First Time

Yesterday was an AWESOME day!! Reese was able to grab a hold of her rattle and play with it for the first time and she laughed for the first time. Almost brought tears to my eyes. I was so excited to hear her sweet little laugh. She loves it when I swing her back and forth in my arms, that's the only thing that makes her really laugh right now. I was so proud too see her grab her rattle, she needs a little help still, but once she has a hold she will rattle it! I absolutely LOVE being a mommy, it brings me such joy. I was thinking the other day I don't think we can even begin to realize how much God loves us until we have children of our own. I know how much I love Reese but God loves her and us more than anyone ever will. When I read the book The Shack there was a line in there that has stuck with me.....God loves each person as if they were the only one. I take great comfort in that. I Thank God for choosing us to be Reese's parents but ultimately they are not our children they are God's children.

This is the best I could get of her smiling, everytime I try to capture her  smiling she stops.

  2. Ahhhh my little darlin' Reese I am so proud of each & every one of your accomplishments :) You are one blessed little girl to have such a good mom & dad. I think God is very proud of the job they are doing to raise you to love the Lord, I know I am.
    I love being a mom, too ~ it truly makes you appreciate each little thing your child does & oh how we celebrate! Even when they are in their 20's. And I love being a Pippo! Oh what joy my granddaughters bring :)
    I love you my little blue eyed beauty.
