Traits

Reese has become such an amazing little person. She adds so much fun and laughter to our household. Todd and I were talking this morning about where she gets her traits. Here’s our best assessment from some of her relatives…

Grandma Haag: hair color (with beautiful red tones!) & cute petite stature

Grandpa Haag: love for being busy & constantly working on “projects” (Reese will be Grandpa’s little helper soon)

Grandma Cipra: love for books & affection for other kids (maybe Reese will be a Kindergarten teacher someday too)

Grandpa Cipra: acid reflux (ha, ha) & athleticism (they will be great partners on the court and/or golf course)

Uncle Troy: height (although not as tall as her Haag cousins, still tall compared to her peers)

Aunt Tammy: love for music (sure hope she has musical ability like Tammy too -- and not her tone deaf parents!)

Uncle Brian: verbal skills (Reese chatters all day long and Uncle Brian would never let Mommy talk growing up!)

Mommy: big eyes & determined personality (our two determined personalities could present an interesting dynamic in her teenage years)

Daddy: focus & overlook looks (we call her “little Todd” & she already has daddy wrapped around her little finger)

Both Mommy & Daddy: desire to have things in their place (Reese gets upset when a cabinet door is open or a laundry basket is in the hallway. Oh no, a little perfectionist already!)

Belle (ok, exactly a relative, but we call them "sisters"): love for the outdoors & need for Mommy & Daddy’s attention
