Yesterday

Yesterday Reesa pulled herself up from the floor and stood using Patrick to balance. What?! I couldn't believe it. She stayed standing for a brief moment and then sat back down and continued to play with her toys on the floor.

Yesterday we also finally bought Reesa a high chair. I had been looking on craigslist for a space saver one for about $25 and it just never worked out to connect with a person to purchase. Last Monday night we were at Alison and Aaron's house with Justin and Jessica; Jessica brought their high chair for Bailey and Reesa used it while having a snack. I asked Jessica about and Reesa seemed to like it just fine. Very simple. While at Target yesterday I saw it for $25 and decided to go forward and now we have a high chair at home. No more bumbo for meals.

Yesterday we also decided to give the Johnny-Jump-up another go. This time we raised the chair high enough so it was more of a swing than a jump-up. Reesa likes the swings and she seemed to like swinging in the doorway while Patrick made dinner.

We have also been looking at bike trailers for Reesa since we have biked a couple of times and will be in Sunriver for a week; we need a bike trailer. We've been looking on craigslist and most of them are either listed too high or are in poor condition. Patrick found one at Target on sale yesterday and I picked it up in Wilsonville after hanging at the park with Carrie and the girls. We don't need anything too fancy, just enough to hold Reesa and her toys while we stroll the waterfront or Sunriver in our case for the next week.

Reesa is soundly napping as we just finished a long morning at the park with Carrie, Maya, and Audrey. I absolutely love hanging out with Carrie. She loves to be out of the house with coffee in hand. Yeah for that. Maya also ate all of Reesa's snack, so Reesa had her first lesson about big kids eating your food if you don't eat it fast enough :)
