When I think about you, I smile. You have brought joy and laughter to my heart. Today, your aunts, Mimi and I were reminiscing about the day you were born. As I sit quietly now and reflect on those memories, I see how much that day was a prophetic telling of you and your personality.
Your arrival was quite the surprise as I wasn't expecting you quite so early. Even now, you are full of surprises. The contractions were hard, but you didn't waste any time once you decided to join us in the real world. As you have grown, I see that same head-strong determination and gusto as you are figuring out your likes and dislikes. I know that you are going to approach life with that same zeal. Upon checking in at the hospital, the nurses quickly determined you were well on your way albeit the wrong way. You were breach so you needed a little extra help, but that didn't hold you back. It just expedited the process and Mommy thanks you for that! You were perfectly formed and you continue to develop so beautifully.
At this point, you love, love, love gymnastics! Already an accomplished gymnast for your age group, you are fearless which truthfully makes me a little nervous! You have expressed an interest in ballet like your older sister, so I cannot wait to see the gifts and talents God has placed inside of you! You have already learned several scriptures and your bedtime prayers are always full of the names of everyone you love and sometimes you even mention people you don't really know that well. What a fair-skinned blonde beauty you are with the most beautiful blue eyes that seem to dance when you smile that gorgeous smile of yours. Your laughter and your smile are infectious and I know that you, my daughter, will bring much joy to those you meet along your journey.
You have several nicknames: Reesey, Reesey Bug, Reesey Roo (that's mine), Buttercup (that's Daddy's), Reesey Cup (almost everyone calls you that at some point), Baby Sister (Carlisle's, of course), and no matter how many more names are added to this list, you will forever be my Baby Girl.
I am so proud of you and I love you so very much. I am honored to be your Mommy!
