Dear Reese,
So much has changed in the last year and I've watched in awe as you have grown from my little baby to a full fledged little girl. It is equal parts thrilling and heart breaking. I suppose I will be saying this for the rest of my life, but I have no idea where the last year has gone. It feels like I just put you bed on the eve of your first birthday, and here we are celebrating your second birthday! Just three months after you turned one we found out you would become a big sister to not one but TWO babies. The next eight months were spent doting on you and spending as much one on one time with you as possible. You were such a trooper through my pregnancy and took it easy on me as much as I could expect.
We spent this year playing at the children's museum, hitting up story time at the library, going to our favorite parks, and just enjoying each other. It has been a fantastic year!
The weekend before your birthday your dad and I took you to the zoo for a special birthday trip. You thoroughly enjoyed yourself and particularly loved the giraffes, elephants, and of course, monkeys.
On the day of your birthday you woke up extra early and were greeted with streamers hanging from your bedroom door. I wish I had a picture of this but sometimes you just have to live in the moment. Your brothers had just had a feeding and were snoozing so we were able to focus 100% on you. We came downstairs and opened presents and you dug into your birthday donuts.
You were somewhat lukewarm when it came to presents but you loved the balloons! We spent the day together and your nana came over to play with us and help get ready for your party. We had a fun pizza party and opened present and you simply had a blast!
Love,
Mama
