17 months

17 months has gone by way too fast and I am loving every stage. Reese is learning so much and I have been so impressed with her ability to pronounce words and how much she remembers. She says new words everyday, but I am very proud that she almost always says "please" and "thank you". She loves books and constantly wants to sit on your lap and have you read to her. Her favorite book is "Goodnight Moon" and she takes it everywhere. Ron and I have it memorized and just start to recite the book as she turns pages in random order. She loves balloons and flowers and finds them wherever we go. She finds balloons in every grocery store we go to and she gets so excited sometimes that random people will give her their balloon. Reese loves to dance and is very coordinated. She impresses me with her rhythm and is very strong. She loves to jump and is completely fearless. It is so funny when she jumps off the couch onto her beanbag. She will yell "ready, set, go" and then fall or jump onto her bean bag. Reese is really tough and hardly ever cries when she falls, but gets right back up and continues to run. She runs everywhere she goes and is constantly trying to climb something. I love her spunk and excitement for life.

She loves pizza

It is so funny to me that Reese is insistent on wearing certain clothing already. She wants to wear her ladybug  leggings and her flower thermal shirt everyday. If she sees her pants or shirt, she will take off her clothes and try to put on her ladybug pants and flower shirt. We started just letting her wear this outfit for pajamas so she can wear them almost everyday.

Another favorite of Reese's are these Dip n Dots. It's funny how when I was growing up, I always wanted to get some at Lagoon and Fairs, but my mom never let us because they were too expensive and now we can buy them in the store for a $1. Reese loves them when her molars are coming in, which means we have had them almost every night this week:)

Reese loves to play dress up. She found this bike helmet and tutu in her closet and wanted to wear it all day long. ( Notice her ladybug leggings:)

Reese loves watching USC football with Ron and is so good at yelling USC and raising her hands when they score a touchdown.

 Reese loves her big puppy Sachi. They are best friends and Reese loves to give her hugs and constantly patting her. I love that Sachi is so submissive to Reese and is protective of her.
