David and I didn't do anything too wild for New Year's Eve. We went over to Mikel and Serena's house to play games and just hang out. We played 'Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader', which was fun, and a few others. We toasted with our drinks at midnight and didn't make it home until 4am.
I got to hold baby Aiden for over an hour, which was so sweet. I'll start babysitting him along with Avery at the end of January. I think it'll be neat to have a teeny tiny baby around again. Maybe it'll cure the baby "I wants" I have had going on... If not, I'll be going off all meds by October of this year! We'll probably start trying for number three around December or January. (I have to detox at least three months from all of the migraine meds and headache preventatives that I take.) Who knows? Maybe there'll be a new baby to cuddle next year...

My baby girl is a whole year old!
Thursday, June 21, 2007
You know, it's just amazing how quickly they grow. I simply cannot believe that it has been a full year, 365 days ago to the minute, that Reese was born. WOW! It seems just like yesterday she was just a little baby blob that didn't do anything except eat, poop and cry.
.
Now she's such a big girl! She can crawl, walk, smile, play pat-a-cake and scream amazing baby cuss words at you when she's mad. She can eat by herself, and won't allow anyone to feed her. She's a BIG GIRL now!
I am just grateful that, when she's tired, she will let me hold her and cuddle her. She still gives her kisses freely and giggles when you tickle her under her chin. She still has little dimples on the backs of her hands instead of big kid knuckles, and her skin is still just baby soft.
She no longer calls me Mama. Everybody (except Nana) is Dada. For some reason she calls Nana by her name. The only time I hear "mama" is when she's not ready to go to bed and is standing in the crib wailing "maaaa-maaaa!" What a guilt trip!
I am just so grateful that she is happy and healthy. She loves her big sister and she hates to be restrained. She is talkative, even though you can't understand a word she's saying. She has the cutest dimples in her cheeks, both the ones on her face and the ones on her bottom! She loves the water, and tries to get in our little wading pool everytime we're out in the yard. She is a voracious eater, and hasn't found much of anything that she won't eat. She is one of the biggest treasures in my life. She is my baby girl. She is Alyssa Reese.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY! I LOVE YOU!
