Happy Birthday Reah!

Reah Lynn born Dec 10 8lbs 11oz 21.5in. You were born with a full head of hair that stuck straight up in the air after you had your first bath. Your big brother loved you so much and wanted to keep kissing you in the hospital.


January - You are getting bigger and you eat very well.

February brought no change to your hair but you were smiling and you loved your bumbo seat. You were blessed in the beginning of Feb and we had my whole family here (except for one family who was having a baby the next day). The last day of Feb you were so sick that you were put into the hospital with RSV. You couldn't come home until you were off of oxygen.



March - you came home from the hospital the first week in March and got better quickly. You love smiling and we started cloth diapering this month.


April - you hate tummy time and usually cry during the entire time I have you on the floor. You still love to be worn in the new Moby Wrap I got. You sleep every time you get in there.

May - you got to eat cereal for the first time! You are rolling all over the place now so summy time is no problem anymore.

June - you love eating food and tried fruit and veggies. Your favorites are sweet potatoes and bananas.

July - you really wanted to taste the chocolate milk you got from the 4th of July parade. You also got to see animals at Yellowstone Park and visit with Grandma and Grandpa. You learned how to sit up by yourself about the same time you learned how to crawl.

August - you finally grew into your hair and it now lays down by itself. No more Rooster tail or daddy calling you Princess Spike. You learned how to crawl up the stairs too.

September - You love to dance and are still crawling all over the house. You are also cruising along the furniture.

October - We got to try out a new cloth diaper called a Pooligan you are totally rockin' it in your Pooligan and babylegs. You still love your binky and you are now starting to stand up and take a few steps.


November - I let you eat baby food by yourself and you made such a huge mess with it but you loved every minute. You took off on the walking as soon as you figured out how to get up into a standing position by yourself.

December 10th 1 year old today!!! You are walking all over the place now and get right back up after falling down. You are climbing on the slide and up on the fireplace. You are also trying to climb onto the couch and have almost got it down. "no no" is your favorite word and you shake your finger when you say it. You also love to say "hi Dada" when Daddy comes home from work and you also love to wave and say "hi". You also know how to say more and all done and want in sign language.
