I had a dentist appointment this morning, so Reese stayed in bed with Daddy, watching cartoons. She heard me come home and came running out of the bedroom saying, "Ribbits, Mommy, ribbits." As I was trying to figure out what she was talking about, she ran to the TV in the livingroom, pointing, and saying, "Ribbits! Ribbits!" So, I turned on the TV, and put her cartoon station on. I figured there would be a frog on the screen or something, but lo and behold, it was a cartoon called The Wonder Pets.
So, Reese wasn't saying Ribbits, she was saying Wonder Pets! Oh, geez - how does she know that?! She's getting too smart for her own good. The sad part is, she knows Dora, Diego, Spongebob, and the Backyardigans. Every time one of these shows comes on, she yells the name of it! Ugh - cartoons!
Another funny Reese-ism happened last night. I have a Santa cookies and milk tray set out, and she grabbed the mug, filled it with some of my pop, and said, "Look, Mom - coffee." WHAT?! Oh my goodness. I have no idea where she learns this stuff. She's a little brainiac, I tell ya!

McDonald's Day Trip
Missy and I have started taking the kids to McDonald's once a week to eat and have a chance to play in the playscape. It's nice because it's something different and somewhere we can go even when it's 20 degrees outside! Reese and Dillon have such a good time and play so well together, it's unbelievable. They never fight, and are like a little pair of thieves. It's so fun to watch them together! And, we always have visitors. Last time, Mom and Evelyn came to play, and this week, Toni came to have lunch, and even Davie stopped by to say hi.
Here are some pictures from this week ~
The giraffe is so tall!
Kisses
Could she be any more freaking beautiful?!
Dillon literally falling asleep on the giraffe!
All hail Queen Reese!
Hey, Dillon - wanna race me to the top?
Cheese! Notice the blur? That's little Reese fingerprints!
Hugs - they love each other so much
C'mon, Mom!
Are we done?
More kisses?!

Just an Update
I took Reese for her check-up for the Croup today. Her temperature is back to normal, and the doctor said she sounds good. The cough will linger for a few weeks, but she's all better now! But, of course, the rest of us are sick! Sorry about that, Davie.
Reese also has had a funky rash on her face that the doctor said is Eczema. He thought about giving her steroid cream for it, but doesn't want to go that route quite yet, because they can build a tolerance to it. I'm going to have to do a little more research on it, because I think it may just be from her wiping her runny nose at night, and the skin is just irritated. I mentioned this to the doctor, so he recommended giving her some OTC Claritin to stop her runny nose, to see if that helps the rash. No one in either family (I believe) has Eczema, so it seems weird that she would. Anyway, it looks gross, and I'm ready for it to be gone! It doesn't seem to bother her though, which is a good thing. She never itches it or seems to be bothered with it, so I'm thinking it's not Eczema, which normally causes severe itching.
Anyway, I do have a funny story from today. Reese got a kitchen for her birthday, as most of you know, and it came with a little phone. It just has buttons that push in, nothing fancy. Well, today, she brought me the phone and said, "Broken, Mom, broken." I was like, huh? Then, I burst out laughing, and explained to Reese that it wasn't broken, and that it just isn't made to make noises. How spoiled are our kids? Every cell phone and toy for that matter makes a bazillion noises, so the first time one doesn't, it's "broken". Ey, yey, yey, these kids. Anyway, I got a good laugh out of that one!
Well, that's all for now - not too much going on. Jon and Nicole, we miss you already! It's so nice to have you guys home, and I'm so glad Reese remembers you both now. I love to see her cuddling with you! So, we will work on that job, and you guys better get your butts moved back up here. Oh, and Davie, Dora's eyes float. GROSS!
I'll post some new pictures, soon.

Bless You!
Oh, my little girl is so sweet and smart! We are sitting together on the computer, and I just sneezed. Reese looked up at me and said, "Bless you! Bless you Mommy!" How cute is that?! And, then I said, "Aw, you're so sweet." and Reese says, "So sweet." She's getting so smart and talking so much more! It just amazes me when she does things like that.

Our Long Week
Well, it's been a very long and hectic week! This past Wednesday, Reese went in for her 2-year check-up. She weighs 24 lbs 5 oz and is 32 3/4" tall. My little peanut! I was a little worried about how small she is, but the doctor said she is in the 25th percentile for weight, and 25-50th percentile for height. She said it was excellent, because so many kids are obese nowadays. And, her height and her weight are good in comparison to one another, so there's no worries. You can really tell she is getting tall and lean, though - at least compared to what she's always been! She's not Mommy's little butterball anymore.
A fun thing I was looking forward to on her 2nd birthday was finding out how tall she will be as an adult. When a child is 2-years old, you take their height and double it. This is how tall they will be as an adult. So, Reese will be 65 1/2" tall, or 5'5 1/2"! She's going to be short! I guess it's not that short, but I'm 5'8" and Patrick is 5'9", so it seems odd to have a child shorter than us. I guess she got the petite Johnson genes! Either way, she's a still a cutie.
Also on Wednesday, she got her flu shot. I was going back and forth about it, but I figured since she hasn't been sick yet, it would be a good thing to get the shot, and hope we keep her good health going. Boy, was I wrong!
A few hours after the shot, she came down with a fever, which is normal with vaccines - she always gets a fever after her shots. Well, Thursday, she woke up with a little cough and a runny nose. This can be common too, even though the vaccine is a "dead" virus. So, I just kept giving her Tylenol for the fever, and figured it would clear up within the next day or so.
Well, Friday rolled around, and her cough had now turned into a bronchitis-sounding cough. I started to get a little worried because she had a slight touch of pneumonia last year. Then, later Friday night, she was sitting on Patrick's lap watching TV, and all of a sudden, let out the most horrible cough I've ever heard. So, immediately I think, "Wow, that sounds like Croup." Don't ask me how I knew this, but I just had the feeling.
After researching online for a few minutes, I came to the conclusion that it did indeed sound like Reese had croup. We ran to Wal-green's at 1am to get some cough syrup, not knowing that it would do no good! Let's just say we had a very long night with Reese in our bed, coughing the most horrid barking cough you've ever heard. I knew then that I would be calling the doctor in the morning, and thank goodness my pediatrician is open on Saturdays! They got her in immediately, and confirmed my suspicions - it was indeed Croup.
The doctor said there wasn't much they could do since it was a virus, but she did check her lungs, and everything sounded perfect. She said to put her in the bathroom with the shower running if she had any coughing fits, and if that didn't work, to take her outside for a few minutes. With Croup, the vocal cords get inflamed, and the cold air can calm them down (odd, right?!). She also mentioned that Reese could possibly lose her voice.
For the rest of the day Saturday, Reese seemed okay. Sick, but okay. We went to dinner for Grandma's birthday, and she was her cheery old self, and even ate some Chinese food. We went to bed Saturday night, not expecting another long night ahead of us. She was up all night coughing, most of the time choking and gagging herself. She woke up in the morning, and I found her asleep in her bed after a few minutes. I let her sleep, and about an hour later, she came out to the livingroom, where she curled up on my chest and slept for the next two hours. I finally moved her into our bed with Patrick so she could sleep, and she slept there for another hour.
She finally got up and we took her to the Santa parade in town. We thought the cool air might do her some good. She enjoyed it for awhile, but ended up curled up on my lap, half-asleep. After the parade, we went to the store, where she pleaded, "Bye-bye, Mommy." The minute we left the parking lot, she was asleep. I transferred her to the bed when we got home and she slept for another hour. She woke up asking for juice, and I asked if she would like some soup. She went into the other room, and I thought she was getting her chair to eat. I went to take her the juice, and, no Reese. I went to my room, and there lies Reese, fast asleep in my bed again. At this point, I got a little worried. Anyone who knows Reese knows what I go through to get her to go to bed, so the fact that she's literally slept all day and went to bed by herself makes me a little concerned.
After lying with her for a few minutes, I realized she was wheezing pretty badly. She didn't look too well, either, with red, watery eyes, and purple circles under them. So, I paged her doctor, and she informed me that I should take Reese to the ER to have her checked out. The fact that she hadn't eaten or drank much all day was enough of a concern for her doctor. So, off to the ER we go! Before we left, I put Reese in her PJs. As I was doing this, she had a coughing fit so bad, I had to pound her back just to get her to breathe. She literally turned blue right in front of me! It was terrifying.
At the ER, they gave her Motrin for the fever and a popsicle for some fluids. She had a coughing fit so bad, she ended up throwing up the popsicle she had just eaten. After the Motrin kicked in, she tried to eat a goldfish. The first bite she took sent her into a coughing fit, and she threw up again. This poor kid - she couldn't even swallow! We took her for a chest X-ray which is the most torturous thing ever, and that came back perfect. They then decided to give her a steroid shot to calm the cords in hopes that she would be able to breathe better and actually eat something!
She was put through so much at the hospital, on top of being sick. There were thermometers stuck where nothing should ever be stuck ("Diaper, Grandma! All Done! Bye-bye!") and shots that no kid likes. The X-ray was probably the worst - with the torture contraption and me holding her arms above her head while she screams, "No, Mommy! All done! All done!", while she looks to Grandma to be saved. It's horrible to put your kid through that and have no way of explaining it to them....
But, after filling her antiobiotics and spoiling her with some new toys (a doctor's kit!) she fell right to sleep in the car again. I moved her into my bed where she has slept soundly for the past 3 hours. Let's hope I can get some sleep tonight too!!
Naturally, I postponed my surgery that was scheduled for tomorrow. I know that I can't take care of her like she needs to be if I've just had surgery. So, I will reschedule once she is healthy again and can stay with Grandma, so I can recuperate!
So, keep Reesey in your thoughts and hope that she gets better soon. She is one miserable little baby right now, and I wish I could trade places with her. It's horrible to see her so sick. And, I think Grandma and Davie are having just as big of a worry-fit as I am! Don't worry, Davie - Reese will be back to normal and playing ball with you in no time. Oh, and sorry that you had to spend your birthday at the ER, Mom!
Anyway, on a happy note - Reese really enjoys her new bassinet (for her babies!) from Grandma Johnson. And, at least we know it's made sturdy ;)

Reese's Birthday Party
Well, Reese had a couple of birthday parties! On the day of her birthday, Grandma, Grandpa, Davie, and Kelly came with us to McDonald's so Reese could enjoy some nuggets (oh, how she loves them) and some fun time playing in the playland. Again, Davie and Kelly spent the most time in the playscape with her, chasing her around and going down the slide. I swear, they're the greatest babysitters! I had a little "Birthday Shrine" for Reese since I didn't get to see her for the first half of her birthday. I felt horrible not being able to wake her up with a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" and a hug and kiss. But, I think she made out in the long run!

Playing with Nemo
Opening her Princess gift
She finally loves balloons!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And, then came her "real" birthday party. We celebrated that today, November 11th, with a Dora the Explorer themed party. All of her friends and family came over, and she had such a good time! She has so much fun with all of the kids, I just wish she could play with them all more often. She spent the day with Evelyn, Dillon, Owen, Mollie, Blake, and Cole, running through the house, and making a disaster of the playroom. It's so worth it to see her have so much fun, though. I think she has more friends than I do....
Once the cake came out, she really didn't know what to do. You can really tell she doesn't like all the attention on her (which is odd), because she got all nervous and started picking her nose when we sang "Happy Birthday" to her.
Not really sure what that face is!
Blowing out the candles
Completely confused!
Getting some frosting
She just had no idea what to do! Even when it was time to open presents, she just wanted to keep playing instead. Silly girl!
Trying to escape!
The adorable home-made card from Evelyn
Help from Grandma!
What is it?
These kids could not wait to open the BIG GIFT!!
All 5 of them were tearing it open!
This child is beyond spoiled. I swear, my house looked like it was Christmas morning. Let's just say that she's very loved!! She got so much Dora stuff - dolls, books, a DVD, 2 cell phones, a purse, jewelry and hair ties - you name it. She also got a kitchen, pots and pans, an inchworm ride-on, a dollhouse, a hand-made cradle with hand-made bedding and a blanket for her that matches, a princess doll, a Barbie doll and clothes, puzzles, Elmo, a laptop, a Nemo book and doll, Dora PJs, and TONS of clothes. And, then, when we thought it was all over, Uncle Davie walked in the door with a Princess tricycle! Boy-oh-boy, does this kid have it made! She is just beyond spoiled.
SPOILED ROTTEN!
"I just don't know what to do with all these toys!"
I can say that she did really well with all the commotion! She was pretty good about sharing her toys, even the new ones! I think she's just happy to have kids to play with. After everyone left, she and Dillon turned into two little connivers. They were running through the house stealing each other's toys, and then turning it into a game of tag! At one point, they ran into Reese's bedroom, and all we could hear was two little babies laughing their head's off. I went to see what they were doing and they slammed the door shut on me! I swear, they are like Bonnie and Clyde! Oh, what does the future have in store for us?!
Apparently, Dillon found Reese's jumping quite hilarious!
Being silly on Reese's "big girl" bed
Oh, and Evelyn enjoyed wearing Reese's fake hair all day!
"I'm too sexy for my hair!"
It's always the Dollar Store toys they love the most!
Well, after a VERY LONG DAY, Reese and I cuddled in her bed and watched her new Dora video. Her babies (all of them!) slept comfortably in their new cradle that had to sit right next to Reese's bed. And, after about 10 minutes, Reese was sound asleep, cuddled up in her new Dora blanket. Oh, what a day!
P.S. We missed you EJo!

Reese's 2nd Birthday
Wow - Reese's 2nd Birthday. Where has the time gone?! I never imagined myself with a 2-year old, so this is really weird. I can say it's easier than her 1st birthday, but it's still shocking to me. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She's so big - she talks constantly. She's very bossy, too! She yells, "C'mere! Play ball!" or "Mom, Nemo! C'mere! Lay down!" Her new thing to say about everything is, "I'll do it! I'll do it!" and when she does, she squeals , "Mommy! I did it!" She amazes me. She repeats everything I say, and has even donned the infamous Short "Dude". It's pretty funny to hear! Grandma and Grandpa finally got to see the devilish side of her last week. While Dad tried to put her jacket on, Reese threw a fit and screamed, "STOP! STOP!" in the middle of McDonald's. I think they were both pretty shocked!
Two?! When? How?
From Innocent Angel
To Deviant Devil in 2 seconds flat!
Cutie Patootie
Could it be any faker?
Yes, it can!

Pouting. She wanted more pretzels.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Johnson's!
Oh, and a funny little extra ~ Mom and I were just shocked how much she's grown since last year! Take a look...
Ahhhhh! She's a little girl. Where did my baby go?!
She's finally moved into her big girl bed and is doing really well potty training. The day she finally used to toilet was quite an interesting day. After her bath later that night, she informed me she had to use the potty. I told her to go ahead and go, as I was in the middle of putting laundry away. She returned to my room without a word, and began jumping on my bed. Suddenly, I smelled an awful smell. I thought, 'where is that poop coming from?!' I looked up to see Reese somewhat covered in poop, along with my clean clothes and bedspread. Turns out, she went #2 in the potty, didn't tell me, and proceeded to jump on my bed with a dirty butt. So, needless to say, she needed ANOTHER bath and I had lots of laundry to rewash! All I could do was laugh. Oh, man - what a day.
She also knows most her colors and alphabet, and can count to ten with you. Her favorite song to sing is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. It's the most adorable freaking thing you've ever heard. She sings "Twinkle, twinkle Staaaaaar" in the softest voice. I never knew she could be that quiet about anything! She's definitely got a singing voice - thank goodness! She's also a little drummer. Davie taught her how to play, and she goes to town on her drum set. She also loves to play her guitar and piano. When we were at Nicolas' Baptism, Mom kept her occupied on a full size piano for quite some time. She was very amused by it. She's my little Rockstar. She's also infatuated with the moon and stars. She has a moon in her room, stars on her ceiling, and has to see the real moon every night. I think she'll be an astronaut when she grows up.
She's also in love with Nemo. She watches it EVERYDAY, carries her Nemo blanket around, and sleeps with her Nemo doll every night. She even has 2 real Nemo's (she named them both Nemo) on her dresser. Of course, I feed them everyday! But, she's definitely obsessed. She also loves Dora (of course!) and has a full size Dora doll that she also sleeps with every night. She saw it in the store and was hugging and kissing her, so of course Uncle Davie and Aunt Kelly had to go buy it for her. I swear, this kid is so spoiled, it's pathetic. She does not go without! Well, we had her 2-year pictures taken. She loves to "smile pretty" which you will see is the corniest, cheesiest, fakest smile ever. But, it's funny to watch! Happy 2nd Birthday, baby girl. We love you!!
