He's not so little anymore...
In fact, on the 22nd of this month, he turned ONE.....
I remember picking his name. It's Welsh, a boy's name, meaning zealous, enthusiastic, passionate. Matthew (his middle name) meaning gift from God. And that's just what we got. He is all of those things and more. And determined, if he wants something-he will get it. We have been setting up the barricades around the house since he has been crawling. When we did that with Abram, he was okay with it, and just abided by it. Not this little monkey. Whether crawling over, under, or pushing through (using his head) he will find a way. Reese is smart as a whip, and has a smile that melts the grumpiest of people. He has a contagious high pitched laugh that will send you rolling. He still in enamored with his big brother and they have recently started to play together, which is awesome. He has started in the past month making kissing sounds and saying "Mama" though I don't think he knows what it means, I'll take it anyway. He isn't walking yet, but he crawls/cruises at the speed of light-especially when he knows you are after him, giggling all the while. I can't express addequately the joy that he brings to our family. I remembered being so worried when I was pregnant that I would lose him. I was spotting and had had 2 previous miscarraiges-I was almost 11 weeks, so I went to get an ultrasound. I can't tell you how nervous and upset I was, and how I kept praying that everything would be okay. I had told the ultrasound tech of my history and concerns. During the ultrasound, Reese turned and looked directly at the "camera"....
and I swear to you I am not lying when I am telling you he waved. I looked at the tech and she said, "Oh my gosh, your baby is waving to us. It's like he is saying, 'Don't worry Mama, I'm okay!'". I cried and cried. Knowing him now, that is so him. I am so grateful for my over zealous little boy. Happy Birthday Reese!
P.S. Cake face pictures coming soon!
