When I think about Reese and look back at the last 2 years and really almost 3 years, the one word that inevitably comes to mind about her, is SURPRISE!
I think almost anyone who reads this blog, knows that learning we were having Reese was an unexpected, yet truly amazing surprise we received in Feb of 2007. You see, we had just had a baby...who was barely out of the newborn stage.
Pictured below is the lovely Ava, just barely 4 months when we discovered our next bundle of joy was coming!
We spent the next 8 1/2 months planning for the addition of another baby. Reese's due date was Oct. 16, just 2 days before Ava's 1 yr bday. It was around midnight, the morning of Oct. 4, when I decided my sister better come over and stay with Ava, b/c SURPRISE Reese was making her appearance 2 weeks early. We welcomed her to our family at 11:59 am on Oct. 4, 2007.
Here's a picture of Reese on her 1st bday last year. Ava started walking right around her 1 yr. bday, so I just assumed Reese would do the same. Surprise, this girl was not walking until 15 months!
Here she is today celebrating her abbreviated bday. The real deal bday party is next weekend.
Everyday, Reese continually surprises us with all of the things she says and does, and of course the many faces she makes!
Reese you truly are a one of a kind! We love you so much! Happy birthday sweet baby girl!
