Happy 1st Birthday to our sweet baby Reese!! We love you so, so much - beyond words.
It amazes us how well Blake and Emerson accepted you into their lives and have loved you to pieces since the first minute they met you!! They adore you and love playing with you and taking care of you. They are always watching out for you and are certainly a lot of help most days!! You seem to be mesmerized by them a lot of the time and enjoy watching their crazy games and jumping around and love to crawl as fast as you can after them as they run laps around the coffee table :) We know you will all have your arguments now and then but we hope you can continue to grow up best of friends!
Reese, you have such a loving nature!! We adore your hugs and kisses (even when they are mouth wide open, tongue sticking out!) and of course I feel like a million bucks when you reach for me, I pick you up and you nuzzle into me ... I love those moments so much! Even better is when Blake and Emerson see you giving me a hug and rush over to join you :) I love how excited you get when you see your Dad and hearing you say, "Da! Da!!" melts my hear! As with your sister and brother on the eve of their 1st birthday, last night when I put you to bed, I shed a few tears. Both happy and a little bit sad.
Your first year has gone by remarkably fast, fastest year of our lives thus far! But it has also been an amazing journey, we have all grown and learned so much from each other and we can't wait to experience your second year with you :)
All our love,
Mom, Dad, Blake and Emerson

3 days ...
Until Reese's 1st birthday!!
Today she had her 1 year pediatrician appointment. She is healthy, happy and adorable ;) Reese now weighs 23 lbs (75th %tile), is 28 1/2" long (30th %tile) and her head circumference is in the 50 %tile!
She was very happy for Dr. Radisic until the last 5 minutes! We brought up a couple of concerns, her disinterest in milk and waking up at night. She eats yogurt and cheese and enjoys it, but doesn't care for milk (yet). So we will keep trying it and hopefully she'll start enjoying it more! We've cut back on the kid's milk consumption quite a bit after talking to the naturopath (who is totally against cow's milk consumption!!) and realizing that according to the Canada Food Guide they really only need a small amount of milk and milk products in their day and they eat a lot of yogurt! So I'm not too worried about Reese's milk consumption, but definitely would like her to enjoy a cup of milk now and then. As for the night waking that has begun, as suspected I think it is a separation anxiety thing :S Hopefully she'll get back to no night time wakings sooner then later!! We're home for awhile now, with no over night trips planned, which will help!
We had Emerson's ears checked to make sure the amoxicillin worked and her ear infection is gone, which it is. The nurse also weighed her and she weighs 30 lbs now!! I guess all that intake is going somewhere ;)
We're looking forward to spending the day together on Saturday and celebrating Reese's 1sth birthday with friends and family on Sunday!!
Talk again soon,
Tracy
