Hello... Yes, it's been NINE fabulous months!!!! I have a REAL treasure on my hands!!!
When I look at Reesie just in everyday life, I feel like she looks exactly like Josiah, except with earrings and pink clothes... But I pulled up some old pictures tonight and discovered that they are definitely related but they are not the twins that I sometimes picture them to be...

This month has been full of awesome accomplishments and milestones, if you will... I know that I say this every month but little Reesie lights up my life!!!
She is sooooo loud! She is LOUDER than any of the other MSC! She's a screamer... not like a tantrum or in anger... she just talk in one volume and that volume is LOUD! I think she just wants us to know that she is here... Mission accomplished!!!
I love the stage when you can give them finger foods... In so many ways it makes my life so much easier... I can feed her maily what I give the rest of the family now, I just break it into some tiny pieces, and with her two little teeth she manages to get it down. I think she likes the idea of feeding herself better as well. The other day she ate almost an entire meatball all by herself!!!! We also drove to LA last week to pick up a tripple jogger that I have been saving for for months! I found a used one on craigslist and it turned out to be even better than I thought it was going to be... Anyways, I am telling you all of this because on the way home Reesie started to get fussy and I had one of those teething biscuits with me so I gave it to her and she was QUIET as a mouse the WHOLE way home!!! Praise God for new phases! There is seriously something awesome about every phase of our children growing up. I am so grateful that the Lord is helping me to see the major blessing in the little things! As a mom the little things feel so big! This time of my life with my MSC is above and beyond anything that I could have imagined!! I am in LOVE!
Anyways, back to Reesie... She's not a speed crawler yet but she can definitely get herself where ever she wants to go... She's at that phase where she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth... I have got to get better at keeping an eye out for all those tiny things in the carpet that nobody can see but somehow Reesie manages to find them and eat them on a daily basis... I won't go into detail but she has had some interesting stuff in her diaper lately... yuck!
She's growing up... She's getting more independent... She's a total sweet heart! And I completely cherish every second I have with my little treasure! I have no idea what the number of herr days might be but I know that God has already used this girl for his glory... to draw me closer to him and to see that there is joy in everyday if only we will ask the Lord to help us see it!
Tonight as I was putting her jammies on after her bath, this overwhelming feeling of gratefulness came over me and i found myself thanking the Lord for the way that the baby lotion smells so sweet on her skin, and for the soft warm jammies that I could put on over her chubby little legs... which reminded me of what a blessing it is that I am able to feed my little treasure good food... several times a day... everyday... And as silly as it might sound, I got a little teary-eyed in the bathroom tonight as I buttoned her last button and swooped her up in my arms, and heard her precious little giggle in my ear. I'm just grateful that she's here... that the Lord entrusted her to Joey and I... And it is my privilege to teach her all about HIM!
Ok, I think I've gone on and on long enough... until next month...
