The folks at Wild Wasabi loved his bib!

I forgot to post this picture of Reed during his nasty virus that made him rashy. This was about a month ago. Poor thing still smiled!

I cannot believe I am more than a month past due to update the blog. So much for my moment-by-moment account of my dear firstborn’s life!

I’ll try to play catch up now. Reed is crawling like a maniac and pulling up on everything! He has begun cruising this week and can sidestep down our large ottoman pretty quickly.
He has 10 teeth — two of which are molars that are coming in now and bothering the heck out of him.
He is saying momma, dada, da (for dog) and lots of other sounds. He says momma repeatedly when he is upset.
He cackles and giggles and laughs like Bevis of Bevis and Butthead (huh-huh-huh-huh-huh).
He likes to blow raspberries on your arm. And laughs back when you laugh at him doing it.
He loves to eat Mum Mums, cheerios, chunky baby food and cheese. He also likes puffs and yogurt melts.
He smiles almost all the time, and it is easy to take him places. He loves to flirt with people and look at them.
He is still madly in love with Simone and she tolerates him ok, but runs away from him a lot when he chases after her.

Below are some pictures from our summer. We have done a lot!
