Teeth!!


Reese's two teeth! Only took us three weeks to post about it...obviously Reese is not a fan!




The Lost Month...11 Months Old!

Dear Reese,
Mommy almost let you turn one year old without talking about you being 11 months old! It was a big month for you. Very shortly after you turned 10 months old, you got your first tooth! About 1.5-2 weeks later you got your second tooth. I wouldn't say you are the worst teether, but you were not a happy baby! You also had a virus around your mouth (Hand, Foot, and Mouth) around the same time. You were kinda puny all round. However, you never had a fever...just a runny nose.

When you got your teeth, something clicked in you and you finally started feeding yourself! I put out some puffs and you just shoveled them in. We are still working on the sippy cup, though. You're not quite there. You are still a really great eater. You like the Stage 2 meats now, which is a surprise. We usually give you puffs to feed yourself while we fix your food and then you eat about a container and a half of food. You love cold fruit as your dessert, too! You are still getting four bottles of formula a day and you usually take between 5 and 6 ozs during the day and 7 and 8 ozs at bedtime.

Reese, you are so busy! I have never seen a baby that is as busy as you are. If you are awake you are moving. Most days we have to make you be still in order to calm down enough to realize you are sleepy. You would probably stay up and play until 10pm is we'd let you! You love getting into to everything. And you like to climb. You are so funny how you like to climb up on whatever you can put your knee up on. Mommy and Daddy are gonna be in trouble when you start walking. You are figuring out so many new things everyday. You love sliding the lid off your box of blocks and dumping them out. Then you like for Mommy and Daddy to stack them up really high so you can knock them over. You are getting more patient about waiting till we're done stacking, too. You have a ring stacker that has a button on the top that makes it light up and play music. You love taking all the rings off and reaching out and pushing the button and dancing. You have really gotten into dancing! It's really cute. You are a cruising machine, Reese! It won't be long till you're running around here.

You are such a joy to watch grow and learn. We love you very much!
love,
Mommy and Daddy
