reed: week 39

It's amazing what Reed is able to learn in a week! He is so strong and determined and HAPPY! He has mastered the walker routine down and we now do laps in the hallway- especially around 5:15 when Dad gets home!!! Reed makes so much noise as he runs through the hallway waiting for Dad...I am sure our neighbors enjoy it :) He is making more noise and learning new noises and it is so cute to sit back and listen. He is such a joy and we are so blessed.

nine months old

Can't believe Reed is already 9 months old today! Time has flown by- even with it being the longest, coldest, snowiest winter on record! He is doing great and learning so much so quickly! We love our little bundle of joy THIS MUCH!




reed: week 38

Another fabulous week with our little man! He is so much fun but also so much work these days... He is a curious little guy and tries to figure out everything, especially the things that we try to keep him away from! He is walking better on his walker, talking more and more and just the happiest little guy!

reed: week 37

Reed is a week shy of 9 months and boy has he changed drastically in the last month or so! He is so strong and determined... and makes Brian and I a bit nervous at times! We lowered the crib all the way to the floor so that allowed for some more sleep for all :) We have yet to baby proof this house because we leave so soon, so we watch him like a hawk and play games doing keep-away! He is fast, smart and so happy! Reed had his 9 month well check a week early and he weighed in at a solid 19 pounds and 27.5 inches tall!

reed: on lake erie

Favorite Family photo with Reed so far.....Brian talked us into walking on the frozen lake before we left for California. Once Patron galloped on, we were all feeling a bit safer ;) We walked about a half a mile out from the docks by our lofts and took some amazing photos! Good times!!!

family fun
we're on a lake!!!!

look at that air

 
 


reed: weeks 35 & 36

Reed, Patron and I are home from our 2 week visit to CA! It was a great two weeks that went by way too fast but we are all very happy to be home with Brian :)
 
We made the most out of our time in beautiful Indian Wells- enjoyed hiking the mountains, playing in the pool, taking long walks without wearing 4 layers, visiting the Living Desert and being around BoBo and JuJu! Reed changed a lot in those 2 weeks and Brian really noticed it while we played on his day off yesterday. Reed can now sit up from laying down on his own, he pulls himself up on toys and in his crib, he is much more confident walking with this walker and he is starting to get his 2 top teeth! BoBo and JuJu baby sat while Mommy went to her future SIL bachelorette party and got her wisdom teeth out and all enjoyed their time together. Sad to leave them, the mountains and that sunshine but nice to be home with the family and the count down is on for the new adventure- Brian got his release date from this project in Sandusky (April 23) but we have yet to hear where our new home will be....keep you posted!
