Reese: 2 Going on 12

Reese is such a delight to have in our family. She is so full of personality and spunk and is such a lively, dramatic and exciting child. She is also a mystery in the way that you just don't always know what you are going to get with her :). This first picture above says so much about who she is.

Reese came out of me with very strong, healthy lungs and a loud scream...and it's still the same. She can go from 0 to 60 in a couple seconds, but can just as easily turn it off as well :). She knows what she wants and she will work to get it. She loves to use her lungs!

Reese is such a smart child and loves learning and growing. She speaks in complete sentences, knows her ABC's, numbers and colors and desires to be as old as Emma and know as much as Emma. She is constantly asking questions about everything around her and wants to know all about the world. Reese is also VERY VERY independant and one of her favorite things to say is, "No, I do it myself!" She wants so badly to be older than she is and demands that she learn how to do things on her own. A good example would be when she is trying to put on her shoes by herself. She will scream and cry and get frustrated while trying to do it, but as soon as she gets them on, she immediately stops and says in a happy voice, "I did it!!!"

One of her favorite things to do is read books. She loves having Daddy and I read to her, but my favorite is when she just sits on the floor with books surrounding her and reads to herself. She will turn each page and talk and talk about each page she sees. It is so fun to hear her babble and try to figure out what she is saying. She will go through about 25 books before getting bored with it.

Reese is very good at entertaining herself. She is not like her older sister who at the age of two would follow me around from room to room and want me to be by her side for everything. She does like to be around other people some of the time, however, she plays and does her own thing a lot of the time as well.

She is such a fun girl and we are so grateful to have her in our family. She makes life fun and full of entertaining moments! We love her so much and can't imagine our family without her!
