all of that business I must have a lot to tell you about, you must be thinking. Well, you're right, so lets get to it.
Ada will be six months old on Tuesday! I can't believe we are already that far along, but here we are. On the other hand it feels like she has already been with us forever. She is such a big girl already. I guess the big news is that she is eating solid foods now, well, mush anyway (thats what we call her rice cereal; in reference to a book that we read her at night) and as of this week some vegetables and rice crackers. She seemed to like green beans alright, but flat out refused to eat peas. I don't blame her. Although I did try some of them myself and they weren't all that awful. I have eaten much worse and lived to tell about it. I hope she is not a picky eater since Jennie and I are somewhat adventurous with our taste in food. I think we are going to try sweet potatoes tonight I don't see how she could not like those, too bad she will have to wait awhile for Dads sweet potato casserole...maybe by thanksgiving.
In Other Reese family news we took our first family vacation at the end of February. We were kind of anxious about traveling eight hours in the car with Ada. Every since she was born she hated her car seat; I know, "Thats so weird babies usually love car rides" "My kids always went right to sleep" Ada is not the typical baby a fact she like to constantly remind us with when we try to do normal baby stuff with her. Miraculously however, about a week before our trip I picked her up from Jennies sisters house and she fell asleep on the way home, hallelujah! We were heading to
Ruidoso, New Mexico which is about eight hours away so we decided to leave at night and get a hotel halfway to break the trip up a little bit. That way if she screamed the whole way we would only have to hear four hours of it. To our surprise she slept the whole four hours and then another four after we snuck her into the hotel room. The next morning she slept most of the way to Ruidoso as well. We had a nice little timeshare condo up there and Nana and Pops and met sister Meagan came to stay with us as well. It was Dadddy's birthday so we got to celebrate that while we were there, and it was one of the best I can remember having. Ada and Pops hit it off right away and were best friends the whole time we were there, it was very sad watching them have to leave each other at the end of the trip. Nana did what Nana does best and spoiled us all to death. There is a downtown area with lots of gift shops and galleries and things and Nana got us all something special, it was a really good trip despite being very windy and a little cold, which kind of put a damper on doing more outdoor things. The trip home went well also, and we are already looking forward to our trip to Sedona with Grandma and Papa Sheahan over Memorial day weekend.
I have more things to share but I don't quite have time right now, so how about a to be continued and a goodbye for now. I promise the next one won't take so long. With Love.
