Quirky facts

Rachel here. Some exciting things have happened here the last couple of days. The talking continues to expand. Reesie went from just babbling, then to her "babas", day before yesterday she started with the "mamas" (usually when she's hungry), which were quickly followed by the "dadas." Her little voice is so super cute I could die! Reesie also demands to feed herself her bottle. When either Bryan or I try, she wiggles uncontrollably and would rather try her newest escape tactic than take the bottle from either of us. If we put her on the floor and give her her bottle... it's in her mouth until she's tired of. She then rolls around for a while and comes back to it when she's ready.

Sitting up on her own I think is going to be the next big one. When she's trying to crawl, she gets those toes dug into the carpet, lifts up that butt, then wiggles her little legs like crazy. One leg will get wedged under, and then the other... she just has to get that momentum and she'll be sitting up on her own! Crawling it looks like isn't too far behind either.

It seems like just yesterday she slept all day, laid there in her bassinet, and had those alligator arms... not able to reach for anything. Now... we have a real little person! She surprises us everyday and melts our hearts. :)
