The Reese Family

I have no picture today, but had I taken one, it would have been of Addalie and I reading "Goodnight Moon," "Farm Babies," or Veggie Tales "My Day." We only read about every moment Addalie is awake. At least that's how it seems. That girl would be perfectly content if she could just sit in my lap and be read to all day long! I do love that she loves to read, but I'm about to go crazy reading the same book 10 consecutive times! (not an exaggeration)

I have been trying to finish filling in Addalie's baby book and there is a section where you fill in unique things about your baby. I've been thinking alot about how blessed I am by Addalie in light of Mother's Day and what not, I just almost cry with joy everyday! Here are some things I've come up with about my sweet Addalie:

1. She is the friendliest child! She says hi to everyone she sees in the grocery store or as we are taking walks. She even waves to all the cars passing by!

2. She is obsessed with eyes. She is constantly poking me in the eye and saying "eyes!" She gets very excited about eyes. Can't hardly get her to acknowledge her nose though.

3. She can be so tired and so fussy that I think she is about to have a melt down, and all I have to do is get her around people and she comes to life. She is already such a social butterfly and seems to thrive on social situations.

4. She needs affirmation throughout the day. She plays pretty well by herself when I need her to, but throughout the day she comes to me just for a hug. She just needs to be held for a minute and then she's good to go! She loves giving hugs and kisses and does it with such excitement!

5. She is truly a girly girl in that she loves shoes! She is constantly getting into her shoes and bringing them to me to put on her. Today she brought me a different one for each foot and wore them around all day! She also loves headbands (adult ones), getting into my long necklaces, and playing with my makeup. What is this going to look like in the days ahead?

Those are just a few of the oh-so-adorable characteristics of our little girl. Can you tell she is my world? I mean, I really have nothing else to do but obsess over her and I'm really ok with that. I'm sure you all will get tired of it though!
