Makin' her Mommy proud...

First of all, thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers for our friends, the Deckers. I know it is such a comfort to them to have so many people praying for their comfort. They are doing as well as anyone could expect, but please keep them in your prayers.

This last weekend I was out of town on Beaver (grown-up) Girls' weekend, so R and David got to have Father-Daughter weekend. Evidently, Friday night she decided she did NOT want to wear her Nite-nite Dress (aka nightgown) and picked out this from her closet for her pjs. And as you can tell in the following pictures, she hasn't taken it off since. Literally. Except for baths, but then puts it right back on again. (love the hat backwards, just like Romo.) Seriously, how proud am I?!?!?
I realize they all look the same, but these pics are over a 3 day period. Move over Jessica!! Tony's got a new fan!


David said this pic was unprompted... she just made the face for the camera. :) Goofy girl.
This was Daddy's first hairdo all by himself! He did a pretty good job of the pigtails!
She cracks us up!
Eating a little watermelon with breakfast.
We now can spell Romo, and are quite proficient at recognizing the number nine thanks to the jersey!
She was calling Cassidee on her phone, not sure what about though.



This is her "cheese" smile. Not that natural for her, but I'll take it for the camera!
Thanks Alicia for the jersey!! It is QUITE the HIT! :)

Reagan update:
Got results back on her blood work, and R's peanut allergy is listed as a "high level 2." That is with level 6 being the worst. So, we are so thankful that hers isn't so severe that we have to worry about airborne stuff or anything like that, just making sure she doesn't eat peanut products. We can handle that for sure. :)
Brooklyn update:
Not much to report, other than lots of great kicking! We see my specialist again on Sept 6th, so prayers for that visit to go well would be appreciated. And prayers for David and me as we begin the hunt for the best surgeons for B. Thankfully, we have some connections with a friend who is a neurosurgeon who can give us some recommendations to docs here in Houston. Makes me feel so blessed to have an "inside scoop" and not just have go with whomever they assign. Other than that, things are pretty much in the holding pattern. Oh, and Reagan has started singing to Baby Brooklyn, which melts my heart. Today, she tried to pry open my belly button to "open it to Baby Brooklyn." :)

Wow, I am impressed with David's pigtail skills! And LOVE the Cowboy outfit. I'm a fan of the backwards hat!

Amber said...

I so love this post! Congrats to David on the pigtails, Aric has NEVER tried anything like that.

You know I dig a little girl in a jersey. Romo would be so much cooler if he'd just dump you know who....

Isn't it so sweet when they sing to the baby???? You have to get a video of that for the grandparents. Noah thought that the belly button was the "gateway" too. He'd try to tickle her, and suprise me by sticking his finger in there.

Hmmm, is that too much information?

So cute! Love the jersey, and I, too, am impressed with the pigtails. When Clint's in charge, we get a headband worn sweatband style, like Rambo. And Roselyn is constantly asking to 'open' and 'close' baby brother, meaning she wants me to pull up my shirt so she can see him. But she hasn't ever sung to him - that is the sweetest thing ever. Love y'all!

Tracy said...

"Move over Jessica" is right!! She is SOOOO cute with her backwards hat and jersey!!!

Alicia said...

Glad the jersey is a hit! It is too cute... seeing those makes me want to go get one for Ella. :) So ready for Cowboys season!!!

I am impressed that he even thought to take pics...and the hair, wow super dad!! :) I wanted you to know that we are praying for great things and also to tell you that my great uncle is one of the best hand surgeons in Houston, maybe he could recommend a few as well? Let me know...

She is getting so big! Her hair is so sweet. I bet you are soooo busy! Love y'all!

Hey Jodi,

Love you!!!!
