Almost 6 Months and Doing Great!

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well and has a great long weekend planned!

I hate to brag, but I'm really doing great.

• I'm a pretty good night sleeper (still getting up entirely too early but more about that later)
• I only complain when my parents are starving me or I'm very tired.  Or I'm constrained in a carseat for an unreasonable amount of time. 
• I like to talk! Babababababa is my go-to, but this will expand over time.

I've also become a super sitter! Here the most uneventful 66 second video you will ever see. I'm going to ruin the ending by telling you that absolutely nothing happens except that I sit.

I'm starting to play with my toys, with the average attention span of about 30 seconds.

I love books and magazines, and have been very focused on catching up on fall fashions.  I don't have enough leather in my wardrobe to consider myself a true fashionista, but I'm setting trends in my own way.  I promise that I wear more than just pajamas, for those of you concerned that my wardrobe is very limited, based on this post.

Here's me devouring (literally) In Style, and playing with my new favorite toy, a toothbrush. I like to rip out the pages, ball them up and eat them before anyone can catch me.

Here is something that many of you may not know about me!  I like to rise with the roosters, somewhere between 5-6am.  Lots of times I fall back asleep, but when I don't, mom and I usually hit the road and go for a jog.  

Note the sun rising in this photograph.  Yay!

I'm almost 6 months old, so get excited for my upcoming photo shoot. I have a blowout scheduled for Sunday night, but I'm unclear (and slightly concerned) about what my outfit will be.  I'll also include some general stats about me.  

Have a great long weekend!

Love,
Gillian

My Christening

August 18, 2013

Hi all!

Greetings from God's Kingdom, of which I am officially a member (I've got the baptism certificate to prove it)! 

Today was a pretty exciting day for me, and I was so lucky to have my family there to support me as a strange man poured water on my head and dabbed oil in my hair.  I'm especially thankful for my awesome godparents, Aunt Shannon and Uncle Tim!

If you guys like my outfit, please thank my Mimi... this is what my mom wore to her baptism many years ago!  I even have a pendant on that Mimi wore at her own baptism. I'm a real historian today!

Here is a link to all the pictures.  Big thanks to Uncle Chris for being such an awesome photographer!

Love,
Gillian

5 Months Old!

Hi team!

Things have been going great in my world.  I turned 5 months old this week- can you believe it?  No major updates other than Mom going back to work last week. I'd say it was a little touch and go for her, at first, but she seems to be doing well! I know she's thankful for her Google family for making her feel so welcome.  I miss her but love Rosenda, who is my new buddy. 

Onto a more exciting topic: ME! I am up to some great stuff:

I am still loving my exersaucer:

                                   

I LOVE FOOD.  Here is some amazing footage of me sampling guacamole. 

                                           

Here's me with my homies, mom, dad and Rosenda!

 In general, I am pretty fun to be around, if I do say so myself!  Here is a link to all the pics from my fifth month, and here is where you can buy them!

Love,

Gillian Reese
