I guess it has been awhile since the last update. Things have still been hectic around here....December left us with the stomach flu and colds and January has brought RSV and nebulizers. Brody had RSV and both kids were on a nebulizer every 4 hours. Brock was also gone during this time on a business trip to Florida so mommy was a bit busy with getting everyone fed, changed, and "nebbed" up. Reece pretty much hated the neb even though it had a friendly fish face...but M&Ms and chocolate donuts later, we made it through the treatments even without daddy's help. Reece is off the neb now but Brody must continue it until the cough is gone. We are all doing much better and daddy returned yesterday. We are so glad to have him home.

Reece is really enjoying taking care of her dollies. She talks to them in a cheesy voice - just imitating how mommy talks to Brody. She also loves taking care of Brody. She loves talking to him, hugging him, and bringing him toys. She is becoming quite the big sister. She is saying so many words now...I just can't believe how much she picks up on and repeats. These days she is really cracking me up with the things she does. For instance, she tries putting diapers on her babies. The straps usually make it around the baby's neck. Then she takes it off, looks inside and says "Ewww...poo-poo" and pinches her nose (for smelly).


Brody has discovered his thumb and is turning out to be a true thumb sucker.


Daddy came home from Florida yesterday...he visited Walt Disney World where he got Minnie for Reece and Mickey for Brody. Of course Reece thinks they are both for her.
While Daddy was gone, we set up Reece's tent in the house and had a slumber party with all her dolls. We turned off all the lights and read books by flashlight. She loves it when mommy hides in it and jumps out to say "boo". The tent was in the living room for a few days but once daddy came home, we put it up in the playroom. Reece and mommy hid in the tent from daddy and once he came in the house and was looking for us, Reecey ran out to greet him.
