Daddy and Cooper made a bridge for me to crawl under

So it's been quite some time since my last post and I'll have to admit...my fault. It's been so nice having my family together with Dowell being on vacation for the last 4 weeks. I can't believe that he starts back to work Monday. Another season begins! We have had a lot of company in the last month. My parents, Nana and Popsie, as well as my grandparents, Reese's great grandparents, came to visit one weekend. Dowell's family, Mimi, Big Daddy, Aunt Darcey, and Keleigh came and spent about a week with us. It's nice to have family around and have everyone willing to help us out. It gave Dowell and me some time away and a few date nights! Speaking of date nights, Dowell and I got to go on a 'Mommy and Daddy' vacation...just the two of us. We spent 4 days in New York City. We went to a show, a Yankees game, and just walked around a fun city...a lot! We had a good time. Reese stayed with Nana and Popsie while we were gone and had a blast! I don't know if she even knew we were gone. As much as we love her, it was nice to get a little break.
Reese will be 11 months old tomorrow! Wow. I've been planning her 1st birthday party, looking at party supplies, cakes, pinatas, etc. It's so much fun! Dowell told me the other day, "I can't wait to see what you do for her future birthdays with all the time you've spent on this one." It's so true! I'm so proud of her. She's just becoming a little toddler. Right now she's all over the place. She prefers to be standing up. She will crawl, but once she gets to her destination, she's going to stand up on it. Doesn't matter if it's the TV stand or Cooper. She's trying to talk more and is imitating a lot now. We're teaching her how to call the hogs too. She raises her arms up over her head and grins really big! We have to say the "Wooo Pig Sooie," but she raises her arms every time. It's adorable. She imitates sounds and syllables too. Every time I say Cooper, she says "Da-ta" and says "tah-ugh" for thank you. She makes me laugh more everyday.
