Reesemiester Stats and Stuff

Reese was a little late for the 2 year check up (like 6 weeks or so) because of the the incident I wasn't too thrilled to show my face there anytime soon.  Just wanted to report his stats, and just so you know-I am thinking he is taller than stated.  Reese was crying and twisting as he laid down to get height measured.

Weight: 31.3 lbs
Height: 35 inches

He also had to get a shot.  I had a big talk with Abram beforehand, how we had to be super sweet to Reese and share, etc because he was gonna have a rough time.  It was really sweet, Abram kept making him laugh in between crying fits and right before the shot Abram said, "I don't want them to hurt my brother!" 

Poor Reese was so traumatized when I was sitting down holding him (he was facing me head on my chest my arms around him) that when I would lift my hand off his back-talking to the doc using my hands-he would grab my arm and put it back on his back, poor little fella.

I can't believe it's Summer already and it is SO HOT! It's been in the 90's all week.  Memorial Day was so fun, I regret that I don't have any pictures-I have been a little more selfish lately and actually getingt in on the action rather than staying back and taking pictures.  Fortunately it's fun, unfortunately no pictures to look back on how fun it was.  We met at the park and played ultimate frisbee and had a cook out.  Abram met a little girl he instantly clicked with who loves dinosaurs and getting dirty.  They were covered and having the best time.  I mean seriously, it looked like war paint all over his face.  We also tested out the neighborhood pool.  It was awesome, both boys LOVE it and we plan to make use of it this summer.

Just a funny moment last night. We got a water table yesterday and were playing outside. Abram took a cup and filled it with water and threw the water in the air straight up (so it came straight down on him). He and Reese thought this was hilarious.  We wouldn't you know, he got a little too close to be and threw the water up (he was behind me) and the water went on me. A. lot. of. water. Abram's eyes were huge and mouth dropped open when I turned around. "I'm SO sorry Mama." and in slow motion I took his cup....filled it with water....and told him he better run.  We had a water fight until all the water was out of the table.  It was so much fun, until he thinks we'll do that everytime we play with it.  We'll have to talk about that one. 

We have also had some super fun playdates.  That may have to be a post in itself.  It's fun having friends with kids that are the same age as my boys.  They get along so well.  Reese is also starting to talk up a storm, half of which is understandable. It happened like this with Abram, 2 months after his 2nd birthday...and he hasn't stopped talking since.  There is so much fun to be had this Summer even if it is blazing hot, and we can't wait.
