Reese is 10 months!! (1 month ago, whoops)

Seriously, I cannot even believe I am writing about Reese being 10 months. I am not sure I am ready for my sweet baby to be 1 year old yet. But ready or not... Oh, I just love seeing Reese's personality come out more and more. She is growing and changing so much each day/week/month. Reese is such a sweet girl. She loves her mommy, daddy and big sister Riley so much! (and has become way more interested in Scout lately. Lucky for him ;) Her laugh is contagious and making Reese laugh has become on of Riley's favorite things to do. Reese is quite active and fast but will still slow down long enough occasionally for a snuggle. She is also becoming more independent and enjoys playing alone for a minute or so at a time. She is almost always happy but when she is not it gets ugly. She may not be much of a talker but she will let you know if she is not happy. Luckily, Reese can go from unhappy right back to laughing in a matter of seconds. Usually when she is back in mommy's arms. Here are some other things she is up to: -Reese has started pulling herself to a stand but isn't interested in putting weight on her legs for long. -She still takes 2 naps (1-2.5 hours each) and goes to bed about 7:15. (She is waking only once now at night!! Hooray!!) -She will drink water from a sippy cup and even Riley's straw cups and loves to try to drink from our cups or water bottles. -Reese still dispises being left in the church nursery or really anywhere that mommy isn't. -She is babbling more but her only true word is mama. She really isn't too much of a talker. I think Riley does it all for her. ;) -She knows several songs but likes Twinkle, Twinkle best and moves her little fingers in and out to our singing. -Eats a TON of food. All finger food. Anything we are eating she will eat. Fruit is hands down her favorite and she devours that before moving on to the rest of her food. It is really crazy to watch her eat, she often out eats Riley and I feel like some nights she might even be out eating me. The sheer volume of food that does into (and comes out) is amazing. -On that note, she still wears a size 4 diaper ;) and is in mostly size 9 month clothing. Reese, we love you so much!!! Your sweet personality and precious face brightens our day. Clay and I love watching you grow and interact with your sister. Riley is head over heels in love with you almost all of the time, just not when you pull her bow out of her hair. You bring so much joy to our family and we thank God for you everyday! Love you sweet Reesey-ree. The girls were tough to photograph this month! Too busy to sit still even for just a second. :( Done with pics.
