15 months old

Our girl is now 1.25 years old...wow! Taking these month birthday pics (yes, still in that silly 3 month sized onsie) is getting more and more difficult. Reese is becoming a very good climber and its hard to get her to sit still while I take the pics when she's much more interested in climbing off the chair OR standing on the arms of the chair while rocking it...she's a nut! Reese celebrated her 15 month birthday by taking a kayak ride around the pool (see the next post) and enjoying the beautiful weather we had this weekend.
