A Day in the Life of Reese

Reese is doing new things each and every day. Here is an idea of the day in the life of Reese...
-She greets the cats each and every morning by waving at them as soon as we open her bedroom door. She then giggles and watches the cats run up and down the hallway in excitement to see her as well.
-She LOVES waving at each and every person we see while walking into daycare (which is appx. 20-30 parents/co workers). They all know her name now and look forward to her waves every morning.
-She pretends to be the ring leader of her class. She is the oldest of the 6, and you can tell that she knows it. I am happy she is an assertive little girl, but look forward to when she is a toddler and there are older children in her class to "put her in her place" at times :)
-She gets so excited to see the animals at daycare. They have a barn with horses, llamas, sheep, alpaca, and bunnies. She likes watching them eat and we even got to see a sheep get sheared last week!
-She is fascinated with opening and closing things, especially doors. We say "open", "closed" about 50 times a day now!
-She is definitely a meat eater. She can eat more ham, turkey, or chicken than Kyle and I combined! She does like veggies, but is funny about fruit. I think it may be the texture she still needs to get used to.
-She has her two top teeth in now. That makes a total of 4.
-Within this past week, she lets go while standing up for quite a bit of time. She gets so happy and proud of herself when she does it. She starts laughing, which throws off her balance and she falls down. Kyle predicts a walker by her first birthday (July 24th). I'm not going that far, but think it will be by late August for sure.

Kyle has been in China all week for work, so Reese and I have been holding down the fort. Little "BIG" girl thought a few days this week that she did not need an afternoon nap, which resulted in a 6:15 pm bedtime both of those nights. I am happy to report she got back on track and took one today. It made for a happier Reese and a happier mommy tonight :)

Not much on tap for this upcoming Father's Day weekend. I'm sure Kyle will be busy recovering from jet lag on Saturday, and Reese and I have a special surprise planned for him on Sunday. Hopefully he does not sleep right through it :)
