Ten Whole Months

Reed--Reedus-- Reedus Beedus--Buddy--Big Boy--Little Man--Baby Boy--

How did you get this big in 10 short months? You are such a good baby. You love to be outside, you talk to the wind in your face. You love the phone, the remote, diaper wipes (you're eating one right now, ha!), the Tylenol bottle (don't worry about his safety, it's an old one that's empty), paper and especially keys. In short, you love anything not toy related (make note of that for birthday and Christmas). You have so much to say and babble all the time. The kids love when you babble ma-ma, da-da, ba-ba. They think you know what you are saying and even say you've said your first word. You are wearing 18-24 month size pants and 24 month shirt/onsies.

You have the funniest, fluffy hair. I put lotion in it for a little style and you rub in out in a couple hours. You love to rub the hair on the top of your head when you are nursing. I think it's so sweet but there's no modest way to capture that in photo. You love your family so very much. When you see Daddy, your face lights up. When he takes you and you look back at me, it's like you haven't seen me in days. When we pick the kids up from school you smile and coo because they've finally come home. You are loud at church, especially in sacrament meeting. You are heavy and when you fall asleep, you are dead, dead weight to carry around. You are finally liking food on a spoon. Especially noodles and soup. We officially skipped all baby food. Even rice cereal. Don't tell the doctor! Your dad has taught you to push the door open when you're going into another room. You think it's funny and that you are so big. You have 3 teeth, all on the bottom. You are such a blessing and we know how blessed we are to have you in our home. We love you buddy!! (and still can't believe you are so, so close to being one!)

This is so sweet, Melanie. So sweet. What a good mom thing to write every month. And Reed is such a funny baby. He's as sweet as your post.

Holy cow! Really 18-24 months? He IS a big boy! I'll bet he gets heavy to carry after awhile.

What a sweet sweet baby he is, and these thoughts of yours will be a treasure to look back on.
