Belly Update #1!!!

Well, I am 16 Weeks Pregnant, and feeling HUGE! But I am not sick anymore and that is for sure a good thing! I am eating like CRAZY, and I have to pee every 5 minutes...just lovely! Just so everyone is in the know...for the rest of the pregnancy until we meet and name the baby, (which by the way my ultrasound is on March 13th! ) he/she will be referred to as "Syrup." You want to know why??? Well, about 3 weeks ago my mom and I had just picked up Reese and she was sitting in the back seat of my mom's car, and we asked her,

Britt: "Reese do you think Aunt Britt's baby is a boy or a girl?"

Reese: "A girl!"

Mom: "What should Britt and Brett name their baby Reese?"

Reese: "Syrup, like what I put on my pancakes!"

And she was serious and it just stuck! So, from now on if you see "Syrup" anywhere, thats what i am talking about, My Baby! HAHA

The Zoo!

*Well Brett and I had the wonderful idea that we would take Reese and Evan,(our nephew on Brett's side!) to the zoo! So I packed Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, (even though Evan told his Dad that he didn't eat the WHOLE TIME we were at the zoo!!!!) We went and It was a blast! Both of them were so good for us and they got along great for not playing that much other than our wedding festivities!
*We spent a good 15 minutes standing at the giraffe exhibit, they both loved it! And that day the animals were all pretty close so they could really see them well!
* I know that Reese really enjoys going to the petting zoo... NOT MY THING! But we went anyways! Uncle Brett really handled the whole petting zoo saga and i just took pictures because they were so cute. After the petting zoo we went to the tree house play ground. Reese was in heaven she could be in the dirt and it was ok! Evan was a little nervous about the dirt but he enjoyed it after Reese showed him the ropes of that tree house, She knows it like the back of her hand, they go to the zoo lots! That was when i just got to sit down and relax...the zoo is a lot of walking...and I got tired! But all together the day was a blast! The Monkeys were so funny and Reese and Evan both thought " They are so cute!" So Reese decided we had to make it a "Kodak moment" and take a picture with it!

Valentine's Goodies!

Well Valentine's is on Saturday obviously... and my Mom or to some people "Barbie" wanted to have a little girls day with Reese. So we decided to get together and make cookies, dip chocolate pretzels, and dip strawberries in Chocolate! Reese was so excited to hangout and just be the girls! I am pretty sure Reese, just like her mother and Aunt Britt, LOVES COOKIE DOUGH MORE THAN COOKIES THEMSELVES! So as my mom's sweet new mixer was mixing the dough I turned my back for 2 seconds, and i look back and see a little hand reaching in to the bowl and eating HANDFULS of cookie dough! She is so crazy!

Reese also wanted to do "Projects" all the middle of eating a snack, making cookies, giving Ginger treats, painting her nails and watching the new Barney video that Carly had given to her for Valentine's. So My Mom and I got out all the items little Reese would need to make her "projects" for her Mommy and Daddy. This kept her busy for a long time!And my Mom and I could finish the cookies in about half the time with out our trusty assistant!
Thanks Mom for letting us get your kitchen all messy just to make cookies! We all had a blast!
