What Reid has been up to lately:
1. Reid is crawling everywhere!!! He loves to be on the move and does not stay still for very long.
2. Reid has learned to pull up. One night at dinner we looked at the camera monitor and noticed that he was about to fall over the side of his crib. It in only took a split second to get him, and then daddy got the tools out to lower the crib. He also likes to pull up to the couch, windows, boxes, well just about anything he can he will attempt.
3. Loves to eat and will eat just about anything. I make his baby food and so we have tried an array of flavors. He also likes to chew on green beans and we discovered that at my birthday lunch at P.F. Chains.
4. First airplane and metro ride on our trip to Washington D.C.
5. Nap time has changed. I used to lay him down with his paci and blanket and he would go to sleep. Now he likes to get in bed, stand until I leave the room and then play until he crashes
6. Took a trip to the Hill Country. Went to his cousin Bentley's soccer game and played with his cousin London. Stopped for a nap in Luckenbach, Texas and shopped with his daddy at the outlet mall.
7. Had his first berry picking experience. He loved it until his daddy took away his berry. Dad says that he squished it and it was staining his clothes. The next morning he had strawberries and yogurt for breakfast.
9. Reid has been playing with his cousin Makenlee and loves it. (Reid's mommy his her nanny) He also likes to see cousin Jacob when I take care of him too.
10. Reid visited Baylor hospital again for the birth of Madison his NEWEST COUSIN. She is so precious and already has more hair then he has on his head.
11. Reid has been teething and drooling like crazy and one of his bottom teeth is soon to break though.
12. New motor development he like to shake a rattle or other toys. He also has learned to blow with his mouth and stick out his tongue.

TOO CUTE!!!

One of the best things about taking pictures of Reid was all of the oohs and ahhs, and requests to take his picture. It was a highlight of the day!

Dallas Blooms

I love the month of March!!! Some of my favorite things occur such as the spring weather, March Madness basketball tournament, tulips, my birthday, and sunny evenings. It makes me want to get outdoors and spend time with the ones I love. This past weekend we took a trip to see the flowers at the Arboretum in Dallas. If you have never been I would highly recommend it, and would love to go with you. A picnic lunch is the way to go, but the tea room is nice too!

6 Months Old

6 Months Old Stats:
Weight 15 pounds 7 ounces
Height 26 1/4 inches
Head 16 3/4

What we have been doing:
1. Reid can sit up all by himself, he can do it for awhile but will usually decide that he wants to get moving.
2. Reid is crawling!!! Yes, at first I did not believe what I was seeing and until he actually crawled across his bedroom to me in the closet did I officially say he is crawling.
3. A little after 5 months I started to eat rice cereal (which I really like) and now I eat my fruits and veggies. I have tried applesauce(I was not a fan, mommy says she never has been either), I love pears, sweet potatoes, and I am still getting used to the taste of carrots.
4. I make all kinds of sound effects with my mouth....my mommy and daddy are teaching me a lot. I even know how to make the tooting sound (a.k.a. a blubber). Uncle Mark took a video of me doing that and wants to send it in to America's Funniest Home Video.
5. Reid sleeps all night from 7:30pm to 7:30am on most nights
6. Mom thinks basketball might be the sport for me, because I look very tall and skinny.
7. I am on the move and really do not like to sit still very much (which explains why Reid eats a lot and still is lean)
8. On a nice day Reid likes to watch the dogs fetch their ball, and the dogs like to be really close when he is eating (they are becoming best buds)
9. Valentines Day was fun, I played with Makenlee while mommy and daddy went on a date. Now Makenlee carries my picture around and says "eid" all the time.
10. Bentley, Kennedy, and London came over to Reid's house to visit severall times and they are so sweet to their cousin. They love it when I send videos of what Reid has been doing around the house.
11. Reid is ticklelish all over, and laughs when he gets tickled
12. Reid went to visit at Mt. Peak Elementary for lunch with his mommy's teacher friends. She misses her teaching buddies, but is so blessed to get to stay home with Reid each day.

First Veggie

Reid loves to eat his solid food. He loves sweet potatoes so much that he lunges his mouth towards the spoon and gets upset when the bowl is empty. He then loves to lick his bowl. I have a feeling I am going to be buying a lot of groceries in the years to come for him!

Happy Valentines Day

Mommy and Daddy got me a phone so I can call my friends and family and say "I Love You."
