Reese has entered the phase of repetition. And I know this is only the beginning. She is constantly repeating her actions, words, and points to us to repeat our actions multiple times in a row. She is also insanely obsessed with covering her eyes with her hands, and then pulling them away quickly while Kyle and I say "Peekaboo". It never fails that she giggles each and every time.
Kyle took the day off to spend with Reese since he will be at a bachelor party this weekend north of Madison. He took the liberty of entertaining our daughter this morning with various YouTube videos he likes to watch as well; including, but I am sure not limited to, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Kiss videos, and well as some Stevie Wonder. At least my husband has decent taste in music :)
Reese and I are looking forward to a relaxing weekend at home. We will be going to a play group tomorrow morning, and hopefully getting some swim time in with this nice weather! We might even have to make a "necessary pit stop" at the mall :)

Adventures
This past week was a busy one, for both Kyle and I. On Thursday, I celebrated my 26th birthday. Kyle made a DELICIOUS dinner (steak, shrimp, and asparagus.) We enjoyed an "adult dinner" after putting Reese to bed and had good wine and good conversation. Also this week, Kyle made the tough decision to put in his resignation at his current job, Aova Technologies, which is a small biotechnology company. There he was the VP of Marketing and Sales. He has chosen to move forward with his career and took a position as the General Manager for Globalcom, here in Madison as well. Globalcom is a technology company and specializes in security (installing security cameras, doing door passcodes for hospitals/daycares,etc.) Here he will be the Manager of the division, and will oversee operations while trying to boost revenue and writing business plans. He will be the manager of 6 others in the division. I think he is excited, but torn with the decision to leave Aova. He will dearly miss his co workers who he has spent the past 5 years with, but he is ready for new challenges and obstacles with this job. It will entail more hours in the beginning, but he will no longer be traveling outside the country (which I am happy about!)
In the world of Reese, she is becoming a little toddler now. She is a complete walker, and likes to babble and talk.
She says Mama, Dada, bubble, Jack (our cat), hi, bye bye, baba (bottle), tata (water), and puhh (for please).
I am also now referred to as Kay-eee (Kali) by her. I am no longer Mama. It is quite comical to hear her walking around the house calling out my name! She moves upto the toddler room at daycare on September 1st, and I am looking forward to her being in a new room, learning new "big kid" things, and meeting new friends!

Is it over yet?
I have to say this has been the "week from hell" for me. Generally, weeks fly by, and I seem to wish they didn't go so fast. Not this week. I am overjoyed that it is Friday. My reasons being on Tuesday my phone broke, on Thursday, my car got damaged, and today I managed to sleep in (and yes, i DID have to work!) Needless to say, you can see why I am so happy this week is done.
On Tuesday during the middle of the day, the screen on my phone went completely black. It is still covered under warranty, so I was able to get a new one at no charge, but went without a phone from Tuesday until today. It sure would have been useful to have on Thursday when a piece of wood went flying off a semi, hit a van, bounced off the van and hit me, and then hit the car behind me. REALLY?!?! I was positive it was coming through the windshield, but I managed to maneuver my car so it just hit the front right bumper/fog light. Damage totalled at $1750. Thank goodness for our $500 deductible. As if my week could get any worse, my brain decided to turn off my alarm this morning without waking up. I rolled over to a clock that read 7:45 am. Hmm..."is it Saturday" I thought to myself. NO! I am supposed to be there at 7:30. I called work, threw on clothes, and flew out the door. UGH. Let's just say I hope my bad streak for the week is done.

Flip It!
Yesterday was a busy day for the Montgomery household. In the morning, Reese had her 1 year pictures taken. Kyle's co-worker takes wonderful pictures so we invited her over to do Reese's. She did a GREAT job! To see the pictures, visit www.froseth.com and click on "Children" and then "Reese is 1". I can't thank her enough for doing them!
Kyle then headed down to IL to drop Reese off with his parents for the night. We were holding the 2nd Annual Swan Creek Flippy Cup tournament last night in our garage (Swan Creek is our neighborhood). We had 4 couples, 1 could not attend, and many games were played. I will say, the girls did dominate the majority of the games, and my new nickname became the "one flip wonder" :) I must say I was pretty proud of my skills which have not been polished since college! For those who do not know, flippy cup is a beer/drinking/race game with 2 teams. The team to drink their beer and flip all of their cups over on the table, wins! We had a great time. It was odd to wake up this morning to a quiet household, and to look at the clock and see 9:49 am! I almost had a heart attack. But, figuring we didn't go to bed until around 2am, I got in my 8 hours of needed sleep, and I must say, I feel wonderful today!

1 year check-up
We had Reese's 1 year check up today. We celebrated by...having pink eye! She got pink eye yesterday and was off from daycare today due to a goopy, nasty mess in her eyes. They were swollen shut this morning, so Kyle took the day off and stayed at home with her. But, since she had 3 doses of drops, she is no longer contagious and we made our 5 o'clock dr's appt for her 1 year check up. She got three shots and had minimal crying with them.
Height: 31'' (95% tile)
Weight: 22 lbs 10 oz (73% tile)
Head Circumference: 44.2 cm (23% tile)
She is a tall, healthy baby!
Tomorrow Krista (my sister in law) and the girls are coming up to spend the day with Reese while Kyle and I head to the Cardinals/Brewers game in Milwaukee with Kyle's parents. We were going to take Reese with, but now that she has pink eye she is going to stay back (Kyle is quite disappointed about this as it would be Reese's first Cardinals game). There is always next year!
