Reese is O.N.E.

Dear Miss Reese,

I can't believe that you are already one years old!!!It seems like yesterday we were hanging out in the hospital watching the HG channel.  From the minute you were born I just wanted to be left alone with  you so that we could snuggle.  One night in the hospital in the middle of the night,  I had the nurses bring you out from the nursery just so I could see you.  

I don't know if it was because you are a girl, or because it took awhile to get you, or because I am 30 not 21... but with you I really enjoyed having an infant.  Right away I loved spending girl time with you.  I loved taking you running with me, to get our nails done and pretty much anywhere!!!  I am not the only one that is obsessed with you.... Your dad can seriously not get enough of you!!!  From about 7-11 months you wanted to be held all of the time.  Your dad could care less.  I came home one day to find him holding you in the shower, and you were just as happy as can be!  Dad would always say "Before long she won't ever want to be held!!!"  So he was happy to do it.

I have loved seeing you interact with your older brothers.  They are always all over you!!! Between me and you I would have to say that Bridger has been your favorite... he is just a little more gentle with you and less in your face :-)  You are always so excited to see them.  

You started crawling around 7 months and walking at about 11 months.  I thought that you would be less advanced with your motor skills than your brothers because I had heard that about girls....  but you have been right on track with them.  I have loved how vocal you are.  Jibber Jabbing all of the time.  Right now your 2 big words are HI and Ugh Oh.  You also love to yell and dance to music.  You are very social, always wanting to interact with little girls at church and anywhere that we go.

Right now I would have to say your favorite things are.... Baths, Grapes, Books, Balloons, Toilet Paper and the Tags on your blankets.  Probably your least favorite thing in the world is getting dressed or having your diaper changed.  

At 1 years old your stats are...

weight: 22.46 lbs (85%)

height: 29 inches (43.5%)

head: 17.5 inches (37%)

You are such a huge blessing to our family and I truly believe that you must be the most loved little girl on the planet!!!!
