Our first week

Reese did great at home!  She slept 5 hours consistently every other night :-)  She rarely cried except when really really hungry.

Her first well check appointment went great on the 6th

- She was not jaundice

- She has a small nose which makes her sound stuffy (even though she isn't sick or stuffy,just the cute little nose)

- She was already 7 lb 9 oz 

- In the first 15 hours at home she was already up to 4oz bottles, she loves her food!!

*Jada and Reese have the same teddy bear and blanket 

Libby begged and begged to hold Reese.  She realized that the baby isn't as light as her dolls and this was the best way to hold her.  But for me as a Mother the best is the look of love I can see in Libby's eyes for her new baby sister.  

Wearing her cute outfit from Nick our birth father and His mom Moneka Birth Grandma.  Look at the cute monkey on her bum, and toes!

Her first bath at home (she peed all over herself) 

                        

Just looking around at all there is to see!

Sleep Smiling!! Love it

Ready for bed

Dressed for the day!! 

  
Libby and Marshall and Reese!  All cuddled up on the couch!  My favorite people in the world all together!

Bright eyed and bushy tailed!!

Eating her bottle

 Relaxing after eating, hoping to get her to burp and then to sleep!  

I love her face after she eats, she is so relaxed and has that milk hangover look!

                      

 She is so precious!! Reese is relaxed 98% of the time!!

We got the sore bum and the red chin all fixed and cleared up within a couple of days!

So we had to explain to Libby that babies sleep most of the time and then they wake up to eat and cry!

Reese loves to sleep.  We wrap her upper body up and she snuggles down in her blanket so her face is touching blankets. 

 

Meeting my dad for the first time!  He had tears of joy! 

Libby may be wearing the same PJ's (every night) but she loves to just sooth Reese by rubbing her cheek.

We went to my moms for February's birthday dinner.

We celebrated Angela, Lindsay, Marshall's b-days and next year we will add Reese.

Everyone was there so we got a picture of all the grandkids!! 

Indie 3, Frakie 3 months, Izaiah 5 (in grandpas glasses) Reese 5 days, and Libby 4

Reese eating (guzzling) her bottle and the following picture was taken 5 min later she was out.

 

 We love her in the monkey outfit, can you tell?!?!!

Sleep smiling. LOVE LOVE LOVE this baby girl! 

Sleep Smiling LOVE LOVE LOVE this baby Girl!!

Libby likes to come hold her hand when she is crying!  She then sings her songs to help settle her down.  She always starts with "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and then moves on to her rendition of "I am a child of God" which is a mixture of "I am a child of god" and "Book of Mormon Stories".  It's pretty funny and I get a kick out of it!  I am glad she loved the primary song!  Best part is Libby's voice tends to help make Reese calm and she always stops crying when big sister Libby is around. 

 She started getting tired and grabbed my fingers and held tight.  I know that all babies do this, but man it made me feel pretty important and needed in this Beauties life!
