Reese - One Year

It's so hard to believe that you are an entire year old, and we officially have no more babies in the Miller household.  You've definitely rocked our world since the moment you entered our family. 

Height: 30 in 

Weight: 19.1 lbs 

Clothes: 12-18 months

Diapers: Size 3

This month:

-Your collarbone healed, and you no longer need the wrap. Thank goodness!

-You've enjoyed time outside.  You like to swing, go for walks in the stroller or wagon, and sit on the trampoline while your sisters jump (slowly).

-You celebrated your first Easter and slept through the egg hunt. 

-You've started to get more active.  You aren't quite crawling but can figure out how to roll and scoot to get what you want (if it's close enough). You will also get up on all 4's but are still unsure how to make yourself move. 

-Due to the formula shortage, you've almost fully transitioned to whole milk.  You still will only drink a bottle if it is warmed. 

-You are still a huge Mama's girl!  If you see me, you want me. No one else can hold you except maybe your Dad.  You will gives smiles and kisses, but just don't want to be taken from your Mom

You just love your sisters.  They love to play with you and make you giggle. It melts our hearts to see you all play together. 

You love food!  Mac and cheese, spaghetti, and pancakes are your favorite. You're also a fan of cake and ice cream.  

I left your one year doctor appointment in tears. It sure is hard to answer those “typical development” questions with so many “no’s”. You have hypotonia (low muscle tone) which leads to the uneasiness on your legs or even in crawling position. I’m fighting my best fight to get you in physical therapy. Your weight is also starting to slide (on the percentile graph) and you’re starting on pediasure to try to help that.

Reese, 

You are the perfect ending to our family.  This year has taught us to slow down and appreciate the time we have together.  Although you may not be meeting all of the milestones in "normal" timing, we know that you're growing and changing in God's timing. We are here to witness and cheer you on in every single accomplishment!  We love you so, so much and can't wait to see what the next year has in store for you!
