so precious!

Jeff took this picture in the hospital right before we left. It is my favorite. Isn't she so sweet!

happy birthday bentley.

My Bentley girl just turned 2 on March 6th. It's crazy looking back at how small she started out.

My favorite time with her in NICU was holding her tummy to tummy.

Leaving the hospital 7 weeks later at 4 lbs.

So big now and full of life!


Her favorite thing to do lately is drag her chair into the kitchen and pull EVERYTHING out of the silverware drawer. She does it every single day.

She has absolutely no interest in t.v. but books she loves.

She got her first bath in the kitchen sink the other day and thought it was the coolest thing ever!

We had a little birthday get together on her birthday with some family and friends. It was the night that Reese was put under the lights for jaundice so I was running late to my own party and forgot my camera. I feel bad that I didn't capture the party. It was a lot of fun and Bentley got a lot of cool presents. Thank you to everyone that came and made Bentley's birthday a special day.

the first week home.

Jeff was washing her hair and she loved it. She was as calm as can be.

Bentley wanted to help with some things when she came home. Now she wants nothing to do with her but try and pull her out of the swing and bouncer. I have to have hawk eyes with this little two year old.


All clean and tuckered out.

Reese's first tanning experience. She had jaundice pretty bad the first week so we had to put her under the lights for one day. She didn't seem to mind it. I thought the eye covers would freak her out but no no. She slept so sound in that thing.


My little girls!!

In the Hospital

The first night bonding with baby Reese. We love her so much!

Jeff loves being a dad of two little girls!!


First bath, first good shampoo.

My dad, Jo, and my mom all waiting for the arrival.

Reese Sophia Willardson

Reese was born on March 1, 2008 at 6:45 pm. She weighed in at a whopping 5 pounds 11 ounces. She is 20 inches long. I am sure that when Di gets home, she will go into detail about the whole day. But for now... here are some of the first pictures.
