Want a good work out? Try this.
Reese is always kicking her legs up like this, and she'll sit and do it for a long time. You should try it! I wanted to have it on video so we remember one of the funny little things she does.

Love
I made this for a friend and thought it turned out so cute. I'm thinking of making some for other holidays too, and I think I'll definitely do one that says "SPRING"!

My camera does this cool thing where you can choose a color and it will only show that color and everything else is black and white. I thought it would be fun to use it when Reese was wearing this cute green sweater.
It also lets me crop right on the camera, which I've been playing with a lot. So this is the same picture, just cropped. I can change the direction of pictures too.
Outside on a fairly warm day, but we only stayed out for a few minutes. I'm so excited for warm weather and being able to play outside and take walks.

Reese Pot Pie
For some reason, Reese pot pie is one of Reese's nicknames. Kind of funny. But I thought it was a fitting title for this post because I have all sorts of pictures of Reese that aren't really from a certain occasion, just here and there I've been taking a lot of pictures and I'm going to post lots of them all at once, just a warning that this will be really long. (I have a camera again, thank goodness, but I get a little carried away sometimes)
She likes to stand up in her crib or on the couch, but she doesn't pull herself up yet, we stand her up.
She jabbers constantly, mostly says dadadada, but all sorts of other made up words too. She waves, sometimes on command. She points at things a lot. She'll dance when she hears music -she bobs her head to the side and twists back and forth and puts her arms up. For some reason she likes when we sing her that Beyonce song that says "if you like it then you should've put a ring on it" For what reason we started singing her that dumb song, I don't know, but she likes dancing to it. She hates her hands being touched, always has. She will grab onto my hand when I'm feeding her, but it has to be her choice. She loves books and gets all excited and starts to breathe faster when we read to her. She likes to play peek a boo. When I tell her to give me kisses she will lean her face into mine and just breathe on me, it's so cute. (I could go on, but this is already really long, sorry, probably boring for everone else!) I just love that little girl! What a joy she has been in our lives, I feel so blessed to be her mom.

Reese clapping
Reese loves to clap these days! She likes to clap our hands too. I tried to get her to clap a couple times but she would only clap my hand, then one day she just started clapping! A few days later I was watching Oprah and she was doing her show in a big auditorium because it was the day before the inauguration. Reese saw all of the people clapping on TV and she clapped when they did-it was cute. It's so fun to watch her learn to do new things. Now if only she would learn to crawl...(No she still isn't crawling and she's almost 10 months old!) I took this video last week.

Blocks
I've been making these blocks for the past few months now. My sister-in-law and I made them for a party and then other people kept buying them from me, and I made some for Christmas presents. I've made some that said Noel, Love, Home, etc. as well. I just wanted to post this picture because I thought the paper on this one was so cute! Now if I could only get some made for myself!

Snowmobile party!
We had the annual Hudgens family Christmas party in Heber this year. It was an eat soup/snowmobile/sled/eat some more/bingo party. These pictures were from my cousin's camera (which I wish was mine because it's nice :)
This is my cousin's daughter Ava. She is more than a year old and Reese is about as tall as she is! And Reese definitely weighs more.
Reese with Aunt Krista.
Ava's sister Ashlyn.
This is my mom. Isn't she beautiful?
After everyone got there and we all ate soup, it was off to the sled hill and snowmobile trail. We tied sleds to the back of the snowmobiles and pulled them down the trail.
