Reed Update - 2 years!

 

 

 

Height:  35.5 inches (a little less than 7 markers)

Weight:  27 lb

Hair: Blonde

Eyes: Blue

Food: Reed is all about dairy and fruit. When he can get into the fridge he goes straight for the drawer with grapes. And if he thinks about it he reaches for the yogurt. He will have strong bones for sure! He also loves finishing Mel's food.


 

Sleep: Reed is a great sleeper. Sometimes he doesn't want to take a nap, but he's a boy. I can understand that. We are going to start getting away from the sleeping bag and paci sometime soon.

Temperament: Reed is happy when he gets to watch his movies, eat cookies, be outside, or play with his cars. If you stop him from doing one of these things or tell him he cannot do one of these things, "Houston we have a problem." And when he gets really mad he throws things. Not in an "I'm about to explode with rage" kind of thing, more like the "I just want you to see me throw this."  I have to turn away because I can't help but laugh. It's the calmest angry throw you've ever seen.

New adventures:

=Communicating coherently! We've been going to speech for almost 2 months now and Reed has exploded with speech! We couldn't understand a word he said before apart from Mama and Dada, but now we know 90% of what he says. He is much happier that he can get his point across and so are we! He loves going to play with Ms. Sara:

=Helping: If you read this post, you know Reed is great at helping. Some of his favorites are helping prepare meals

=Getting his finger stuck in things: whether it be the shopping cart or a small piece of his car
 

=We're holding the 2T clothes at bay, but it won't be long!

=Climbing: Ugh-I caught him on top of the computer desk the other day. STANDING! That's about 3 feet off the ground. Mild Mommy heart-attack.

=First weekend alone with Daddy! I went on a MOPS leadership retreat, taking Mel with me, and the boys were left to fend for themselves! It sounds like they had a great time!

Waking up with Daddy

Breakfast at Chick-fil-a!

Playing

They had fun playing and doing a few projects around the house. And there was NO whining at bedtime because I wasn't there! They missed us and we sure missed them.



It's hard to believe this little 6 pound baby is so big now!
