Months 4 & 5

Little miss Reese is getting so big!!!!

At her 5 month appointment she was...

16.98 lbs (81%)

25.5 inches long (61%)

Head was 16 in in circumference (25%)

And she was right on with all of her milestones!!!

*Reese is still in 3-6 month clothing,

*Drinks 5-6 ounces of formula at a time,

*In size 3 diapers,

*Is eating rice cereal about once a day,

*Sleeps through the night, and still takes at least 2 naps during the day,

*She is rolling all over the place,

*she loves to be rocked to sleep. 

In the last week she has started flipping onto her stomach to sleep. This worries me a little, so I am constantly flipping her, but she always flips back! Scott says she must get that from me because I am a big fan of sleeping on my stomach. She smiles all of the time, but Scott claims she can be a "Drama Queen" if she gets tired! I still just can not get enough of her!!!

Zoo Fun!

Lacrosse

 Dakota started playing Lacrosse this summer and the whole family has enjoyed it.... probably more than Dakota :-)  I have never really watched a Lacrosse game before and I have been so surprised how crazy it is!  They basically just give them a helmet, shoulder pads and a stick and just let them go crazy!!!!  I really hope Dakota wants to continue with this sport!

Cali!!!!!

Dakota made a list of activities he wanted to do this summer and California was at the top of his list! Scott was not up for theme parks, but I was able to convince him to do a beach trip. 

I really like Carlsbad and was able to find a good deal on a little resort right on the beach. There were resturaunts all around it so once we parked our car, we never had to use it again. We literally spent 3 days doing nothing but the beach. It was so relaxing and to my surprise the boys never asked about Lego Land. Reese ofcourse was a little angel with all of the driving. Dakota on the other hand wanted to stop constantly to pee and finally had to start using bottles!

The first night we stayed in St. George. We ate dinner at a BBQ joint in Cedar City that Scott's neice owns, called Sonny Boys. Super yummy!!!!

The Carlsbad Inn by the Sea...

My view the first evening we got there,

Dakota loved Boogie Boarding and wanted to do it all day!

We had to make a trip to the Strawberry fields,

We drove the whole way home, but we stop in Las Vegas to eat a Buddy V's. Dakota loves Cake Boss and was so excited to go to Carlos Bakery, but the line was insanely long so he decided that we should come right when it opens next time.
