Happy Birthday Daddy, I Can Crawl!!!

One more little video of that mobile baby!!

We Now Have A Crawler!!!!

Yikes!! There's no stopping her now! I was hoping she'd hold off crawling for two more weeks so daddy could see her, but the blog will have to suffice for now!

Sisterly Love!

These girls are so sweet to each other. I am one lucky mama!!

I love how it kind of looks like Thad hugging Anna.:-) Melts my heart.

What A Difference Six Months Makes!

So blessed to have two happy girls.  They miss daddy, but are making the most of it.  I couldn't ask for sweeter people to consume my world. They are amazing!!

Abby's End of Year Dance Recital

She was so confident and at ease for her first big performance. She was by far the best, no motherly bias here, and so proud of her costume.  I was proud that I managed to figure out a sock bun. :-)

First picture we have of the three of us, I think!

That's My Girl!!

Came across this little gem when I was downloading the video for Abby's dance recital!  She's so funny.  Takes me back to some rug cutting we did of our own!  This was taken last summer around her 4th birthday.

Growing Up So Fast

Abby now has Pre-K in her rearview mirror!!  Although she was light years ahead of most in her class, I'm so proud of her for finishing a fun-filled year of school.  She is super excited about starting Kindergarten in our local school in the fall, but will miss the friends she made in New Braunfels. 

Our little sweetness leaving the house for the first day of pre-K and our big girl graduate!

Growing Like A Weed

Here's some updated pictures of little Caitlin.  She is so big already.  Abby is a terrific big sister and teaches her something new everyday!

She's all smiles these days!

Serious Caitlin...

Super happy Caitlin!

The girls by our brick at the Luckenbach Dance Hall.  Hard to read, but it says, "ANNA & THAD GOT HITCHED 5-26-07".  Our family pitched in to buy it after our wedding!

Here's Abby at her very first performance...ballet and tap recital at the New Braunfels Kid's Fest on the Guadalupe River.

Introducing Caitlin June Reddick

Yipee!!! She's finally here!! I forgot how hard these first few weeks are!!  Mostly the sleep deprevation with 'round the clock feedings.  She's doing great and is adjusting nicely to life as a Reddick!

First picture with daddy!  Wide eyed little girl!

 



 First picture with mama!  I look so tired!
 

 

First family photo!!  Everyone knows to NOT wake a sleeping baby...even for a first family photo!

 

 

Big sis, lil' sis!  Abby's so proud of her new sister! 

 

 

 

Sweet baby girl sleeping away!

Time For Some Soccer!

We are so happy with how much Abby likes soccer!  She loves to dribble, pass, and shoot, but gets a little timid with the chaos when the crowd of 4 year olds collides around the ball.  We're hoping she sticks with it long enough to progress to an age group where there is more structure, i.e. positions, passing, tactics.  We're not there yet...just concentrating on making it fun!

She chose my number from my A&M days...11!!!!

 

Gig 'em!  Yes, I managed to cram my big baby belly in a 20 year old jersey.  And, yes, I still have a 20 yr old jersey.

 

In full uniform, ready for her first game!

 

Showing off her new cleats!  I had no idea pink took over soccer too.

Abby's team, The Sharks, "gettin' their minds right" for the big game!

...and they're off!

Super Star!

Abby graduated to the next level of swim lessons last week!  They make a big deal about tackling all the skills and moving up (make an announcement, ring the bell, award a medal)!  She was so excited and is doing great in the pool.

Abby Turns 4!!!

Feels like a lifetime since our last post.  It's been a whirlwind of packing up all our crap, birthday parties, and getting settled into our new hill country home.  I promise more frequent photos (especially since I'll be unemployed soon!!!!)  Enjoy these for now:

Abby chillin' before the big 4th of July parade in New Braunfels

A rare family photo after the parade

Then home to open presents!

Check out my new swimsuit from Aunt Jane!

Waiting for her friends to arrive at her birthday party at Pump It Up...birthday warehouse full of bouncy castles.  Perfect for a 100 degree day in South TX!

Having fun bouncing away!

Abby and Kennedy on top of the bouncy hill

A shot of the whole group...so many boys.  Abby is the only girl in her class this summer.  We're hoping it will toughen her up a bit.  Can't hurt.

 "Look at me...I'm 4!"

Saying goodbye to our next door neighbors.  Will she ever forgive us for all this moving?
