1 year

The day has come...my baby girl is 1! How can time go so fast? In NO WAY does it seem like she should be 1 yet. :( I always like to go back and read about my babies on their last birthday, so today I went back and read Reese's birth story. So glad that I have documented it so I can remember all the details. I totally forgot that Chad got so sick the night Reese was born...that'll teach him for eating all the food in front of me when I was STARVING. :)

When we got Reese up this morning the girls and I sang Happy Birthday to her and she got this huge smile on her face and bopped up and down. Like she knew exactly that today was her day. Tonight we had cupcakes to celebrate her birthday as a family. Lucky girl has been celebrating all week. She has her 1 year checkup next week. I'm excited to see how big she is getting.

At 1 year Reese is:

  • a SUPER fast crawler
  • loves to climb - especially stairs
  • has taken a few steps on her own, not long before she's walking
  • has 3 teeth - with several more just at the surface ready to break through
  • a GREAT sleeper - almost 12 hours at night and 2 naps during the day
  • LOVES her sisters - squeals when they talk to her
  • likes Queenie almost as much as her sisters
  • is starting to give kisses when asked
  • waves hello and goodbye and will occasionally say "hi"
  • says "mama" and "dada"
  • likes to be outside - will stand at the door and whine until we take her out
  • doesn't like to touch grass
  • favorite food is meat sticks (yuck!)
Looking forward to getting away this weekend together as a family. We are taking our first camping trip of the season. Hopefully the clouds have run out of rain... :)

Did mom tell you that she is the only baby, besides Trenton, who loves meat sticks??? That is too funny! She shoves those in her mouth, a full one at a time! And to this day, Trenton still will eat those little vienna sausages! I think they are gross too!! LOL Trenton thinks it's awesome! haha
How the time flies!! Happy birthday to Reese!
