New Nephew: Rush Christopher Reisman

Rush made his appearance into the world on Tuesday, January 26th @ 5:32pm. He weighed 7.96 pounds and was 18.5 inches long. The new family is doing wonderful...here are some pictures of him...we are going to Stephenville today to see him and just can't wait!

Mayci 4 Month Check Up & Shots

So yesterday was Mayci's 4 mo check up and of course the dreaded shots! She weighed in at 12.15 pounds and was 24.24 inches long. She is ranging around 40% for both. Dr. Kastner said we can start cereal if we would like as well as baby food. Mayci did pretty well with the first shot, just cried a tiny bit but then the second one was another story, her face was SO red...I felt horrible. Casey had to work so I was solo with her as well. She was laying in my lap when the nurse gave her the shots so she looked at me like "Why did you do that Momma?". Next time I will lay her on the table so she doesn't think it was ME! The rest of the day was ok, she had one more crying fit, maybe the Tylenol wore off? I gave her a warm bath like usual and I think that helped with the soreness because she went right to sleep and stayed asleep till about 7 am this morning. Here are some pics from before we went back and of while we were waiting on the doctor...she had to be stripped down so that is why she is just in a blanket.

Pictures!!!

Mayci's First Christmas & New Years

Whew! The holidays were crazy, we traveled everywhere it seemed but had a wonderful time. We went to Mississippi, Mayci's first trip over 2 hours and she did GREAT! It was exciting to get to show her off to my grandparents and family that hasn't met her yet. After MS we went to Star and had a big Christmas there where Mayci went to her first MOVIE! We saw Sherlock Holmes, she slept which was nice. After Star we went to Stephenville and had a WHITE Christmas, Mayci wasn't really in a good mood that day so the pics aren't so great. For New Years Eve we went to the movies yet again to see Avatar which was good and she slept during it as well. I am back at work so Mayci is back at the sitter which is going ok, for her not me, I hate it! I will bring my card tomorrow and post some new pics for you all to see!

Thanksgiving, Check Up, Etc.

Mayci's first thanksgiving was wonderful, she got to spend it not only with family but with the Tarleton men's basketball team...there was TONS of yummy food, none of which she got to have but Casey & I sure made our mark. I have some pictures that I will post of her for you all to see...she slept through lunch which was sort of nice because it gave me a chance to eat!

So I started back to work yesterday...BOO HOO! It is going okay, Mayci is doing GREAT with Mrs. Yolanda, her sitter...way better than myself! I cried all day Sunday just not wanting the day to end.

Mayci is still changing every day...cooing & smiling. It is so crazy how the time has flown, it is already DECEMBER! We put her in her bumbo last night...she looks small but did a great job holding her head up, must have gotten tired after a little bit because she go fussy. I took a picture with my phone from across the room so it is a little blurry but you will get the idea. Now that I am back at work I should be able to post more often.

Oh, Mayci went for her 2 month check up on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. She weighed 9.9 lbs and was 21.75 in long. She had to get 3 shots but did so great, I think I cried longer! I have to say I am getting a little sad because she is outgrowing her newborn outfits, just in length...time to box them up!

More Random Pictures

Mayci likes to fall asleep when she is supposed to be doing "tummy time" and building her neck muslces.

This is Mayci & her best buddy Kyler on Halloween day...we didn't plan their outfits although one day when they are older they will probably hate that they are dressed the same.

She was talking to her Mama!

This is at Casey's last football game...she looks sort of like a boy in her blue camo but it was a little cool & that is her football stuff.

6-7 Weeks

So I know it has been forever since I have made a post, I will try to do better. Mayci will be 7 weeks tomorrow night @ 10:35pm...I can't believe it, time flies. I am loving being a mother and getting to spend every minute with this precious gift from God. Football is over so now Casey can be home more which is good for all of us.

Mayci is growing like a weed and changing every day. She is starting to get her personality...smiling & talking, it is so cute I could just eat her up. Well have to go, Mayci just woke! Here are some random pictures...taken with my cell phone so quality might be a little shabby.
