Reese Ann has hit the one year mark! Her birthday was Saturday, and the day was perfect! We celebrated with family at home over lunch- complete with cake, presents, and lots of love and attention! We ended the day at the river watching Auburn win their first game of the 2010 season while enjoying the beautiful weather! Here are a few pictures from the day...
It was so much fun for this mom to decorate with lots of pink for the party!
Cupcake tower with fun flags for the birthday girl!
Having a great time opening presents- the baby doll with a magnetic pacifier is one of her favorites!
Our sweet little girl- we had to get the picture in the hat quickly- it didn't last long!
Big brother feeding Reese Ann when she didn't love the icing on her hands! She took a turn feeding him, too! He was so sweet to the birthday girl and much more excited about all of her presents (including helping Dan put them together) than she was!
Reese Ann weighs in at 19 lbs and 6 oz. We had an unexpected pediatrician visit the day before her birthday due to a nasty cold & fever virus that she has been fighting off for a while. Thankfully, she woke up fever-free the morning of her birthday! She will cruise around holding just one finger, so walking is not too far away! She has such a fun little personality these days! She has gotten two teeth on the top and now has four on the bottom. She has started testing her mom with little things- like leaving a bow in her hair! I have tried to explain to her that momma always wins, but she hasn't quite gotten it yet! She will climb up anything but the stairs are her favorite. She has gone on a baby food strike, so I am having to get creative with table food options suitable for a 1 year old. She doesn't know it yet- but the bottle will be leaving the Sikes house by the end of the week!
Reese Ann- you sure have come a long way in this last year! Time has flown by, and we can't believe that you are one! Your mom, dad, and brother love you so much and could not imagine life without you in it! We are so thankful for the many blessings the Lord has sent our way through you and to you this year! We can't wait to see what the next year of life holds for you, sweet girl!
