Gettin' ready for gameday

Reese will be attending her first Gator Game on Saturday when the University of Florida takes on Western Kentucky right here in Gaines-vegas! Reese is very excited and can't wait to experience the pageantry of being at the Swamp with her closest 90,000 friends as the defending National Champions take the field!

This outfit is for 12 month olds, but Reese isn't too far from filling it out completely. With all of the tailgate food and beer this season, she'll probably be ready for an XL #15 jersey by the time we play FSU.

For some reason, Reese gets the biggest kick out of feeling my face when I haven't shaven...enjoy.

"Larger-Baby"

This past weekend Jen and I had to finally adjust the harness position of Reese's carseat to accommodate our growing baby girl. We moved the straps up to the top slot, re-fastened everything and thought that we'd be good to go. The shoulder-straps were now in a good position, however, the waist straps were too short to comfortably contain Reese's belly.

Trying to figure out some of these "baby apparatuses" seems to require a mechanical engineering degree...or at least breaking down and looking at the directions. So we dug into our over-stuffed file folder containing warrantees, product information and directions to all the "baby apparatuses" we own.

After quickly thumbing through the carseat manual, we realized that we'd need to "Lengthen waist straps for a LARGER baby". Apparently our pediatrician wasn't exaggerating when she told us that Reese's weight and length put her in the 97th percentile of babies her age.

Don't let this be a one-sided conversation...

Now that we've finally made this site public (and by public we mean private to just you select friends and family) we're going to be a bit more dedicated to keeping up with posts. Check back often and then check back again...and when you do, be sure to leave your comments.

As much as you all like reading and viewing what is (and what will be) on this blog, we like reading your responses. I know, I know...some of you are shy when it comes to expressing your thoughts and feelings in a public forum (and by public we mean private to just you select friends and family), but rest assured that there are only a few privileged members of this highly sought-after membership.

We're greatly looking forward to everything you have to say!
