Friends

We have had a busy couple of weeks. We went to the pumpkin patch and took some cute family pictures. We also had three of my best friends from college visit us and meet Reece. Becky, Tara and Dana it was so great to see you!! Here are some cute pics from the visits and pumpkin patch!

4 Months

Reece turned 4 months on the 18th and it is hard to believe the big personality he already has developed. He is chatting all the time and is very animated when he plays with his toys. He also had his 4 month doctor appointment today. We had a full visit with measurements, shots and the go ahead to start solid foods when we are ready! He is in the 40th percentile in height and weight and the 90th percentile in head circumference.

I also wanted to recognize that my parents celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary last Tuesday. Here is a picture from dinner. I love you mom and dad and am so proud to be your daughter! You are both amazing!! Congrats on this milestone and to many more!!

Our Sweet Baby

Our little angel just gets cuter by the day! His new favorite toy is his exersaucer. Every time he gets in it he acts like it is the coolest thing he has ever seen. He loves standing these days. He actually prefers it over sitting. I have a feeling he may be an early walker. He may even surpass crawling, who knows? His other favorite thing to do now is take a bath. Although, he has always enjoyed bathtime, he really likes looking at his hands and feet now.
Reece is coming up on his 4 month appointment where he will get measurements and shots. We also get to start on solid foods! I am very excited about this. What fun we will have!!
I am looking forward to the change of seasons and all the fun fall clothes and shoes! Reece even got his very own MU onesie from my friend Lauren Martin. Hopefully, we have a little MU tiger in the making :)

Cuter and Cuter...

Reece is getting cuter by the day. He loves to ham it up for the camera. He spends most of his days cooing and smiling at us. We are having so much fun!! Here are some new pictures of Reece. He wore his first pair of shoes last weekend and we had to capture the moment. He stared at them all day. He even has his own Adidas workout clothes for days when we go on walks. I think we may have a soccer player someday :)













Playdates: Reece already has some great friends. Here are some recent playdates with Kari and Lucas Hanks and Kara, Evie and Nora Cowie.

3 Months Old

Reece will be 3 months old on Monday! Everyone says babies grow up so fast and it is true! Reece spends most of his day smiling, cooing and talking to us! He is so much fun and such a good baby. He is even sleeping through the night most of the time. We are truly enjoying every moment. It seems like every day he does something new.

Reece and I went to Ozark over the weekend while Ryan spent the weekend at the lake with some friends. Here are a few pics of Reece. Reece and his friend Ely Hawkins are hanging out in the first picture. The second one is Reece smiling at his Aunt Viva during lunch at the Tea Room.

2 Month Photos

It is hard to believe, but Reece turns 9 weeks old tomorrow. We had his two month pictures taken and had such a blast at the photo shoot! He is quite photogenic and was such a good baby. Below are a few shots.

Reece is doing great! He smile and coos at us every day! Life is good!

1 Month

Reece is 1 month old as of Monday! We saw the doctor on Monday and discovered Reece has reflux. So that is no fun, but he decided to show off for the doctor and reached a big milestone. He rolled over from his belly to his back for the doctor and then again today while on his activity mat. Our little showoff! Of course, I was clapping and Dr Waters was laughing at me! He has also gained a little over a pound since birth. He now weighs 8 lbs 5 oz. Hopefully, he will get to wear some of his 0-3 month clothes, instead of newborn only very soon!
Here are some recent pics...

3 Weeks

Reece turned 3 weeks old yesterday and he is growing like a weed! We had my Aunt Viva, my mom and cousins come to see Reece this weekend and had a great time. Here are some pictures of us at Crown Center and a picture of Reece and Ryan relaxing at home.

We are really enjoying our little boy and starting to get to know him better. He definitely keeps us on our toes and awake at night. Hopefully, that will change soon. Otherwise, we are having a great time and enjoying parenthood.

Reece Michael Lorei Has Arrived!

Reece Michael Lorei arrived on Monday, May 18th at 3:17 pm. He weighed 7lbs, 3 oz and was 19 inches long. He is absolutely beautiful and perfectly healthy! We are so in love with him and cannot wait for everyone to meet him.

Today is his 1 week birthday and he is doing great. He has his days and nights mixed up right now so we are dealing with that and not getting much sleep. But, overall he is a great baby and brings us so much joy! I am recovering well, although I am still very sore. We have taken him out for lunch a few times and that went well. Below are some pictures of him.

I will keep you updated! Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers. We love you all!

Ashley and Ryan
