THIS FACE brightens our lives every day, and I swear his eyes keep getting bluer and bluer. Reed is now 17months and on the move, his kid can run fast! His vocabulary is quickly expanding, a few favorites: "da bawl, trow it", "aw dun", "mama mama mama", "up"(which means either up or down) and last but not least "wassat?" (what's that?)
Reed's favorite books are "Goodnight Gorilla", "My World" and "Counting Ladybugs" He likes Goodnight Gorilla so much he decided to take a bite out of it the other day. Reed loves balls and books, and has no interest in toys. If you're not sure where Reed went, the mudroom trying on everyone's shoes is a pretty safe bet.
Reed points to things he wants and says "Dat!" He also shakes his head no very emphatically to let you know he disagrees with you. He likes to help me, his favorite ways to help are by throwing things in the garbage, putting clothes in the washer and "helping" me fold laundry by rolling around in it and terrorizing my folded piles. He loves to clap, play high five and give kisses.
Reed wants to be treated just like the big kids, no baby cups for this kid, he wants a regular cup just like everyone else, he insists on a fork at dinner, and lines up to wash his hands with his big brother and sister.
We are so lucky to have this little ray of sunshine in our lives to keep us on our toes. Dennis and I always joke life would be boring with our little Reed.
