Happy 6 months Birthday, Reese!

Another bittersweet milestone - my precious little baby is already 6 months old today. I look at both her and Mia in awe - amazed that Ryan and I made such perfect little human beings. Reese, at 6 months, is a lot different from how Mia was at 6 months. Mia enjoyed car rides, Reese can tolerate about an hour of riding. Mia was not very content for long periods of time in her bouncy seat or exersaucer, Reese is. Mia was a very long and lean baby, Reese is....full of curves. At the same time, they are alike in many ways at 6 months...no teeth at 6 months, out-of-control curly hair - even though Reese's is slightly more curly, not good sleepers, but both loving and beautiful!
Right now Reese's favorite thing to do is the Jump-a-roo! She jumps and bounces and is so proud of herself. She smiles so big like she is really doing something! When I pick her up from nursery, she just kicks her legs and smiles! When I pick her up, she buries her head in my chest and clinches onto me like she is giving me a big hug! Ahhh....that's the best stuff!!! She babbles a lot! I love to hear her little noises. She is eating one cup of food at daycare and another in the evening. She LOVES to eat and has the curves to show for it! She still LOVES her baths. We run about an inch of water in our bathtub and lay her down in it. She just smiles and kicks and moves her arms! She is such a happy baby. How very lucky I am....
She goes for her 6 month check-up Monday. I'll update then...
