She's Always So Happy

Irelynn is the happiest little girl. Sometimes I catch her smiling when not a soul is around - just smiling because she's happy. And if she's not smiling, it doesn't take much work to get her going. I hear from Branson all day long, "She smiled at me! She smiled at me again and again!" She is even laughing already. She gets so excited that she'll smile and take a deep breath at the same time making her laugh. It's adorable (and it makes the rest of us laugh). Natalya and Branson love it now that Irelynn is old enough to respond to them.

Here are her latest pictures. She's already 12 pounds, 12 ounces and wearing 3-6 month clothes. It actually makes me sad! I could have a teeny tiny baby for a year before they start growing. But I do love to see her personality developing. She's my sunshine.


I love her perfect little lips - even when they're all wet with drool bubbles.


I love her little bear hugs. Can her cheeks get any chubbier?










Yep, looks like a Reeve to me!



I have a question...

I have several friends that have left comments on my blog and I can't access their profile to read their blog. Is there another online way of getting their blog address so that I can contact them? I always feel bad when someone says, "We should get together sometime" and I can't respond!

A Golfer In the Making

Daddy, Grandad and Uncle Brett took Branson to the driving range.
Yes, he's adorable.




And it doesn't get much cuter than that!

Irelynn's Beautiful Blessing

On October 19th, Irelynn received the most beautiful blessing given by her father and witnessed by our church congregation. She wore the same blessing dress that Natalya wore over 4 years ago. What a beautiful occasion it was to be there with our family in honor of such a special little girl. Those in attendance were: My parents (Grandma & Grandaddy), Brian's father and step-mother (Grandad & Granny Kim), Brian's mother (Nana), and Brian's brother and his wife (Uncle Brett & Auntie Stacie), along with many friends in the congregation. We love our baby girl and are so blessed with a loving Heavenly Father who has entrusted these sweet spirits to us. Family is priceless.

She is so loved.
