two months old

August 18, 2013

Reed is two months old in this picture....actually 10 weeks today since I am a bit behind in posting this :)

Reed had his 2 month check up with his pediatrician and things are looking great. He took his shots like a champ- I think I was more disturbed then he was! He is exactly 13 pounds and 22 3/4 inches long. He is in the 68% for weight, 36% for height and 99% for head circumference!!! We knew that head was big coming out of the belly but damn...99%!!! He laughs more and more, smiles all the time and is talking often. We taught him how to stick his tongue out- which we may be paying for down the road but it is so cute right now! Its amazing how he concentrates and tries to mimic you. He is one healthy and happy boy and Brian and I are so thankful for that.

 





reed: week 7 & 8

It's been a few weeks since we've updated this blog...we were on vacation in California! August has been a busy and fun month so far. The past two weeks Reed made a new friend- an 11 month old girl that just moved in across the way, played at the beach, watched Dad race nascar and just spent 10 days in California! Reed was absolutely fabulous on his first plane ride so that was a huge relief for Brian and I :) We flew direct to San Francisco, spent the night at Reed's Godparent's house in Sacramento and then spent a few days celebrating Christopher and Greta's Engagement in Tahoe with lots of family and friends. Brian went home after Tahoe and Reed and I spent the week with my parents in Palm Desert where we visited friends in San Diego and Orange County and then ventured to Ojai where he attended his first wedding! Reed was such a trouper during all this traveling, with only a few meltdowns throughout the 10 day adventure. I was quite nervous for the flight home by myself but Reed was good to his momma and only cried (well lets be honest- he screamed) a few times- once through check-in where I am sure everyone was praying they weren't on our flight, then again while we walked to the gate and then one quick meltdown on the flight- which felt like eternity to me!!! Overall it was a great trip and Reed was amazing considering all he did, we are so blessed he is so good and allowed us to travel and see everyone.

reed: week 6

Week six has been another fun adventure for the Pearson's... Reed started to sleep in his crib at night- which has been great for Brian and I! As much as we loved having him close at night, it is nice to have our room back and use that monitor. We think he is going through a little growth spurt as well. He was eating like crazy for a few days and he has weaned himself from one of the wee hour morning feedings! We now try to put him to bed around 8 p.m. (still trying to work out some kinks here!) and then he usually gets up around 2:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. (ish!) so that is great news for me :) We have also had our share of blowouts this week. So many that we are now experimenting with new brands of diapers. Those aren't too fun for Brian and I but Reed sure think they are funny. He has been smiling so much so at least we know he is one happy camper!
