two weeks old

Tuesday, July 2

Our little Reed hit the two week mark Tuesday, July 2! His umbilical cord fell off yesterday as well, which is pretty standard- they say it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 1 month to fall off. He is more aware and alert every day and is cuter and cuter every day too! Grandpa Reed, aka  BoBo arrived last night so we got a Dairy Queen cake to celebrate his 2 week birthday :) Reed had quite a few DQ blizzards throughout the last 9 months so we thought it would be fitting to celebrate with an ice cream cake on this day!! The boys (Grandpa, Brian, James and John) all smoked some cigars and took a few "pulls" of our homemade whiskey (thanks Uncle Christopher) to celebrate this day too... I am sure there will be many more celebrations here in the next 10 days before the Grandparents head home to the scorching desert!

Larry, Sue and Liz Fritsche are all coming up to celebrate the 4th of July with us here in Sandusky so it will be nice to have even more family around for Reed's first holiday celebration :) Let the fireworks begin!
