Bienvenidos a Miami

Reese and I are in Miami this week enjoying the first annual Stimpson girls' trip!  We have been having a blast swimming, shopping, and enjoying the beautiful (and warm!) weather and Reese has been enjoying the constant attention from her aunts and MommaCat.

Quite the social butterfly, Reese has been walking around the pool deck smiling at people and making lots of new friends.  Everyone she sees has been going crazy for how cute she is in her darling bathing suits (can you blame them?!).  And Reese is turning out to be quite a little fish--she LOVES the pool and the ocean!  When you hold her in the pool, all she wants to do is squirm away from you, kicking her legs and putting her face in the water.  She also loves to jump in from the side of the pool, although we are still working on her waiting until the count of three when I am ready to catch her.  
My mom wrapped a hand towel around Reese and she thought it was the greatest new skirt.  As they walked around the pool deck, if the towel started to fall off, Reese would stop so that my Mom could wrap it tight again.
After a few tries, Reese got the hang of keeping her arms on top of her inner tube to stay afloat.  And she loves the ducks on top--she swims around saying "Cack, cack"--just like the ducks say.




Celebrating Tessa's birthday at Cheesecake Factory...the first of at least three birthday celebrations for the week.  That's how we roll with birthdays in my family--we try to celebrate for at least a week.

Reese's favorite snack after playing in the water was goldfish--how appropriate!
