Reese is such a blessing in our lives! Everything has changed, for sure, but I wouldn't change it back. He is the sweetest boy! He's a great sleeper...he started sleeping through the night at about 5 weeks old and now he goes to bed around 8:30 and wakes up anywhere from 8:30 to 10 or 11 in the morning! And on top of that he's a good napper...just lay him in his crib and he'll sooth himself to sleep. So we definitely can't complain in the sleep department :) The only worry I do have is that he loves his thumb, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Reese is such a happy little guy! He's smiling and giggling all the time. When he wakes up I can hear him talking and cooing...my favorite sounds! Don't get me wrong, if he's mad he'll let you know. He's at his best when things are more consistent. But for the most part he's a very content little baby. The first time he really giggled was around the same time as my birthday and I almost cried I was so excited! It was the sweetest thing I had ever heard.
Over the last couple weeks Reese has developed a love for WalMart that I just don't understand, but I am grateful because trips to the store would be a lot more miserable if he didn't like it. It may be the lights or just all of the different things there are to look at but for some reason he squeals and smiles almost the whole time we're there!
Speaking of Morgan, he is the best dad! I love watching him play and interact with Reese. Seeing them together just melts my heart. One thing that has been a big adjustment (more for me than for Morgan) is taking on the role of being a parent and taking care of a dependent little one, but still working on our relationship at the same time. It's a harder balance than I thought it would be. Now that Reese goes to bed earlier it's a little easier to have some time to ourselves but we've still had to get creative for our dates. Reese has been going through a little bit of a separation anxiety phase so I feel bad leaving him with sitters, plus our budget is a little tighter than it used to be :) So the other night we pulled our mattress out into the living room for a sleepover/drive-in movie night and it was really fun! I'm thankful for such a loving (and patient) husband!
Well it's about time to call it a night. Just a few more pictures...this kid and his facial expressions...he cracks me up! Here's a few of my favorites :)
I never realized I could love two boys so much but I wouldn't trade these two for anything in the world! The only thing I wish I could do was freeze time so it wouldn't go by so fast.
