Serving

 My oh my time is just flying by so fast. I can't believe Reese will be 6 months in a couple weeks. AAAHHHH, half way to a year! It makes me sad to think she won't be a baby to much longer. She amazes me more and more each day. She is babbling all the time now, sometimes it sounds like she says dada, mama, and sometimes i love you, or maybe I'm just hearing things :)  A couple weeks ago I moved the coffee table off to the side so she would have more room to play and she rolls EVERYWHERE! I can't leave her alone for two minutes with having to get her from underneath the couch. She has even managed to roll out of her play mat. She is also starting to sit up all by herself very well. Yesterday she ate almost a whole bottle holding it all by herself, the only time I had to help her was at the very end and has since been holding it on her own. I volunteer at the veterans home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays is bingo and I take Reese with me to help out. The old men absolutely love her. She was even given three dollars this past Tuesday, one dollar from one man and two from another. We're not supposed to take anything from the residents but they said since it was for Reese it was ok. I was even told today when I was there that the man who gave her two dollars hardly ever comes out of his room to do anything and had no kids of his own but he wanted to come see the baby. He was so sweet and just loved her. When handed me the money for her he said "think that will be enough to buy her a pop?" I had to inform him she was way to young. It is such a blessing and so rewarding to serve those who served for our country.
