So if there is one thing that I have learned since having Reese it is that there is nothing that begs people to strike up conversation with you more than toting around a newborn. Even more so than being incredibly pregnant if you can believe that! While our trips out are still a bit limited nearly every turn you are met with "How old is your baby?" The neighbors, who we are not especially close with, come running out to say hello....and we quickly realize it is not us they want to see, but Reese! And really....who wouldn't?!?! Regardless, I highly recommend having a baby (or obtaining one by other means) if you are looking to meet people in your community!
Reese is doing great and entertaining us to no end. We spend lots of time simply gazing at her both when she is sleeping as well as when she is awake. My biggest question is what babies dream about...often we see her twitch, furrow her brow, and even smile in her sleep. With such a limited frame of reference, I find it fascinating to think about what little movie they are watching in their sleep....my best guess is either eating or pooping....
Grandma and Grandpa Spencer are visiting this week, so Reese has been busy admiring this side of her family tree. She is enjoying all the extra holding and rocking and attention and of course the extra rides in the car as we do some sight seeing in the area (she LOVES the car)! I might also add that she is batting 1000 on eating out in public. We have had her out about 6 or 7 times now and we have been pleasantly surprised as she dozes through the meal. Lets just hope she stays such a sweetie!
Anyway, at almost 1 month old (yikes) Reese is such an amazing addition to our lives! It is already quite hard to imagine life before she arrived!
