Happy Birthday Reese!

Today is Reese's first birthday.  I can't believe it's here already, this year has passed faster than any year in my life so far!

Reese is taking lots of steps but isn't walking confidently yet.  We're okay with that though, she's getting in to everything as it is.  This week she's being staying asleep better and going back to sleep faster after I feed her during the night, some nights anyways!  Hopefully that continues to improve as one of the very few things I'm actually looking forward to about no more babies at our house is more sleep.  She still doesn't like to eat very much.  We did discover last night that she really likes spaghetti.  At least she did last night.



Kennedy, Parker, and Emerson still love her just as much as when she was born.  I thought the novelty of a new baby might wear off but it hasn't.  They are all so good with her.  Kennedy even changed a poopy diaper this week.  I was just joking when I asked her but she said ok and went and did it.  A few weeks ago Parker was playing with Reese on the floor and I hear him saying to her "Baby Reese I love to be with you".  Just yesterday Kennedy was telling me for the hundredth time how much she loves Reese and that she was just the perfect baby that she had been wanting.  Emerson loves to try to carry her around like the older two.  Unfortunately for Reese she usually ends up with her arms just around her neck nearly choking her or dropping her.  She wants to be such a big helper but she is just too little at the moment.
