Reid is at Grandma Joyce’s today, in the middle of an almost two week visit. I’m home alone and am remembering how much she has changed in her six (six!) years. I have to say that my collection of Reid’s birthday pictures doesn’t represent the best pics I’ve ever taken, may even show some of the worst ones, but here they are:

[1]

2004 - July 25ishReid seemed so tiny when she was born, despite being 8 pounds, 8 ounces.

For Reid’s 1st birthday, we had pizza (the proof is one her face). Her grin shows that she was eager to get her fingers into her cake.

The American Girl princess dress Reid received for her 2nd birthday was very well received.

These yellow boots with a firefighters’ emblem on them were the hit of Reid’s 3rd birthday.

[5]
We were in Toronto to send Ken off on his first Afghanistan mission for Reid’s 4th birthday.

Once Reid stopped playing in her cake, she decided she didn’t like it. Pie was on the menu for Reid’s 5th birthday.

This isn’t Reid’s 6th birthday picture but since I’m here and she is there, I’ll stare at this one a bit.
