Just a quick shot of my sunbathing chick.  She loves being outside.  Big brother does too, however, after about 5 minutes his tongue is laying flat on the concrete.  Such a trooper.

Can't believe I didn't post this, but Reese took her first steps on Thursday of last week.  So, let's see, 11 months and 12 days.  It was amazing!  We've been waiting on her to take off for what seems like forever.  She never really loved the whole crawling thing.  Before 8 months she was pulling herself up in her crib and right after that she was walking like a champ around the coffee table.  She hates to crawl and has scaled the walls for 3 months now.  I'm not sure if we should have been trying to promote this harder, but as soon as we tried she took 2 steps to mom.  I'll let you know when she's ready to enter her first 5k.  Please let me get her 1st year pictures done before she's running around!

On another note, what a fun Saturday night we had (thanks to one of my best friends Mhari). She stopped by to play with her favorite little girl and then we headed out for dinner.  It was wonderful.  If you ever need a reminder that you are part of the human race just go out with a girlfriend. After dinner, the braddy bunch were on our town square listening to a live band (a tradition I haven't done since I was in the 5th grade and the highlight was watching the cloggers.  remember clogging?  I actually did it for a year (mom made me finish the entire class) oh, thank goodness that went out with puff paint.  Back on track, Reese had so much fun. For me it was a scene out of Sweet Home Alabama (a classic).  I ran into friends I haven't seen in a long time. Something that is hard to do since my hometown is no longer small and is taken over with growth.  It was great.  Mhari, please send me your pic of the billboard.  After dinner, Mhari stops (when the light is green, I might add) to get a picture of the princess on the billboard.  (the guy behind us looovvved us as you might imagine).  I'll get one posted soon. Can't believe with all the fun we had Saturday, I did not get one picture.  When Dallas reads this he will have something smart to say about that, I'm sure. 

Thanks for all the sweet comments about Reese. At church yesterday everyone came up smiling "We saw Reese!"  She loves her fans.

Sorry, I got a little parenthesis happy today.
