Reese - Three

 Reese Monroe is three! 

How did our baby girl grow up so fast? 

-You are still a Mommy's girl most of the time, but at times, you would choose Grandma Kathy over me.

-Your speech has taken off! You went from barely being able to put two word phrases together in August to talking in sentences by December.  Your vocabulary has expanded so, so much.

-You adore Zella and look forward to any time you can see her. 

-You've started Prek with Kinley and seem to like it more each day.  Getting on the bus that first day was rough, but you've had 5 days and each day seemed to get easier. 

-You love to sing.  You're favorite songs right now: Old McDonald, Alphabet Song, BINGO, and the Encanto Soundtrack. 

-You've transitioned to a toddler bed, and this summer I think we're going to get you an even bigger Big Girl bed. 

-You LOVE to be outside. You like to swing, slide, play with bubbles or chalk, ride any of the riding toys, and get on the trampoline.

-You've stopped PT for now, but we have some things that we're going to continue to work on with you at home. You're doing amazing and have gone from SMO's to "chipmunks" which are just inserts in your shoes. 

-You call all of your Hawks gear "Daddy's Basketball Game".  You really enjoyed going to the gym to watch Daddy coach.  You would yell "Hi Daddy" on repeat until he acknowledged you.  You also enjoyed the popcorn and snacks from the concession stand. 

-You love going to the zoo!  We've been three times since it opened and I think you'd like to go every day. 

-You enjoy going to watch your sisters play in all their games whether its volleyball, basketball, or softball.  I think you may enjoy all the snacks the most. 

-Your favorite things to watch are still Cocomelon and Encanto. 

-You're basically fully potty trained. You're down to very few accidents and you've been the easiest of all 3!

You are growing up so fast and right before our eyes.  I look back at pictures of that teeny baby you once were and can't believe that you're already three.  You have proven over and over that you have so much strength and determination.  You've conquered so many goals and continue to keep working harder.  

Reese, 

We love you more than words can say and look forward to watching you grow each day.  We thank God that He gave you to us to complete our family.
