reed: week 15

This week has been interesting! We got home from our road trip and it was nice to get back to our normal day-to-day routine....for a day! It seems that Reed has hit the infamous "4 month sleep regression" a little early. Gone are the days when we put him down at 7:30pm and he slept until 6am! He now wakes up 1-3 times a night again and rumor is this will last for 4-6 weeks. Since we have come to terms that our sleep is gone, we figured we make another change now too- no more being swaddled at night! It's been 4 nights that we have done this and it is so funny to watch him over the monitor. This guy has crazy legs and arms and his talking and moaning is out of control! Half the time we go in to check on him- thinking the noises he is making are those of being unhappy- he is sleeping! Its amazing he doesn't wake himself up. He is getting very close to rolling over- he has done it twice on accident this past week but he is perfecting those skills and should be rolling over on purpose soon. His giggling is becoming more apparent but we are still waiting for a full blown chuckle and can't wait for the day to get here and hear him laugh! Besides that- Reed is still his happy little self. A complete joy to be around everyday. We are truly lucky!

reed: week 13 & 14

The Pearson's are home from our first family road trip!

 

3,000 miles, 12 days, 10 states, 2 weddings and many first were had by Reed and he was exceptional throughout. We left Ohio and headed to Boston for Kristen Culgin's Wedding, then we headed to Rockland for a quick visit and then to the Cape for a few days of relaxation. After that we made our way down to Tennessee where we stopped in Knoxville, Nashville and then Memphis for Megan Millican's wedding before heading back home to Ohio. It was a great trip and Reed was awesome throughout. He is so happy and flexible with traveling and we are the luckiest parents.

Reed turned 1/4 of a year yesterday and is doing fabulous! He is still sleeping great- sometimes waking up once to eat and other nights sleeping 12 hours straight, so we can not complain there! He is so happy and is talking so much these days. We just love sitting back and conversing with him ;) We are still battling the cradle cap but it is getting better and if that's our biggest problem, I think we've got it pretty darn good! 

 

We start our family road trip today, so Reed will be making an appearance in several states over the next 11 days! We have Brian's cousin, Kristen getting married in Boston and then my cousin, Megan, getting married in Memphis the following week so we have some fun times and family introductions ahead! Definitely looking forward to our first family vacation...yes, Patron is also joining us on the road :)

 



reed: week 12

Reed had another fabulous week with a few visitors throughout! His Godmother, Courtney, came to visit during the week and got some great one on one time with her! He is a lucky boy to have her in his life. Then after she left to head back to CA, Brian's family came for the weekend! He got to meet Uncle Dave and Paul and cousin, Charles...the biker crew who road their motorcycles all the way to Sandusky, Ohio to play! We all had a great week eating, drinking and being merry :)

reed: week 11

12 weeks ago today we finally met our little boy, Reed! We can't believe it's been 12 weeks and he will be three months old in a few days...

 

This past week he has still been sleeping great and just a pleasure to be around. Football started so Reed got to wear all his fabulous sports attire. He watched his Dad's teams, the Knights dominate on Friday and the Dolphin's dominate on Sunday. Saturday he supported JuJu and BoBo's team, the Mizzou Tigers! He loves his football...and the outfits too :)

 

Here are some favorites from the last week.

reed: week 10

Today Reed is 11 weeks old and everything is going well! He started sleeping 11-12 hours at night over the weekend and it is amazing :) He is coo-ing and smiling more everyday, if thats possible. I feel like a laugh will come any day now! He is so happy and it is so fun to watch him grow by the day.

 

Over the past week he went to the beach again- trying to squeeze as much Patron time in as possible while the weather is nice. He met my old office staff- went to lunch with Dr. Ryu and the girls last week and then this past weekend was Labor Day! Brian, Reed and I went on the Goodtime Boat Island Hopper on Friday which was a blast. Went for a long walk on Kelley's Islands and then rented a golf cart and went all over Put In Bay Island. Reed was fantastic on his first boat ride and island adventure and topped it off with a huge blowout on the boat ride home...which was so big and gross that it brought Brian and I to tears laughing! I'm possitive we looked like first time parents at that moment! Sunday we had a bbq at the pool here at our lofts and had some friends over. Reed loves the pool :) Can't believe it is already September and this little guy will be 3 months old soon. Where did the summer go!
