My little Reese isn't so little anymore. She's not only a big sister but she's now officially in her terrible twos. This little girl is something else. She is just like her daddy. She loves being goofy and making people laugh. Yet, she sort of has this funny little shy side to her as well. She is a wonderful big sister to Jade and always asks if Jade is awake or asleep right when she wakes up in the morning.
For her birthday we had some of her little friends come over for a water party. We have a little slip n slide and we borrowed Heidi's water table. Some neighbor kids came (Lily, Lucas, Briana, Adriana, Julio) and some med school friends (Harley, Enzo, Elliot) as well as some ward friends (Ruby, Henry, Olivia). And of course her bestie Clark!
The kids took a little time warming up to playing in the water but they all seemed to have a blast. I was somewhat lazy and just went with a donut cake. I figure at this age she wouldn't appreciate the effort I would put into a cake, so walmart donuts it was!
It amazes me how fast Reese is learning right now. She learns new words every day and is constantly talking my ear off. She is very motherly and loves taking care of her baby doll, stuffed animals, and Jade.
Reese is obsessed with shoes. She is always wants to try on my shoes, Jared's shoes, Clark's shoes etc. She particularly loves her shiny shoes (thrift store buy!!) and her church shoes. She gets really frustrated that Jade's shoes don't fit her.
Reese is constantly asking for snacks, treats, cookies, crackers, donuts and the list goes on. Her biggest melt downs have been when I don't have something to feed her. Let's hope she doesn't end up being 400 pounds.
I'm sure every parent would say this about their child, but it's hard to truly describe how much we love this little girl. It's so fun having her as our first child and experiencing everything new with her. Happy Birthday Reese! We love you!
