Reese is 1!

Reese is 1! It seems like only yesterday that she was born. She is such a happy little girl-always smiling & flirting with everyone! She is quite a ham too-she loves to show-off & make people laugh. She is sort of walking-any day now I sure she will just start running all over the place. She is getting 4 molars right now which will make 12 teeth all together! Crazy! She has gotten more teeth, & faster, than any of our other kids. She is in that lovely 'dump everything out' stage. She loves to empty drawers, shelves, baskets, cupboards-whatever she can get into! But how can you get mad at such a cute little toot?! She is such a Daddy's girl & I love it! She is the first of our babies to prefer Danny & it has been a nice break. If he is around then she pretty much wants nothing to do with me. Whenever he leaves I have to pry her off of him & then she just cries & cries. So cute! Reese is such a cuddle bug-she gives the best loves. She likes to snuggle right in under your chin & just lays there. Sometimes she will pat my back when I am patting hers-such a funny girl!To celebrate her big day we had all our family over for a BBQ then cake & ice cream. I got a little daring & made a cake that looked like a birthday candle. It turned out pretty good. Danny actually did most of it except for the detailed decorating part. We love the show 'Cake Boss' on TLC & it has inspired Danny to be more hands on with the baking. We did a white cake with raspberry filling & cream cheese frosting-so delish! We just love our little Reesie Roo! Happy Birthday!

Okay I think she is an Addelyn look a like for sure. Time flies. I Love love love the cake!

I tried 5 babysitters the other day, (we) and mostly (me) really wanted to go! So make sure to invite us next time. I guess we just need time to find a babysitter!
